I actually think its not cheap, its a trade-off between convenience and
cost and Amazon are very smart about choosing their product / service

in other words, there is still lots of hosting outside of Amazon i.e.
Rackspace, Linode ... all the way down to micro hoster resellers

Ubuntu for instance is doing a lot to make private and hybrid cloud
infrastructure super easy to use and once you've got the machines
(including commodity boxes) and a windmill you're TCO approaches zero
