<p>What's the cost of running Bitcore on AWS or DigitalOcean? I know I'd need about 128gb of hardrive space, but I'm not sure how much the typical bandwidth costs would be, and how much RAM or cores I would need. </p>

<p>My goal is to create an API for looking up balances. Thanks for any advice!</p>

fire one up and let us know, you should probably test on a virtual machine and lookup rates on the service providers website based on what you found in your test environment!
