I'm giving serious consideration to moving my sites out to AWS. To have a tiny instance running 24/7 will cost $105.

Setup

One tiny instance will run all the live sites, another tiny instance will be used for development. This will also host a Git server.

Comparison

Advantages

  • Faster (this is a big problem with D5)
  • Scalable (but do I really need this)
  • Isolated Dev environment (and stage if I ever need)
  • I can run whatever I want (like Git)

Disadvantages

  • Cost (though in reality, I'm already paying this much because of the stupid 'privacy' thing that got turned on'
  • Steep learning curve
  • I will have to transfer all my sites
  • There is a lot more room for me to screw up
