I am not sure I understand the reason for a cloud solution.
Most of the time, it costs quite exactly the same and even more than a dedicated server.

There are probably good reasons to go for the cloud, but I think I am missing most of them;

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 ;-)
