There are lots of factor involves in getting the final cost.
Internal users will require a CAL which is about $100 per user.A forecast of the number of users will be used for Capacity planning for your SharePoint farm. Each server will require a server license. So the number of users may increase the cost of the server licensing.
Each server will require a SharePoint server license. These are typically one-time licenses that cost around $7,000 per server. You will not need a SharePoint license for the server running SQL server.
If you are planning a project or solution that uses SharePoint 2013 Enterprise features, additional Enterprise CALs will be needed for users leveraging them. This increases the one-time cost for internal users by about 90% per user.

If you choose SharePoint Foundation then you’re done. You pay $0 for the server license and $0 for an infinite number of users.
If you Choose SharePoint Server then you have to ask how many servers do you need in your farm. One server is the least you can choose, but if you want to scale better and get better performance (maybe for production environments) then you’ll need more than one.
If you need 4 servers then the total will be: 4 * $5,000 = $20,000.00
Atop of this cost is the cost of the user licenses. If you have 100 Enterprise users (meaning 100 users accessing the SharePoint Enterprise Edition), then the total for those CALs is: 100 * $180 = 18,000.00

If you're building a simple website, do NOT use SharePoint.
The reason being, SharePoint is a vast, complex platform with many features aimed at collaboration. versioning and distribution of content, as well as managing content workflow, and requires a significant, performant and expensive infrastructure to be able to run the simplest of environments.
Unless you have a very large team of authors whose work requires approval, and publishing across many websites in many languages in your company, I strongly suggest against using SharePoint to publish a website.
To answer your query about pricing and availability - SharePoint Foundation 2010 is available from the Microsoft Website, and the licensing comes with your Windows Server licences.
SharePoint Server 2010 has a separate licensing model and you will need one CAL per user who will access this, or an Internet Connector licence which can be very, very costly.
In addition to the licensing costs, you will need staff and time to maintain the hardware infrastructure on which your SharePoint environment runs, as well as maintenance of the software environment itself, and development/consultancy/training for installing, configuring and building the environment to your specifications.
James LoveJames LoveIf you decide to go with SharePoint and your site does not need to access other applications/data on your network, then I would suggest going with a hosted solution. There are multiple companies that provide SharePoint hosting. One that I've used a few times is FPWEB. They have a free trial available so it would be worth taking SharePoint for a spin to see if it is right for you. With a hosted account, you do not need to worry about the user licenses -- you just pay a flat monthly fee.
