WOW. That's more like it!
I love TurnKey Linux. I really do. But after spending 3 hours last night trying to whip their WordPress appliance into shape, I gave up and expected to launch a fresh LAMP instance and install WordPress the hard way: by hand. Ugh.
Then I discovered Amimoto. The reviews looked good and I browsed the price list to see what they were charging on top of Amazon's EC2 charges - it was reasonable, I thought, so I decided to launch an m3.medium instance and see how it went.
I had trouble accessing the WordPress Setup page. I forgot to add a TCP (port 80) entry to the EC2 Security Group on AWS. Once I noticed that and added it, I was in. Seconds later, I was looking at a fresh, updated version of WordPress and checked out some new themes and noticed they downloaded in seconds. No SFTP issues. No super-cache permissions problems. Am I in HEAVEN? Thanks, Amimoto. You got me! :-)
