Another comparison between AWS and VPS hosting. AWS is a Lego with many pieces, if you just use one piece (EC2) you may be better off with the cheaper alternatives.

This isn't even comparing AWS and other VPS, it's comparing EC2 with a dedicated server.

But actually from what I've seen in the wild, a lot of people just use EC2 without the rest of AWS for just general server hosting, so it's a useful reminder not to do this unless you don't care about the bottom line. (And who doesn't?)
