To get an idea of the cost choose any cloud service and see how much you pay for the server usage by the hour. Try to llok at all the other costs involved in the business, production of dedicated content is not cheap. All the company staff, the administration and the billing have a cost.
Do not go by assumptions, measure, try to get an idea of the real costs.
I have access to 40€/month 10Gb symmetric (this is a commercial offer, so it's obviously cheaper for them). Now tell me bandwith is so so expensive.
It was expensive back in the day, not so much any more, and prices plunge every year.
I'm sure the cloud cost that is advertised to me is there same as what would be provided to a multinational corp.
