Do you have a traffic estimate? Services like netlify.com are fairly
cheap: they offer a terrabyte/month for $40/month.

The main issue looks to me as if figuring out how much of a site like
wwwjdic could actually be run from static CDN servers. I'd bet that the
common queries could mostly come from cached data served from a CDN,
though, with some clever programming.

I'd love to sit down with you for a chat (online or off, if you happen
to be in Tokyo at some point) about this some time. This list is
probably not the best place to get in to a detailed discussion of your
site, though. Mail me privately if you want to chat at some point. (As
should anybody else who has a site that they're interested in doing this
with, though of course if you're asking me to do commercial work you
should expect to get charged at some point.)
