Simple Schedule C Expenses Question

This is my first year filling a Schedule C for my business, a single member LLC filing as a sole proprietorship. My company is Internet based with no tangle goods and is run out of my house. I don't have room for an office that is

100% used by the business so I'm not claiming a home office deduction. My two major expenses are Internet access via a commercial broadband account which came to just over $2,500 for the year and the costs of website hosting which was around $600. I also have a residential broadband account so I can claim 100% business use for the commercial account. The question is exactly where should I place these expenses? Right now I have them lumped together on line 25 under "Utilities" but I'm wondering if $3,372 for Utilities might raise eyebrows at the IRS? Should I instead file the Internet access and hosting costs under line 27 "Other expenses" and put the details in line 48? Thanks for any answers and advise!

I'm not sure that web hosting should be consider "utilities", but you can't go wrong with using "Other". The IRS computers might kick it out for a human to look at, but I agree that your expenses are normal for your business.
