Very tempting on both cloud fronts, especially the free one. I am investigating what additional storage costs are as I have quite a bit of data (~0.5 TB) on my server that I would have to move so paying for the storage as well as the data move, unless they don't count the initial load in your network usage. I doubt the free hosting will allow me to stay free but pay for extra storage... we will see.
