I don't have any real life experience yet, but I'm developing a system that will employ as many as ten separate WebDNA server instances to handle the high traffic during each one hour event. If I run ten EC2 instances for an hour, that's only ten hours of time at the higher Amazon rate ... and this turns out to be far cheaper than running ten VPS's no matter how cheap I get them. I think the thing to remember here is that for intermittent service Amazon is a HUGE bargain, not only in dramatically lower costs but also in terms of simplicity. But for 24/7 service EC2 typically costs more. Sincerely, Ken Grome Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
