Well I get all that, but when thefacebook.com was starting up, did facebook.com have a site with a similar goal? Or was it something else entirely unrelated? I guess that's the crux of what I'm getting at here.

This is a good point. I was wondering about it, things have changed since I did web development back in the late 90's. Has caching changed much? When you say "screw up", is there any thing I should look to avoid doing? Maybe this is also a

OK, so if I understand you, the 20c/GB is not what you'd expect to pay for a site that does good volume and buys the bandwidth by the bulk, so to speak? Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but who provides cloud services with better
