No, you pay for bandwidth on EC2 as well.

$80 for the instance running all month, then $0.20 per GB bandwidth.
Seems cheap until you realize that the current colo gives me 1TB/mo for
$50. The equivalent from Amazon would be $200. Do that for a few months
and hard drives look pretty cheap.

This cost doesn't include backup space yet either.

It's only Fedora as well. Nasty.

I like the idea. I'm not sold on the costs or the implementation yet,
particularly for something small-scale like zIWT.
