I found it interesting that Amazon took the number-one place in our survey this year for Linux-Friendly Web Hosting Company. Don't get me wrong, Amazon is definitely Linux-friendly, but I've never considered it a standard Web hosting company. Still, with the incredible array of Web- and cloud-based tools available, I guess it makes sense it would take the gold medal. And really, if you haven't used Amazon's services, you should!
