I've never contemplated the cost of a DDos attack, I guess there's the upfront setup costs to secure the software and hardware that will execute the attack but are you speaking more about the costs on the day of the attack? Are those costs trivial, like the marginal costs I suppose it would be?

To be effective, you need to either be prepared to hide behind google, Cloudflare or AWS, OR you need some pretty expensive deal with you (large) ISP who can (quickly) filter on their edge. Sitting at the end of whatever network, you will not be able to do anything against a sufficient volume attack.
