First off, The "average" PHP / MySQL shop will almost never be cheaper on amazon. Are you kidding me? The average php and mysql website has one server or less. You dont have 2, or 3.
I said multiple times that 1-3 server shops are irrelevant for this discussion. At that scale you can use anything and it simply doesn't matter either way.
Since you seem to have mild reading comprehension issues I will spell that out for you: Neither will a profitable business break a sweat over paying 500 more or less on hosting. Nor do many of the benefits of EC2 come into play at such a small scale.
So either throw out some stats and numbers or stop bullshitting people. There are enough people blindly drinking the cloud hosting koolaid without the fake facts.
I don't like your tone. I explained four possible use-cases in my last comment, I don't think I used "fake facts" anywhere. If you are immune to basic math then that's your problem, no need to get personal.
Its cheaper to have your own engineer and manage xx servers on colo then it is to have amazon.
I conclude that you simply have no idea what you're talking about, much less about the figures involved. Furthermore an EC2 instance apparently killed your pet dog at some point in the past, which now prevents you from any rational thought in that direction.
