http://neverssl.com serves a 2536 byte static web page to about 70 clients a second (that's under 2Mbps, including TCP/HTTP overhead). Costs $2,000 a year to host on AWS. That's insane. Source: http://neverssl.com/changes

EC2 would be much cheaper, since S3 charges per request.

Running DNS on EC2 would also eliminate the Route 53 per-request costs.

At this point most of the cost is keeping and batch analyzing over a year of access logs. Serving the site itself is pretty small, and the R53 queries are free when they are ALIASes to AWS things.
