Cost of hosting web-app grails/rails?
I have been trying to search around and have not really found an answer for the cost of a web app I want to host. Its not a small one, and the AWS calculator gives me crazy prices.

I am trying to host a rails/grails app (its grails, but I figure that it would cost about the same).
I did some calculations to expect how much data transfer, but I've never done this before, so I'm not sure about the certainty.
I will be hosting around 20,000 pdfs of about 1mb each. I'm expecting about 25,000 GB data out a year from loading pages and files. I'm expecting about 2,000 GB data-in per year. I think I need about 50 to 70 GB GB of storage for the files and database.
Around how much should I expect to pay? Its a grails application.
Thank you!

PS: The similar questions I found deal with only smaller applications, and in those even people who are very experienced开发者_运维百科 mentioned the AWS calculator as being hard to figure out.
I'd also look at cloudfoundry (http://cloudfoundry.com), it's currently free while in beta, comes with a grails plugin that is really great as well as STS integration.
I believe you can also use it to deploy to aws their service is better later.
S3 calc says that it will costs you about $9 per month for storing this data (looks no to expensive) and $300 for data transfer (are you sure that there will be few terabytes of data transfer a month?)
BTW, if your app is designed for storing PDF, it's main part of your app, then there will be no significant difference between using Grails or RoR
