True. Those are better if you want to grab a server and sit on it for a long time as a dedicated box at a data center. It's more like old school rack hosting but you don't have to actually screw with hardware. They'd be awful if you want elasticity, which I suppose is why "elastic" is in Amazon's name. Duh. :)

I have some stuff at Kimsufi (BHS data center). The performance and stability are really excellent but I'd have to wait for availability to add more, which sucks.
