My next project will require streaming media which I need to host somewhere. I have a website (stormtapstudios.com) which I’ve paid for unlimited storage/bandwidth, but I’m positive for the amount I pay that bandwidth pipe can’t be all that wide. So I’m currently checking into things like Amazon’s S3 storage service to determine whether I can make it work economics-wise. Essentially what I need to do is estimate the amount of user my app will get by the average user, and then incorporate the bandwidth/storage costs of that use into the price of my app. This will be pretty tricky to do, if I guess wrong then I’ve got an app on the store that costs me money rather than makes me money! Not exactly my goal as a successful entrepreneur.
