Furthermore, SliceHost has a very easy management portal whereas right now EC2 is mostly controllable through a REST web service only as I understand it. SliceHost also has quite a few articles for Rails hosting and there is an established community around it. I will probably keep an eye on EC2 though - I think the concept of dynamic computing power like what EC2 is bringing to the surface is a powerful and long-lasting idea -- making more economical use of computing power.
