If you went ahead, it would also have to be an SSL site..

It surely depends on the service such an add-on may give. Say it is perfect and never crashes, nor has any kind of problems, ever, then $100/yr is not cheap, but in relation to the effort.
The point is that high end servers have a cost which never is paid unless some tricks apply. For example, I was playing with the idea of using flickr and instagram for storing images, taking advantage of a paid account. Then, the service would handle the downloading and redirecting only. But still, a professional service is very costly both in time and hardware.
Personally I prefer a low-end solution and no or little costs, at the expense of sometimes not getting exactly what I want.
