Web hosting

Since you're already using S3 for off-site backup, I'm curious whether you've considered it for static web hosting. I'm considering shifting the mp3 files for my piano improv blog to it. I haven't run the numbers yet, but it strikes me that S3 is hard to beat in terms of bandwidth and storage cost, not to mention it's slashdot-proof in case I ever get my 15 minutes of fame.

I've considered it for the same thing, but I haven't gotten around to looking into how it works yet. I'll definitely keep you posted once I do.

And here you have it: http://darshancomputing.s3.amazonaws.com/JosiahIsrael/JI.png.

After you create an account and set up your "bucket", you just set the read permission to true for everyone for the files you want publicly GET-able. The hardest part was figuring out where it lived. Turns out there are two ways of getting it: the one given above, which I prefer, or like this: http://s3.amazonaws.com/darshancomputing/JosiahIsrael/JI.png. That is, your bucket name can be the subdomain before 's3', or it can be the first part of the path after the top level domain. (Either way, the rest of the path is just the path to the file in your bucket.)

There are lots of ways to privately get your data in and out, I use (and would recommend for you) s3fs, the FUSE adapter.
