AmazonS3 Prices lowered

4 replies
Just had a an e mail from AmazonS3 (which I use) and good news is the price for hosting has got even lower.
If you are looking for a quality hosting solution for your Videos I would recommend Amazon
Here is an extract of the e mail they have sent out

Dear Amazon S3 Customer,
We are excited to announce that we have reduced the Amazon S3 standard storage prices in all regions. With this price change, all Amazon S3 standard storage customers will see a reduction in their storage costs. For instance, if you store 50 TB of data on average, you'll see a 12% reduction in costs. If you store 500 TB of data on average, you'll see a 13.5% reduction in costs. The price reduction applies to all of your standard storage- both existing storage and all new storage you add. Here is a summary of price changes for the US Standard region:
   Old    New
First 1TB   $0.140 $0.125
Next 49TB  $0.125 $0.110
Next 450TB $0.110 $0.095
Next 500TB $0.095 $0.090
Next 4000TB $0.080 $0.080 (no change)
Over 5000TB $0.055 $0.055 (no change)

Cheers
Mark

    Hey Harry,

    The storage part is a very minor cost of running with S3 - it's really the data out that costs you - even more so if you use Amazon Cloudfront. Still, any reduction is better than nothing!

        Actually Pat - compared to other CDNs, and wholesale bandwidth prices (where you buy it direct) - it's not too cheap - but unless you are pushing Terabytes, you don't really notice the price difference.

        Personally, for some projects, I'd rather pay for the extra reliability of S3 and global reach - even though it's not a proper CDN like Amazon Cloudfront.

    That's pretty awesome. I actually got an email from them, and didn't even notice it was about this... Glad I found this post.
