Hi Shamil

Yes, Stuart is right. I checked this at our own ultra-reliable hosting provider:

http://en.unoeuro.com/products.php

and the cost for unlimited MySQL storage is exactly EUR 1 pr. month.
For 1 more plus 5 x 1 for 5 x 200 MB storage, a total of EUR 7 pr. month, you can have a 1 GB SQL Server 2012 database at your service. Of course, this is shared - you don't have your own SQL Server, only a database. Creation cost would be EUR 12 + 15.

Or just a domain hosting plan with MySQL Server through any number of domain hosting 
organisations.

50 million reads a month is only about one per minute.  You can get any number of hosting 
plans for that sort of space and traffic for around $10 or less a month.
