cloud computing options?
rarestnews: Are you sure you REQUIRE a cloud? Phrase "Amazon is too expensive" suggests that it might be not the solution you're looking for.Maybe you could be a little more clear on what you need, because it's hard to imagine what are your requirements that fall in-between of "Google App engine is too limited" and "Amazon is too expensive"?Also the phrase "I'm not much of an admin" makes it all sound really confusing... Rarely the cloud is the solution for one person's needs. Typically something like dedicated server or vps should be the answer. VPSes can be 6$/m including server's control panel so that you dont have to be "an admin".
