I have a little dot com site, personal portfolio, running HTML w/ CSS right now. I’m thinking of eventually running something like node.js w/ a custom CMS. But I’m paying over $110 a year for hosting when I use about .5 gigs of bandwidth a month & just a few domains I don’t need.

Will EC2 with my own Server be cheaper on a micro instance? Not to mention nerdy 🙂

    It’s cheaper but, only by a little (except while your in the 1st year of trial service where some things are totally free). After the first year its $85 for a 3-yr micro instance (or $54 for 1/yr) with the following:

    613 MB memory
Up to 2 EC2 Compute Units (for short periodic bursts)
EBS storage only
32-bit or 64-bit platform
I/O Performance: Low
API name: t1.micro
