Hi Giles
Quick glimpse at our client stats, per annum:
Small museum, say 100k page views, 25K users
Biggish (sub-national) museum, say 1m page views, 250k users
Obviously a very different use case to what you're doing, but may give you
some indication.
As Matthew says, transfer isn't generally limited (well, not within museum
type realms of traffic, anyway...) - storage and memory are usually the
things that change price.
The Digital Ocean pricing page illustrates this pretty well:
https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/ - you'll find much the same at most
other hosts.
IMO if you're not confident being a server admin, don't self (as in
"hardware in your organisation") host. In fact, I'd say don't use Digital
Ocean direct either, instead grab a service that gives you a managed layer
over the top - something like CloudWays, ServerPilot, etc etc.
ta
Mike
