OT: Amazon S3 Servers for Data Storage?
does here have experience amazon s3 servers used media storage & distribution (like cdn)?
my dedicated server has 500gb more adequate hosting. need add 1tb of media files digital download site.
- i'm wondering if amazon fit use case.
- is amazon's pricing reasonable (can't make sense out of obtuse pricing calculator).
- and if surprises should ready for?
thanks,

update:
for considering amazon web servers:
- i highly recommend thoroughly reading aws documentation beforehand.
- you need comfortable working command-line prompt @ least portion of instance (server) set-up -- ssh connections, accessing locally stored keys, chmod, creating buckets, etc...
- the aws management console hub things takes getting used to. neither plesk nor c-panel type interface.
- important things know:
- aim (creating non-root users , generating access id , secret access keys)
- s3 (scaling, creating buckets, uploading files, setting permissions & meta-tags...)
- some familiarity cron jobs & json helpful not absolutely essential.
in summary, aws more advanced might used a commercial web host.
