A simplified S3 pricing page

It's not granular enough for small scale/personal use. If someone were considering using S3 for a small project, or even just personal backup, this wouldn't really help them.

The sliders should offer some way to get more granularity. Maybe scale the sliders the higher they go, or have a separate option to select the scale you want to work on.

let me know if folks have any problems / would like any additional features

Feedback to (imho) improve: 1. Mirror the top (prices) and bottom (description) 2. Add + sign between columns, = before last

I was thinking the same thing. I've just started using S3 on a rails project for learning purposes and (I think) it's free for the amount of data I'm using.

edit: props on the good work though!

The sliders should be on a log scale to accommodate both small and large users.

Can you open source the code? I can use it.

Good point - I thought about this a bit and figured I could take one of a couple of approaches 1) log scale (probably a bit confusing / harder to implement) 2) a switch between personal and business (could do similar switches for other settings like region

thoughts?

Azure has had this pricing scale for a long time.
