If you've such big site, you should avoid resource priced cloud and go with your own VPS. It might take you more time to set it up, but it will be definitely much cheaper ($50/month and less), and it can surely handle all your traffic until it grows really big....



Yeah see here for example for 1TB/month traffic VPS: http://iwstack.com/, or unmetered traffic with dedicated box: http://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/dedicated-server-o...

The cost effectiveness really depends on whether your data would fit into that 1TB or it'd require much more.


Even if his data doesn't fit into that 1TB, he can always delegate storage to different VPS and use a load balancer.

Saying "I have infinite data" is not an excuse for not looking for alternatives.
