Interesting new shared-hosting feature: add guaranteed CPU and RAM to an existing plan (e.g. $15/m for 150MB/150MHz), scalable on-demand all the way up to 2300MB/2300MHz ($230). It's billed pro rata, so it should be possible to automatically adjust to handle load, making it essentially an entry-level competitor to EC2 and Accelerator.
