We host on EC2. I think it beats anything else for dev+test environments (since you can create and tear down instances very easily and pretty quickly, thanks to the various projects out there that let you do this --see [1]).
For production, my impression is that it's more expensive than some other options, but that's not based on any empirical evidence. If you need to be able to scale up and down quickly, then it can't be beat (right now you have to roll your own auto-scaling, but Amazon has announced intentions to provide this as a service [2]) . But if your configuration is going to be largely static, I suspect you'll do better pricewise with another vendor. dwh [1] We use http://github.com/pauldowman/ec2onrails [2] http://aws.amazon.com/contact-us/new-features-for-amazon-ec2/ Richard Aday wrote: > What do people think about hosting it on EC2 (Amazon Cloud)?
