Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the point of how some people use or recommend using EC2. If the point is to have a website up and available 24/7, isn't that requiring a 24/7 CPU from EC2? When I've run EC2 instances, I'm charged whether any traffic comes in or not (and *also* charged for the traffic when it happens).
