Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but it looks like 1 TB of outgoing traffic would be ~$90

https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/

I've had things hit the HN front page a few times while just hosting on ec2 and never had a noticeable increase in charges. Then again, I wasn't hosting very large files.

If you do host large-ish files, even a couple MB JPGs, your personal finance wouldn't be happy.

I've had some images hit reddit (hotlinked) and exceeded 10-15TB per image, and that cost under $10 at other (non-AWS/Azure/*) places.

I have a similar experience and using UpCloud VPS as been able to keep my cost down (less than $5/m or a cup of coffee)
