/**
 * Get the recurring cost of a single server or all servers on your account.
 *
 * Perform two operations:
 * 1) Get a list of servers on a SoftLayer account along with their recurring
 *    monthly costs. We can get that by calling getHardware() in the
 *    SoftLayer_Account API service with an object mask to retrieve cost.
 * 2) Get the cost for a single server by calling getCost() in the
 *    SoftLayer_Hardware_Server service.
 *
 * See below for more details.
 *
 * This assumes the SoftLayer API PHP client
 * <http://github.com/softlayer/softlayer-api-php-client> is installed in the
 * directory '/SoftLayer' in this script's path and that you wish to use the
 * SOAP client instead of our XML-RPC client.

getCost method gives monthly cost of a hardware server? what if i want to get monthly cost of a server before ordering? How can I get monthy cost of individual product items like "Monthly cost of 32GB RAM"
