Traceroutes go from my Time Warner Cable Roadrunner internet connection to Level3 in Washington DC then end up somewhere on Amazon's network. 21 hops. Load seems to be okay on my computer. Here's a site that you can stress test the EC2 site with: http://loadimpact.com/ There's a free and paid version. I didn't run the free since it links to the righthand side.

Hey Fly. Here are some spoiler icons to replace the one here you don't like.

I'm curious:

How much bandwidth does this forum use every month? Is there a cost savings by moving this forum to EC2? Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Amazon charge per GB for storage space & per GB of outgoing bandwidth per month on their EC2 service?

Not really sure how much we use cause there is another site on this server with me and the cpanel bandwidth logging is shite. That said, there is a SIZABLE savings by moving us to EC2. With an EC2 'small' instance, you get 160GB of storage. And according to the calculator, its about $11/100GB of xfer.
