is hosting counter strike (1.6 or source) possible using amazon s3? Amazon would certainly be the cheapest in terms of GB usage and transfer, but I'm still not sure if it is possible. Anyone have any knowledge on this subject?

thanks

No since S3 is just storage (I think, I've never used it). To run Counterstrike you'd need a dedicated server.

i looked into it a bit more, and i think amazon EC2 is what i might be looking for
