Amazon released a new service a while ago, in which they give you “computing power”. It’s a paid service.
It’s called Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and you can click the name to get there.

Joined with the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and the Amazon SQS, it forms an interesting platform for hosting (web services). I like it that you pay what you use (what you want to use), and at some pretty high figures (for processing, storage and sqs) i got to 17 bucks per month, which is less then i currently pay for hosting.
If i modify the offer a little, i get to 1370 dollars per month so … eeeh.

Amazon EC2 is still in beta version, but i hope i’ll be using it soon if i get the chance.
