The awesome article "The Five Stages of Hosting" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3526767 from yesterday should be mentioned. I brought some price-point discussions in the comments. Some good rebuttals lower down regarding EC2's committed cost options. |

I agree. I've been on Google Apps for about five years now, and I routinely configure an apps account for almost all domains I buy. Never had any problems. Never having a "the e-mail is down" call while on vacation (or, really, anytime) is awesome.
I enjoyed "The Five Stages of Hosting" posted earlier (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3526767). In that metaphor, Google Apps is the large, modern and comfortable house in a central location with most amenities and virtually rent free - only downside is that the landlord won't let you knock down the walls, and there's no way a grand piano will fit through the front door.
