Huh. ec2 instances are not backed up unless you write scripts to back them up to SOMEWHERE. They are not salable unless you actually make them scalable (mysql replication, load balancing). It isn't the "cloud" like you think it is. Also ec2 or ec2 clones are over priced for a single wiki. <a href="http://www.lowendbox.com">www.lowendbox.com</a> for significantly cheaper VPS servers (that is really all ec2 is by itself). Also, I don't charge for hosting sites. At all. You should really take a look at the hosting options out there and evaluate them first hand before deciding for or against ec2 or really any other option there. <br>
