If you are talking about amazon ec2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) I havent heard to much about it. I do know that one site I look at that makes youtube videos into a timeline switched over to ec2 not to long ago. I have to say you can clearly see the traffic drop off since they switched and sometimes the site doesnt respond to what you are trying to do. I don't know if its their code or if its ec2 but since they have switched the site for sure doesnt work like it us to. I know it did look like ec2 bandwidth was cheaper than what a true dedicated box on a private line would be. I know gentoo-wiki [dot] com was thinking about switching to them but they didnt. I'm sure if no one here responds with info on ec2 you could hop on his site and ask him why he didnt move to them. What are you needing to have done on a vps box? If you are going to use cpanel it should take care of everything else you will need. You can resale on vps but clearly they wont support near as much as a dedicated server. Just keep in mind dont rush to grabbing cheap stuff or you will end up with a cheap services that isnt worth anything.
Amazon is used by major web services, that supports huge load.... I heard lot about that..There is an operating system and separate storage system. We have to connect them in our own...Using ubuntu server... anybody knows the info ?
