He gives his server specs and his cloud provider, he pays most likely a bit less than $100 per server per month: https://www.digitalocean.com/products/droplets https://www.digitalocean.com/products/droplets Which is absolutely insane for a website that serves 200 visitors per hour.

Just to be clear are you saying the costs are HIGH or LOW? That cost seems high given his relatively low traffic count but I don't know what sort of processing is going on in the background.

  High. Although the assumption here is that there are no spikes… which might or might not be true, but for a web-app, 200 visits per hour is not much.

8c/16g seems absolutely bonkers for an web/app server. I could understand if there was also a data & caching layer shoved onto the same box, but that's a LOT of memory for a python app. That's more inline with "mystery meat ASP.NET app built by some a couple guys in Slovenia 12 years ago".

FastComments is on track to serve 1 billion pages loads next year and we spend less than $500/mo for US and EU deployments combined (+about 15m uniques a month and each user gets a live websocket connection).
