Hi, Inspirel here.
First of all, thanks to Thomas for mentioning our AWS hosting offer.

Right. The software is already installed and we recognize that you might need to install more of it.

There are no other providers that offer AWS hosting. ;-)
The problem with AWS is that it is basically a natively compiled and long-running service and this is what makes it different from typical web hosting offers, which assume rarely executed scripts (PHP, Python, etc.). For this to happen the user gets not only a drive space, but also a regular shell account so that he can actually compile his server in the same environment where it will be executed. That's why we expect small number of users per machine, which makes cost considerations different than with PHP, where on a single machine you could put tens or even hundreds of users and give them rights only to upload their scrpts.
In other words, the AWS hosting offer is conceptually much closer to dedicated server offers and this is where the pricing should be compared.
