Try http://www.cloudorado.com - it takes one and tree year reservations if you choose longer subscription durations (expandable panel).

Amazing! I would like to see such experiment with "boot to browser" on real hardware.

This is not fully correct. It is correct that the CPU time has be been stolen, BUT nobody told that you will be the only one who will be getting a physical CPU. AWS gives you specific part of CPU and the one that is not committed to your server is seen as seal time. This is normal. Note that the seal time stays on virtually constant level. Even if your neighbor wasn't busy you would still not get additional CPU as AWS does not allow CPU bursting (using unused CPU) to other instance types than Micro, which I've read is actually running on second priority on otherwise unused CPU cycles.

This is true that they could push content. Though, there is a slight difference - a user subscribes or wants a given content. Obviously they want it to be created there, but it could help in transition of some users ... like me.

There are at least two tools which are very useful in such comparisons - http://www.cloudorado.com for pricing, and http://cloudharmony.com/ for benchmarks.

Everybody says AWS has so low margins. I don't really get it. There are really number of other providers who are much cheaper. Just see here - http://www.cloudorado.com/ . If AWS has so low margin, what margins have others?
