Cloud upload bandwidth is free, but download bandwidth costs money. If you upload a lot of data but do not query it often, Amazon can make sense. You can also rent much cheaper hardware in other hosting services where you pay by the month or even by the year. If you know you have a cap on how much resource you will need at once, the cheaper sites make more sense.
