I have loved hosting this blog with Dreamhost…I love hosting anything on Dreamhost. Honestly, it’s too easy not to love! But with Amazon’s new free tier of EC2, S3, and a slew of other products, I couldn’t let the opportunity pass me by without using the crap out of it!
I’m moving to EC2, and here’s why:
- It’s fast – like way fast
- I have FULL control and root access
- It’s free
- …did I mention fast?
- Seamless integration with S3
I’ve wanted dedicated hosting for a while, and while this isn’t totally dedicated (at least by definition it’s not), it’s darn close and the price is unbeatable.
I was going to hold off a little longer before announcing anything, but I’m too freaking excited not to say anything!
I’ll post some pros and cons once the move is all done!
If you have any questions about the process, don’t hesitate to ask!
you should do a guest post detailing how you did this and why. that would be awesome!
Would love to!
So you are hosting on EC2 for.. free? mmm I need to know how you are doing that
