A different opinion: Who wants to worry about OS/database

patches/upgrades, optimized database configuration, security, and then

be responsible for monitoring this environment as well?? There's no way

you're going to do a better job at these tasks than a team of

professionals focused 24x7 on these specific concerns ... all from a

best practice perspective. Your value-add is your application and

customer support - not haphazardly configuring and maintaining

infrastructure in your spare(?) time.

It is not as simple as hosting your db in a rack that someone else

maintains for you.

There is a fee for bits going in and coming out so it gets costly

depending

on the data you have and what you might be doing.

You might find that getting a rackspace virtual server or a GoDaddy

site

may be better for you compared to AWS. As an Amazon investor I want

more

people to get into AWS but in your case, it is probably a bad fit.
