I hadn’t heard of this company but their offering looks interesting. This got me thinking about cloud hosting and I decided it was time to actually try out <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/">Amazon’s AWS EC2</a>.This allows you to run a virtual server (or multiple servers) in the Amazon cloud, servers can be created and destroyed by a click of a button.</p>
