Intrigued by suggestions that some folks have made here, I've been reading through some of the EC2 documentation. Like Rob suggested, with virtualization, it's easy to believe that there would be random incompatibilities with software that has mostly been run on real hardware. However, there is one serious drawback of EC2 that is right there in their policies: You can only have one IP address per virtual machine, which means every new SSL vhost with its own certificate needs a new instance. Instances cost at least $30/mo., and Amazon requires you to file a special request to be granted permission to create more than 20 instances. Who knows what their policies are for deciding when to grant requests; we'd really be at their mercy on this one.
