Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Magento will blow that setup to bits in no time.

there is your problem 1MB up!

since your hosting most of your trafic is going to be outbound (sending page requests out). You have a bottleneck on how much data you can push back upto the cloud

I would suggest not going down this path.
Do you have a UPS?
Do you have a redundant Internet connection in case the primary goes offline
Do you have offite backups. In case your pc is compromised.
