This is correct, there are a lot of different variables from a tech perspective but also from the owners personal preferences. Many pay site owners also like additional equipment to run their business such as deep storage and video encoding.
We have one pay site client that started with a $25 VPS. It did not take long for him to upgrade to a dedicated server though.
Determine what you have and want to build, then seek quotes. Keep in mind that you can always add on more power later.
