I'm designing a system to help with load balancing during DOS attacks. I'm looking for a service similar to Amazon EC2 without instance limits or extremely high instance limits. Currently Amazon allows me 40 instances, I need in the realm of a thousand. Does anyone know of a provider that will allow this? I don't feel like signing up for 30 different providers only to strike out. Thanks.

AWS EC2 Alternative with high instance limit

Cloud computing, also known as on-demand computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing where shared resources and information are provided to computers and other devices. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers, relying on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale.

Cloud Computing

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Web Servers

Amazon Web Services (AWS), is a collection of remote computing services, also called web services, that make up a cloud-computing platform  operated from 11 geographical regions across the world.
