Massimo, When I tried EC2 it was very time-consuming and the backups were difficult and I was just wasting time.
In the end I saved my sanity with vps.net which (for $20 per month) takes your Ubuntu script about 5 mins to set up. There's a really good backup service available by ticking a box for $5 per month extra. IMO it's a no-brainer. And, as there's 256MB you'll be able to run 6 instances of Web2py (if the 40Mb in the other thread is right)! I'm sure other vps providers are also excellent, I just chose that one because they offer Europe as well as US and it's a good service. Give yourself a break and leave the EC2 infrastructure for the global mega-corporations! --David On Feb 12, 4:47 pm, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > I am not suing any of the advanced features like load balancing.
