The sliders should be on a log scale to accommodate both small and large users.
Shameless plug, but I have a pet project to help with these types of calculations. I made a quick calc here:
You can type in any amounts you need. OP has a great visualization though!

This is great!
Thanks, it's been in the works for a while but it's a fun side thing.
I think that adding some popular/pre-defined packages (that could change the slider's values) would help "regular" users.
About the slider, the horizontal lines are useless without references.
I was thinking the same thing. I've just started using S3 on a rails project for learning purposes and (I think) it's free for the amount of data I'm using.
edit: props on the good work though!
Yeah. Especially for someone who hosts a static blog.

Good point - I thought about this a bit and figured I could take one of a couple of approaches 1) log scale (probably a bit confusing / harder to implement) 2) a switch between personal and business (could do similar switches for other settings like region
thoughts?

How about if you could double click on the slider to enter your own exact value. Also maybe throw in a checkbox for reduced redundancy?
The sliders should offer some way to get more granularity. Maybe scale the sliders the higher they go, or have a separate option to select the scale you want to work on.
