Something doesn’t make sense here. Say, you’re a business, and want to set up your own e-commerce site. Whether it makes money immediately or not, is not a concern, as the business will pay for it, and absorb the initial loss. And the development costs to build the site are already in the $50,000+ range. So with all this upfront expense, why don’t the business just go with EC2? Unless this is for some silly hobby website of yours, that you have no clue will make any money or not. Then in this case, maybe your suggestion is valid.
