Amazon Aws Service and The Future of Startups

Amazon Aws, gives startups oppurtunity to host their files with incredibly cheap prices. Amazon S3 is storage for the Internet. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers. Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.

Amazon Functionality

Amazon S3 is intentionally built with a minimal feature set.

Write, read, and delete objects containing from 1 byte to 5 gigabytes of data each. The number of objects you can store is unlimited.
Each object is stored in a bucket and retrieved via a unique, developer-assigned key.
A bucket can be located in the United States or in Europe. All objects within the bucket will be stored in the bucket’s location, but the objects can be accessed from anywhere.
Authentication mechanisms are provided to ensure that data is kept secure from unauthorized access. Objects can be made private or public, and rights can be granted to specific users.
Uses standards-based REST and SOAP interfaces designed to work with any Internet-development toolkit.
Built to be flexible so that protocol or functional layers can easily be added. Default download protocol is HTTP. A BitTorrent(TM) protocol interface is provided to lower costs for high-scale distribution. Additional interfaces will be added in the future.
Reliability backed with the Amazon S3 Service Level Agreement

Pricing

Pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee. Estimate your monthly bill using the AWS Simple Monthly Calculator.

We charge less where our costs are less, thus some prices vary across geographic regions and are based on the location of the bucket.

United States

Data Transfer

$0.170 per GB - first 10 TB / month data transfer out
$0.130 per GB - next 40 TB / month data transfer out
$0.110 per GB - next 100 TB / month data transfer out
$0.100 per GB - data transfer out / month over 150 TB

Requests

$0.012 per 10,000 GET and all other requests*
* No charge for delete requests

Data transfer “in” and “out” refers to transfer into and out of Amazon S3. Data transferred between Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3, is free of charge (i.e., $0.00 per GB), except data transferred between Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3-Europe, which will be charged at regular rates.

Storage and bandwidth size includes all file overhead

Probably the most exciting product of Amazon Aws; Amazon SimpleDB Lİmited Beta

Amazon SimpleDB is a web service for running queries on structured data in real time. This service works in close conjunction with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), collectively providing the ability to store, process and query data sets in the cloud. These services are designed to make web-scale computing easier and more cost-effective for developers.

Traditionally, this type of functionality has been accomplished with a clustered relational database that requires a sizable upfront investment, brings more complexity than is typically needed, and often requires a DBA to maintain and administer. In contrast, Amazon SimpleDB is easy to use and provides the core functionality of a database - real-time lookup and simple querying of structured data - without the operational complexity. Amazon SimpleDB requires no schema, automatically indexes your data and provides a simple API for storage and access. This eliminates the administrative burden of data modeling, index maintenance, and performance tuning. Developers gain access to this functionality within Amazon’s proven computing environment, are able to scale instantly, and pay only for what they use.

What Can Change for Startups?

1-) Budgets are already low when compared to other industrials, (don’t mind million dollars of acquisitions.
2-) If these services will be WorldWide, you don’t have to war against varied hosting providers, you don’t have to spend 2 hours a day on provider’s live support chat.
3-) It will be easier and cheaper to run High traffic service web sites will be easier and cheaper
4-) Everwhere will be full of startups. But that’s not a problem. Everytime there is a place for new comer.
5-) You’ll able to focuse just on your service.
6-) Your source code probably will be more safer

But as aftnews, we’ll touch another point soon. We’ll start a campaign.

What Kind of Web Traffic Can Make You Rich?

According to my experiences from too many sites and blogs;

1-) Direct Visitors: if your blog/site do not have direct visitors, probably you won’t able to make money in long term. You won’t able to generate private ad-sales, you won’t able to see high page views.

2-) Search Engine Traffic: Search engine traffic is the second most important web traffic type. Your search engine (organic) traffic referrals will be mostly Google, Sites using Google and Yahoo. Search engines will bring you visitors related to your content and ads.

3-) Refferring Site Related to your Content: Blogrolls, link exchanges probably won’t help you to have a better ranking in search engines in 2008’s but i can be a great source of quality traffic for you.

4-) Social Media Traffic: Social media traffic (traffic coming from digg,reddit,stumble like sites) won’t help you to make money in short term. But it will help you to improve your web site’s worth and rankings. Also social media is the most effective (if you don’t have budget) marketing oppurtunity for you content.

So, if you have at least 10.000 visitors from social media sites, don’t give up this business, you need direct traffic and search engine traffic to make money online. Making money online is not impossible but it’s not the easiest way of making money too.

Concentrate on having direct visitors. It’s hard but it’s fun. Think about the people writing your domain name to the address bar from all over the World.
