Depends on the computational cost per request. If you're serving static content from memory, 10k/s sounds easy. If you constantly have to calculate diffs across ranges of commits, I imagine a couple dozen can bring your box down.

Also: who's your webhost? $1/m sounds like a steal.

You can sometimes find special (loss-leader) deals in this range on LowEndTalk. Typically you'll have to pay upfront for a block of one or two years.
