title: Amazon S3: when/why
body: <p>So, I have a dedicated server. I host about dozen or so small sites.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a real benefit in using S3(or Mosso) for my image and static file hosting? My server has more than enough disk space, or am I completely missing the point of S3?</p>
  
  <p>I keep reading about how wonderful and cheap it is, and I ask myself "self, why aren't you using this" and the reply is always "why?"</p>
