    Hosting companies, get ready to lose a lot of customers!

    http://www.amazon.com/S3

    .20 per gig of data TRANSFER + unlimited fully redundant storage on amazons GLOBAL network (load balancing, locally served to your end user improves speed)

    1. No need for expensive storage arrays
    2. No need for maintenance / man power
    3. Pay as you go! No more wasting 100 bucks a month for something like a 1gb minimum

    http://www.amazon.com/E2

    1. Build a brand new server, or a 1000 new server images in 10 minutes via the web
    2. Pay ONLY for computing power
    3. Infinite capabilities


    This shit is going to ruin a lot of hosting companies and put a HUGE amount of power into the hands of developers... imagine being able to build a YouTube site that can scale overnight to meet any demand without the cost of hardware or man power

    CRAZY!

    if someone posted this already, fuck you i dont care this shit is awesome

      What the hell are you talking about?

      "Looking for something?
      We're sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site"

      Not that it would hurt hosting companies in adult, not even poke a little with a stick.

                        60 per mpbs doesnt sound that bad to me considering you dont need storage servers, your data is available on a top notch network, fully redundant, and served up almost akamai-ish to your global users

                                That is bullshit.Plus there is already many companies who offer per gigabyte expense.And they dont CHARGE per space only per bandwith so this is actualy much much expensive solution then any other.

                                      This is a huge deal and a great service for big sites. There is no whoopee doo to it. As the OP mentioned it allows anyone to scale flawlessly to any size without laying out tens of k's.

                                        Hello host.

                                        Our estimate, as you can see in BusinessWeek?s cover story, is that we?re saving $500K per year

                                            Would be a cool idea if they are cheap enough but it doesn't look too cheap right now.

                                              It is cheap enough considering what it is. If you can't see the benefits in what they offer you are looking at it the wrong way. How many people just here overpay for their hosting account because it is the only package offered? How many big ass companies have way more storage requirements than normal for the amount of b/w they use? This service definately has it's place and would save a lot of people a lot of money.

                                                I can count on one hand the number of adult companies that spend 1m+ / year
                                                for hosting.
                                                Let alone that this kind of services always fails because they're bulk,
                                                at the volumes they do they'll never be able to provide a good service apart
                                                from bandwidth and hardware.
                                                But this is not hosting is all about and this is why so many hosting companies
                                                exist. If hosting was as easy as issuing a press release nobody would survive
                                                except the ones with big money.

                                                  I was beta testing this for some time, and we are using one ec2 server and quite a few s3 buckets in our current system. Will it replace traditional hosting, no. Never. Not until you can get a dedicated ip, and amazon creates a better setup and management system for you ec2 machines.

                                                  What it does do is give someone a way to scale a new project quickly during testing.

I have a $100 / month server right now with a total of 16 gigs of data stored on it and a whopping 2 gigs / month in b/w being used. Now, you tell me how much I am going to have to pay to get a hosting account with you that is suitable for 16 gigs of data. Oh wait I see it on your site, only $150 for your cheapest dedicated since your pos virtual accounts hold the huge figures of 300 to 3000 MB for between $15.95 and $120.95. Now lets look at S3. Wow I need to spend $2.40 for the storage and $0.40 for the bandwidth. Even if you offered me a deal on your cheapest account to up the storage I'd still be paying multiple times over what S3 costs. As for them going down, do your damn research. They are leveraging their experience with website traffic to offer this service to anyone.

                                                        In summary, not only are you an idiot, you are an idiot with an agenda.
