I understand, I thought quite a lot about the price too, and I’m actually sharing the hosting fees with some of my friends, so it’s not that bad ;)

Yes, this is way better than a vps at any hosting company around, although it’s pretty expensive. I’m renting a vps for $25 per month.

Umm.. Yeah, actually it took me two days to figure it all out. I mean the bundling and uploading AMIs to the S3 bucket and the other ec2 commands on linux. There are loads of tutorials out there though and the AWS forums are great.

Seems cool, K, but you have to know lots of stuff about linux before getting the hang of EC2, unlike shared hosting…
