[Dxspider-support] AWS hosting pricing

[Dirk Koopman]

I have not tried AWS for several years. But when I found that DXSpider 
did not run very well (neither did it run well on Google's equivalent). 
As far as I can tell this was due to the large number of (small) disk 
transfers. If you are intending to try this out and you expect a large 
no of users, then you need to test it thoroughly - loading it as best 
you can. With a lot of users you will probably need at least 2GB RAM. 
This is necessary to provide some headroom for the asynchronous 
processes that, for example sh/dx uses. But you only need one processor. 
  And 30GB disk is plenty.
