EC2 作为 Windows 的全职 VPS
我一直在使用 Amazon EC2 托管最近发布的网站，主要是为了在使用更专用的主机之前衡量流量需求等。我目前正在使用 Win2k8+SQL 的小型实例，每月支付大约 80 美元的服务费用。
现在该网站已经上线一个月了，我正在考虑更长期的 VPS 解决方案。然而，我对成本有点惊讶。我认为 EC2 和专用 VPS 之间没有显着的价格差异（对于类似级别的设备，通常相差 20 美元）。我也有点担心，因为这里发布的一些 VPS 推荐链接似乎不再起作用（即，我相信亚马逊明年仍将保留，但似乎并非所有 VPS 都是如此） 。
我的问题：
- 是否有人使用 EC2 来全职、专用托管 Windows 服务器，有什么理由不这样做？我特别指出，EC2 是一个按需、瞬态负载的云提供商，因此我对它作为专用提供商的适用性感到好奇。
- 是否有任何值得推荐、已投入使用一段时间并且确实比在 EC2 上运行具有成本优势的 Windows VPS？
I've been using Amazon EC2 for hosting a recently released website, mainly to gauge traffic demands etc. before committing to a more dedicated host. I'm currently using a small instance of Win2k8+SQL and paying about $80/month for the service.
Now that the site has been up for a month I am considering more long-term VPS solutions. However, I'm a bit surprised at costs. I don't see a significant price difference between EC2 and a dedicated VPS (usually a $20 difference for a similar level of equipment). I'm also a bit concerned, because some of the links posted here for VPS recommendations don't seem to work any more (ie. I'm confident Amazon will remain next year, but it seems that's not that case for all VPSes).
My questions:
- Does anyone use EC2 for full-time, dedicated hosting of a Windows server, and is there any reason not to do so? I'm specifically noting that EC2 is a cloud provider for on-demand, transient loads, hence my curiosity about its suitability as a dedicated provider.
- Are there any Windows VPSes that are recommended, have been in business for some time and do offer a cost benefit to just running on EC2?

我有多个 EC2 服务器运行商业生产网站，我对性价比和总体质量/稳定性非常满意。
我可能会寻找其他地方的主要原因是为了获得更好/更便宜的支持......
I have multiple EC2 servers running commercial production websites, and I'm very satisfied with the price/performance ratio and general quality/stability.
The main reason I might look elsewhere would be for better/cheaper support...
我相信从长远来看 EC2 会很昂贵。此外，令人有点惊讶的是，您找不到任何成本至少一半的 VPS 提供商。大多数位于 Google 搜索 对于类似的配置要便宜得多...
我使用 ZerOne Hosting 和他们的两个（入门）Windows VPS 计划为几个客户提供，并且非常满意。正常运行时间几乎是完美的（除了偶尔的维护），而且由于他们使用 SSD 进行存储，VPS 也非常快。他们还提供备份和按需恢复。使用它一次只是为了检查它是否确实有效，而且确实有效，他们将 VPS 恢复到了早期的备份，没有任何问题。当然，它不是云，因此您将缺少一些 EC2 功能，但另一方面，这就是 EC2 昂贵的原因......
I believe that EC2 will be expensive in the long run. Also, it's a bit surprising that you cannot find any VPS provider that is at least half the cost. Most in the first couple of pages in a Google search are much cheaper for a similar config...
I use ZerOne Hosting and two of their (starter) Windows VPS plans for a couple of clients and been very satisfied. Uptime is almost perfect (except from the occasional maintenance) and since they use SSD for storage the VPS is very fast too. They also provide backups and on demand restores. Used it once just to check if it's indeed working and it did, they restored the VPS to an earlier backup with no issues. Of course it's not a cloud so you'll be missing some EC2 features but on the other hand this is the reason EC2 is expensive...
存在一些问题，例如上次我检查您无法配置 RDNS。
另一个问题是，如果您开始不仅仅使用 EC2 服务，您的成本就会开始急剧上升。可以肯定的是，网站会希望使用 EC2、S3、可能是 RDS，也可能是 ABS。
There are issues, for instance last time I checked you couldn't configure RDNS.
The other problem is that if you start to make use of more than just the EC2 service your costs start to spiral. It is a fairly safe bet that a website will want to make use of EC2, S3, possibly RDS and also possibly ABS.
