The awesome article "The Five Stages of Hosting" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3526767 from yesterday should be mentioned. I brought some price-point discussions in the comments. Some good rebuttals lower down regarding EC2's committed cost options.

I agree, in every calculation I make, cloud seems to be too expensive for me.
I agree. Been using Hetzner for over 2 years & loving it. Great value for money IF you know what you are doing.
