Your math is wrong on all levels. Let me take this to the extreme: at 100TB.com you get 100TB of transfer for $201,15, which according to your math equals to $0.002 per GB plus free dedicated server. However, if you don't use 100TB, but only 10GB (which is quite enough for most of the websites) then using Amazon S3 you would pay $1,50... And even if you would use 1TB (which is quite a lot) then you would pay $150 for the S3... ...in the end $0.15 turns out cheaper than $0.002 most of the time ;)

Nice to know about 100TB.com. As I said, the math makes sense if your app is a data transfer hog (> 1TB/mo). As to Amazon, I suppose you meant EC2? (S3 is a data store). If you use 1TB at EC2 for $0.15/GB, that's $150 for data transfer only, on top of the instance usage price. At Linode, if you use that 1TB, you pay less for that transfer ($100), and you get a free instance. How's this so "wrong on all levels"?
