EC2 – spot instances
1 week ago I mentioned that I had installed a blog for the 10th time, make it the 11th now., and I lost all blogs since then 
The reason? well I use a spot instance from EC2 for this machine, its a lot cheaper and I set the /hour maximum price to $0.12, same prices as a normal instance. I figured that none would buy a spot instance if the price would be higher than the regular fixed price .... I was wrong, the price went above 0.12 last night and at 02:00 my node went down and all information stored on the C: drive was lost. Of course I keep external drive in EC2 for all photo, backup, etc. However, I has not had the time to backup the MySQL database that power the wordpress instance.
NOTE TO SELF: set the maximum/hour price high ... now its at $0.20/hour. and BACKUP THE DATABASE YOU NUMPTY
better luck this time.
