Amazon Web Service is a very secure, reliable, flexible cloud provider. It is a one-stop solution for all your IT needs.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
We have used Amazon Web Services for the web hosting of www.inuua.net for many 3 years now. All our data gets backed on Amazon Web Services and all Static files are hosted using S3. Amazon Web Services seems to be quite dynamic in its functionality. You have so many plans to choose from. The best part is that you only pay for what you use.

Migrating from DigitalOcean to AWS was somewhat complex and we had to undergo some training to manage to do it.
