This number is on the money for me actually. With the traffic above (5k visitors day average plus front page HN + front page of some mid-sized subreddit spikes… which end up in the low x0,000k/hr)… I pay a grand total of ~30$/month (CDN included), but I use the same machine to run coordination scripts for my GPU machines and to host friend wordpress blogs.
Then again, I optimized the website quite a bit, and the comment+auth system (remark42) is also a monster in terms of minimalism and caching.
