That price is not usual. I guess you arrived at that price from upgrading the Ram x 4 and the disk x 2.

This is a big bone of contention for me: webhosters seem to think that site operators don't know hardware costs and thus charge extortionate 'monthly' costs for upgrades.

Find a webhoster with a straight upfront fee for upgrades or one who doesn't charge such high rates of upgrade.

Similar spec you gave above could be had for under £100 if you shop around or less with a bit more on the setup cost.
