Amazon might be the leader, but they are also very expensive compared to most of the competition.

Amazon works well for big corporations or governments that need surges of network capacities, especially as it is "elastic" without the need to buy and manage additional physical resources. For smaller businesses it is too expensive and they should simply use managed VPSs or even shared hosting. Netflix makes great use of AWS. But if you are some small eikaiwa, for example just get a shared account. AWS was designed for big business and government customers in mind.
