If you tire to use the free for one year EC2 Instance t1.micro and need more oomph then:

Amazon EC2 recently launched an instance type that offers:

- Two Intel E5-2670 processors running at 2.6 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost and NUMA support (16 cores). - 244 GiB of RAM. - Two 120 GB SSD for instance storage. - 10 Gigabit networking with support for Cluster Placement Groups. - HVM virtualization only. - EBS backed

So if you have one of those problems that require lots of ram and lots of i/o (disk and network). Then this is the box for you.. Total cost is ~ 3.5 USD/hour

If you are into distributed programming, have a look at SWF http://aws.amazon.com/swf
