For me its scaling up, without much work. Starting up I start up with a
small EC2 instance, about 35$/month plus few dollars in bandwidth & I/O
charges, similar to an entry level linode or synapseglobal vps.

But migrating to a higher instance, medium instance around 175$ & so on.
Snapshop backups are so easy in amazon, that I would not have setup &
installation headaches again....simply save the instance to EBS & boot up in
a medium or large instance......or so I think ;-)

Many times I do tend to go on without understanding....so seeking third
party confirmation before I embark ;-)
