What exactly do you think "the cloud" is? Fundamentally, there isn't much of a different between AWS and Linode. Both are just virtual machines, but AWS attaches some fun buzzwords to them. If you want to run a virtual machine 24/7, you don't need virtual machines as powerful as AWS's minimum plans, and you don't have enough money to run them on AWS, why not do it on Linode (or Slicehost, Rackspace Cloud, etc. It's all the same.)
