Re: scaling my site

I'd stay away from Amazon if like you said money is a concern.

Amazon web services are extremely overpriced. For the same amount of
money you'd be able to get much better performance by renting a
dedicated server or even a VPS.

Also if you're running databases then IO performance is critical. The
disk performance of S3 is poor.
