It's a nice problem to have. For my sites, the bandwidth cost is few bucks a month. I also use Amazon Cloudfront to host all the images so cost is minimal.

$58.40 a month

A bit on the costly side if you ask me.

edit: I don't think that price counts for bandwidth either.

Rackspace has never been a budget host. It's more for business clients.

• There is low budget hosting
• There is common / mid range hosting
  
• There is business hosting

And then there is just bleeding your wallet hosting.

If you feel like paying for $118.40 just for a VPS Cloud, when at that price you could get a small dedicated server ... I guess that's up to you.
