Or would that be considered too expensive?

I can't answer for Amy and Thomas, but I guess the answer would be it depends on the project. If you are building a freeminum project with lots of pageviews, you'd have to watch server costs more than a SaaS with only paying customers. Just do a quick estimation and you will get an idea how much it will cost you.
