Top 500,000 web sites were analyzed and 1,422 are hosted on Amazon’s EC2 service platform, according to data from Infibase, which constitutes about 0.28 percent of the total samples.

According to Infibase the trends are

• Total sites in Quantcast top 500k on Amazon EC2: 1,422 (0.28%)
• Breakdown per 100k groups:
  • 0-100k: 480 sites (0.48%)
  • 100k-200k: 294 sites (0.29%)
  • 200k-300k: 239 sites (0.24%)
  • 300k-400k: 219 sites (0.22%)
  • 400k-500k: 190 sites (0.19%)

The data offers fuel for cloud computing’s boosters, and its detractors as well. Although the economics of EC2 are perhaps more attractive for large-scale computing jobs than hosting web sites, the data suggests that a number of sites with meaningful traffic are using EC2 as their primary hosting provider.
