AWS or dedicated server?
inovica: What exactly do you want to do - surely you need to ask that question before deciding which route to go (or at least let us know and we'll try to help).  We use AWS extensively for scaling up and down and it is AMAZING for this. We couldn't do what we now do without it - well, without a huge amount of investment anyway. It enables us to sell our products at a decent price point.  If you are just wanting to host websites then a dedicated server might be your thing.  How much bandwidth are you going to consume? Sometimes a dedicated account will give you a better deal for bandwidth.
