Overview:
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.

Features:
Amazon EC2 provides a number of powerful features for building scalable, failure resilient, enterprise class applications, including: Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) offers persistent storage for Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon EC2 provides the ability to place instances in multiple locations, Elastic IP addresses are static IP addresses designed for dynamic cloud computing,

Easy To Use:
To use Amazon EC2, you simply:

  • Select a pre-configured, templated image to get up and running immediately. Or create an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) containing your applications, libraries, data, and associated configuration settings.
  • Configure security and network access on your Amazon EC2 instance.
  • Choose which instance type(s) and operating system you want, then start, terminate, and monitor as many instances of your AMI as needed, using the web service APIs or the variety of management tools provided.
  • Determine whether you want to run in multiple locations, utilize static IP endpoints, or attach persistent block storage to your instances.
  • Pay only for the resources that you actually consume, like instance-hours or data transfer.

Summary:
Amazon EC2’s simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon’s proven computing environment. Amazon EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements change. Amazon EC2 changes the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for capacity that you actually use. Amazon EC2 provides developers the tools to build failure resilient applications and isolate themselves from common failure scenarios.

Go Daddy cloud hosting require patience at times.  For instance, expect long waiting times for requests (such as the installing applications or setting up databases) made on your hosting account.  Many users might have an issue with this flaw because their visitors demand new and fresh content without having to wait for it.  This wait time is understandable though.  When your service is as popular as the one Go Daddy offers, your servers are going to get overloaded every so often.  It’s inevitable.  They should get more powerful servers to eliminate these delays.  Luckily, Go Daddy’s popularity has remained consistent over the years, which means they’re a solid option in the web hosting world.
