HI I am looking for an image hosting cdn with custom domain (http://images.example.com/demoimages1.jpg) and unlimited traffic.
The problem with Amazon S3, Rackspace etc is that: they are pay as you go and thats quite expensive when your site grows bigger.
Does anyone know such image hosting cdn?
If there is none, I am considering using a VPS. Who can recommend a VPS with small storage space but large traffic. Thanks a lot!
Most of the CDN hosting providers will charge you "Pay-AS-You-Go" model. CDN is a business purely based on traffic (bandwidth). So, most of the hosting providers are offering "Pay-AS-You-Go" model. You can try out dediserve.com - I am using them for one of my website and they are charging you a fix amount per Edge location per month.
Regarding VPS recommendations, what is your traffic requirement. You can easily find a decent VPS provider offering 100 to 200 GIG of Bandwidth for $15 to $20 per Month.

I'm trying to deploy my Laravel app to AWS server and I got two options:
ECS services which allow me to use docker to manage the number of services I need (Ram, CPU ..etc)
AWS eCommerce Platform to set monthly plan services (static number of Ram, CPU, and storage according to the plan)
So which one should I use for my e-commerce platform? comparing should contain:
performance: which one is better to deal with API requests (I heard docker slows down the processing)
price: is it safer to choose a monthly plan instead of cost by view or resources?
security: AWS offers more security options on the AWS e-commerce platform
The issue with managing your own instance is that you have to work out security aspects deeply especially if you are handling payments or credit card information. Considering e-commerce site this may be at the core of requirement. Personally i will go for a managed service rather than ECS, as you be spending a lot of time configuring and securing ECS.IN ECS case you have to buy a SSL certificate on top, plus penetration testing to make sure site is secure etc.
The managed platform is hopefully already PCI-DSS compliant and easy to configure.

I am currently hosting at hostgator using their dedicated server paying $219 monthly. One of my friend recommend transferring to Amazon ec2.
My question is, can amazon do the same thing as hostgator like serving unlimited domain?
Additionally, I have around 650 GB monthly bandwidth and I am using mostly Drupal and WordPress on my different websites. What is the equivalent of dedicated server from hostgator if I plan to transfer?
BTW, he told me that the medium that is priced around $165 per month is the best choice. Is this a good idea of transferring from hostgator to Amazone ec2?
Thank you
The short answer is... it all depends.
You'd need to check out Amazon's pricing calculator to see what kind of money you'd be looking to spend using data from your current server.
I would encourage you first to create a micro instance (which is free for a year), try it all out, get familiar with at least S3, EC2, EBS, RDS, and CloudFront from Amazon AWS, and then use the calculator to see if it's going to save you money in the long run. Being able to adjust your server speed is REALLY nice for optimizing pricing though...
Note: AWS can be a little overwhelming when you first get on it. There are a lot of three letter adjective services, but if you give it some time, you'll start to really appreciate it.
EC2 is tough for people who used cPanel. Unless you have a dedicated tech guy managing the site, you do not want to choose Ec2.
Its worth spending money for cPanel,(host gator like) than reading 100s of help forum post to troubleshoot your server issue.
Ec2 is great if you are a great techie and have enough time..

My portal will be mainly accessed in India and it involves uploading/viewing of images which means good data transfer will be involved.
If I host my portal on servers located in India; surely it will be faster to access the pages. But I want to personally use Amazon web services. Do we have option in Amazon so that we can host our tomcat server and save images on some servers located in India ; or at max. in Singapore so that access is fairly faster.
Amazon Web Services offers several AWS datacenter Regions for most of their Products & Services within their steadily expanding global infrastructure, amongst those the Asia Pacific (Singapore) Region (usually referred to as ap-southeast-1).
Furthermore they do offer even more so called edge locations for Amazon CloudFront, which is their Content delivery network (CDN) alike web service for content delivery.
You can see an overview of the current regions and edge locations on their Global Infrastructure map.
There is an API oriented Regions and Endpoints listing as well, see e.g. those for the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) (please note that not every region does necessarily support every single available product, especially beta offerings are usually available in us-east-1 only initially).
Consequently you should be fine using ap-southeast-1 for your use case, though as usual you might want to give it a try before settling on this, which is fairly easy to do by means of the AWS Free Usage Tier offering.

I was wondering if any of you know an Amazon version of cloud sites from rackspace. I know they have services similar to cloud servers and files but not this?
Basically, I'm looking for a scalable web server managed by them, *** but (this is what cloud sites can't do) I want to still be able to do things in the backend and install other apps etc.. (like my own server)?
thanks
Amazon does not offer any managed hosting services. What they provide is infrastructure-as-a-service, the barebones level services for building on top of. They offer no management services. This stuff is meant for low level developers / system administrators to build the higher level systems on, not your average web hosting customer.
Amazon's new Elastic Beanstalk offers something closer to Rackspace Cloud Sites, but is currently limited to Java sites.
I have a new Platform as a Service (SaaS) in the works to offer multiple languages/frameworks on top of AWS to the general public. Check it out...

Well, I know absolutely nothing about the subject, so I really need help.
I currently have a website running on google app-engine (Java) and I can't get it to what I want because of app engine's limitations (no full text search mainly). The traffic is low, never reached 15% of the free quota (around 1500 daily pageviews).
I also have 3 sites in drupal hosted in a shared hosting service, and this is giving me problems, because the server speed is awful. The sites are VERY low trafic, but load times are bad, and I might need to add more sites for some clients, so this will only get worse.
So, i'm planning to move all that to VPS. The question is, can I have 2 http servers running in the same VPS? because I will need Apache-php-drupal server and a java server (tomcat?).
I have really no idea on this, so any tip will be very helpful to me.
Thanks!
Yes you can. Your httpd and tomcat will be running on different ports on the same server
Some of the choices you have are
Forward a virtual directory of your httpd to the tomcat server (if you use one domain name)
Use URL based rules to forward the requests from the java app domain to the tomcat server
