This seems a worthless reduction. I tried having my online dedicated box on ec2 for a while, cheapest server. Bill per month $120 USD. Yes that is mostly traffic. It was over 200 the month I decided, foolishly, to host a video on a blog. Doing exactly the same on a dedicated provider: 10$ per month. With more traffic than I did on ec2. Also, it's an (atom powered) dedicated machine. Performance is far better. 4G memory instead of 1G. Disk space : 1T (of the rotating kind though), but of course I can have ramdisk now for most of the stuff. Compared to 100G SSD for 10$ on AWS. But egress traffic, that's what's costing me. Downtime since switching : 0 (but I will agree that it's lower quality. Not 12x lower though).
