I would allow upto 2.5 dollar per month max. Reason why is that i believe having a VPS or something where i can use the server resources also for hosting makes more sense to me.
So 2.5 dollar is a good price.

a datacenter with multiple nodes running... seems like a sybil attack
if your going to rely on a third party service to host a node.. you might aswell just use blockchain.info wallets as once you brush away the buzzwords and glossy concepts.. the fundementals are all the same.
infact apart from having the wallet file on (hopefully) separate hard drives.. the data is all the same so no need to have 100 copies of a blockchain in one data center. just need separate wallets

Not really.
If I want to run a node to support the network, then using blockchain.info isn't going to accomplish that at all. And if my intentions are to support rather than attack the network, whats the problem with hiring a data center to do it? I don't really necessarily feel like complicating my home office with running a bitcoin node.
So you think running multiple full nodes on a single computer increases the network security?
No just no.
I would prefer a how should we pay people who run full nodes post although as for how much, anywhere around $10 would be okay, depends on certain needs though such as bandwidth, capacity etc.

I'm paying 8 EUR a month to run a Classic node on a German VPS at the moment. It feels pretty reasonable to me, I get a ton of HDD and unlimited bandwidth.
I assume running a full node isn't the sole reason why you pay €8 for your VPS, right? So it basically doesn't cost you anything. I was running several full nodes but I stopped doing so as I didn't need the several VPS's that I had anymore, so I have let them expire. They were costing me €5 per server.
I don't understand why would you pay someone else to run a full node and don't just run it yourself for free?
Well, you 'd need to keep your computer on 24/7 and have comfortable bandwidth, so there's definitely a cost to run a node.
Full node doesnt need to be up 24/7, and if you set maximum 16 connections or so the bandwidth required is fine for home connection. At least this is how I run full node, only when my computer is on anyway, so it can be considered almost free. I look at full nodes like torrent, where peers just come on and off only when they are online and not running computers 24/7 as well. In future full nodes will not necessary have all historical blocks available for other peers to save storage space, making the torrent analogy obvious...

I chose $7.5.
Less than ten for sure. And that VPS could run Bitcoin and several less popular coin nodes.

$1 i think it's ok, since i can find vps for $1 dollar i don't see the reason to pay more for a full node
I wonder if $1 VPS is good enough to run full nodes?
Some has very low specification or don't give lot high bandwitch or quota.
bandwidth is https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/your-full-node-info-page-760094
this is 2 euro vps https://billing.internetovizija.com/cart?a=checkout

I have a VPS that I share with another person where I pay like $8 per month for. It's mostly being used as seed box but there is enough free space and bandwidth to run a full node.
Zero, because my PC & internet connection aren't good enough to run full nodes.
Also, there's no way i rent VPS just to run a full node, but i might rent VPS to run full nodes if i also use it for something else.

I would pay $5. But I would not pay anyone else to run my node. I would need to run it my self in order to be able to trust it.
If you find someone else that is willing to pay 5$ you could share admin rights to a cheap VPS and run a full node on it.
I think you should be rewarded for running a full node. ie. payments should be negative, but there is no option for this.
Zero.
Bitcoin shouldn't depend on anything. It should just be strong by itself.
Zero. If Bitcoin's survival depends on altruism then it's not doing something right.
I would pay more than $30 a month for a virtual server with enough bandwidth, disk and I/O to run a full node. However, I would only run and control it myself and not have anyone else manage it for me. I also won't bother if there were other nodes already running in the subnet or ASN.
I only run my own servers, I always use CentOS with some packages replaced by a custom yum repository I maintain (LibreSSL, Apache, PHP, etc.) - I don't do "managed" hosting.
I didn't get the impression the OP was asking for managed hosting, but maybe I mis-interpreted him.
