Really interesting comment. Thanks Mike. I'm using a VPS myself. Having said
that, I'm interested whether there is anyone is using Rails as intranet
webapp or non 24/7 site? Because IMHO that EC2 plan is only suitable if
you're not running 24/7 webapp. Otherwise I can not see what I'll be gaining
instead of just using VPS. It's a shame AppEngine is not available for Ruby
:-(. I really like how they only charge per bandwith that is used.

Kind Regards,
