Glad to hear you've had positive experiences.
I have quite a bit of AWS experience for a contracting job I do on the side. I set up a big cloud of 12 instances with them last year. It all worked out very well for us, never had an issue at all. However, they charge a TON for bandwidth. Like, it's insane how much they charge, and sadly that's the norm for cloud hosting. We host images here and don't use that much (about 50GB/month on average), but that's enough to where it would cost me a lot more just hosting that on AWS.
Ramnode throws in 2TB just for having a VPS with them. I'm not about to pay $200 for the same bandwidth on AWS.
I might set up a test box and see how it goes. I can get two cores, 3TB of bandwidth, 60GB of SSD, and 2GB of RAM for $15, and they seem to have reasonable policies to go with it.
