The $600/mo figure has to be considered against the type of workload your servers run, and how variable your traffic patterns are.

If you need to handle bursty traffic, you're likely going to get best value in shared tenancy services until you can fully utilize your servers. Otherwise, you will probably end up paying for idle infrastructure.

It has nothing to do with workload, that's the price for a dedicated IP to serve a TLS certificate to serve the (rapidly diminishing number of) non-SNI capable browsers and devices.
