I stumbled onto this hosting plan from amazon. Pay as you go, is scalable and load-shared. Very interesting:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=16427261

Pricing

* Pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee, and no start-up cost.
* $0.15 per GB-Month of storage used.
* $0.20 per GB of data transferred.

this could be good.

but
* $0.20 per GB of data transferred.
this can be scary. doesn't benefit those sites that consume high bandwidth. video and audio streams.

this looks interesting,

"A BitTorrent(TM) protocol interface is provided to lower costs for high-scale distribution."

i wonder how they're doing that.

i'm currently using yahoo but i sure miss being in control of my own server.

anyway just good for low (-100Gb) traffic sites.

also is there any limitation for CPU usage and specially for Maximum RAM allowed?

it is very important

Amazon Simple Storage Service is mainly for massive backup and file storage. Its not usable as webhosting at all.

i plan to launch a social networking site and plan to use amazon to store all user uploaded files like photos and video - since i dont want to pay for a dedicated server, this is a good option
