When I joined my company the app I took over development for was hosted on Amazon EC2 at about $700/month (Windows 2008). The app wasn't even done yet and was being used by about 3 people, so I switched us over to shared hosting at about $60/month. The shared hosting is even providing us better throughput and the app is now noticably faster than when it was on Amazon; and I don't have to worry about the details of securing/maintaining a Windows server box. Not gigantic savings, but still $7600/year for basically no work at all isn't too bad.
