I don't think $16,000 a month is really that bad if you factor in what type of money a consistent 1 million reqs/sec would probably give you.
1m req/s is:
60 million+ reqs an hour
1.4 billion+ reqs a day
43 billion+ reqs a month
It would be a weird situation to be serving that much traffic but not being able to afford hosting.
It would be cool if someone could estimate the cost of what it would take to sustain 1m reqs/s with dedicated hardware or maybe an unmanaged VPS cluster.
