EC2 is not suitable for most Web applications:

- You don't get a static IP address, so if your instance fails and needs to reboot, you might end up with a different IP address.

- If your instance fails, it also loses all the data stored in it.

- There is no hardware load balancing.

With that said, you can probably use it to complement your other servers by doing some of the batch processing.
