Startups, go for it
We have used Amazon Web Services for the web hosting of www.getbeyondlimits.com for many years. All our data gets backed on Amazon Web Services. Amazon Web Services seems to be quite dynamic in its functionality. You have so many plans to choose from. The best part is that you only pay for what you use. Ideally, if more people visit your website, you pay more and that is good for business.
- Dynamic pricing
- Push load time is less
- Easy to use
- S3 can be made easier for use.
- The pricing, though dynamic, still gets high at times.
- At times, downtime happens as well.

- Good uptime.
- Easy to use new for a newbie.
- At times, there is lot of downtime when push happens.
- More facilities mean more money.
Our tech team was comfortable with Amazon Web Services and that is why we started with Amazon Web Services. In the meantime, we searched for other services like Amazon Web Services but it seems that facilities like Elastic Bean and the first year free made us stick to Amazon Web Services.
No
We wanted to set up a new Amazon Web Services account for a side project. For the same reason, someone from Amazon Web Services called us and explained all the features of Amazon Web Services. They even called according to our time and were very knowledgeable. They even suggested us the plan that can work best for us.

Cost effective web services
We are using AWS S3 and EC2 to host our customer's campaign website, public videos clips, content management system etc. S3 is really easy to setup and we don't need to put a lot of effort to maintain it; the bandwidth is virtually unlimited and it is very helpful for video download. The availability is great, so we don't need to worry about server or storage failure. Scale up the server in just a few clicks.
- S3 -> Virtually unlimited bandwidth, works well with Edge servers (CDN), super easy to setup
- E2C -> Again, easy to setup and maintain
- No datacenter in Hong Kong
- Weak in Enterprise services (SLA)

- Positive, save time, save initial hardware investment
- Azure
AWS is Good for startups or FMCG customer but for FSI customer, their relationship is weak, hard to convince our client move to AWS
Yes
Dedicated hosting and shared hosting, too much effort to operate. The cost is high, need to worry about security and bandwidth, heard to deal with datacenter operators, inflexible to scale up and scale out, network performance is slow compared to AWS, storage is limited and expensive to maintain. Frequent data center visit is required...

Price! AWS is very cost effective compare to both traditional co-location hosting and Microsoft Azure, As a digital agency we run and maintain our client's campaign website, with the subscription model it is more flexibility and financially less risk as we only need to paid for the traffic used and we can always charge back our client.
I will likely use Amazon web services, although Microsoft Azure is more mature right now, Amazon web service is still cheaper and easier to setup and operate for most of my clients. Both offer very good security but Microsoft has its edge as it has data center in Hong Kong.
No
Not sure why I need it, we had paid for the product already why we need to paid for their bugs
Yes
No, hard to content the right person
