I really hate to be an asshole about this, but I took a look at your pricing model:

- $0.30 / GB of bandwidth

- $0.30 / GB / month of storage

From what I see, you could host this on AWS and be "profitable" with just one customer, right? I mean, if your definition of profitability includes only your variable non-staff costs, which seems to be how you're defining it...

If EC2 instances were free, sure. :-)


I'm assuming you're using S3 for storage, right? And the pricing for S3 is less than your pricing, so where's your additional marginal cost? Is it just an EC2 instance to handle the requests? Still seems like a really low threshold...
