Not really actually, I just mean having a discrete server that can be "seized" is not a particularly robust solution.

... and what do you think an Amazon slice is? It sits on a physical machine that can be identified, located, and handed over by Amazon given a lawful request, all without the site operators knowing.

You think they give a fuck about the other 4 slices on your server? No. They don't. In fact it says so right in their SLA.

I used the word ROBUST

If you are trying to defy the FBI, and 100% of your site architecture resides within Amazon's infrastructure you are not robust.
