I run a profitable business on Appengine, and strongly recommend it. As you mention, costs are low, but there are two other important aspects:
1) Google has more and better sysadmins running it than I could ever afford to hire, so I can sleep at night. Even when things go wrong (and they do occasionally) there isn't actually anything you can do except comfort your customers - all the high stress work is done by Googlers. 2) Scalability - if you hit the big time, you're listening to champagne corks popping, not servers. Python is the most productive language I've come across, and the only real downside is the learning curve associated with the datastore. It's a very different beast to a relational database, and will have you banging your head against the wall a lot until you learn how to work with it. Good luck!
