And a comment about the 'real' 99.99% reliability. Most of the traffic will still need to be funnelled through your own host, so realistically, and correct me if I'm wrong, but any point in time where your host is down, the clients won't be able to access the data anyways. So you are back to square one. That is unless the api allows your clients to access the data directly with out your host? I doubt that you'd be able to do that though.  |
I am pretty sure that this is where EC2 comes in. It is basically the linux end of your site. So you start an EC2 instance, install linux, put up your site on S3 and pull the html files from there. So you won't any other hosting for anything. Right now, this is all a matter of finding people who have experience in setting these things up. In a few months mass migration could begin, and people drop their old hosting and move to amazon (they just lowered their prices).
here are some current tools for amazon:
Manage Your Membership · InfiniteBits :: Web and FTP access to Amazon S3 :: Online Data Backup :: FTP Server for Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) :: Amazon Web Services :: Transfer Files to S3 :: S3 Backup
