Some of the metering can make it anywhere from 10X to 1000X more expensive.
Yeah, I do NOT get people suggesting AWS as CHEAP.
It's CHEAP if you have the Free Tier and don't use it... well, not really even then. I pay a few bucks a month per server, and that's JUST TO HOLD MY DATA, no traffic to speak of. While I can get a dedicated server, for a couple bucks more a month, with unlimited traffic.
