Amazon's documentation is being somewhat vague with me ... if I host images on Amazon S3 do I pay for "Data Transfer Out" every time an image is loaded? Do I pay for a GET request on top of that?
S3 Pricing see Data Transfer fees (1GB free, $0.15/GB up to 10TB etc) and the per request fees. But an image perhaps you want it in a CDN like CloudFront, not in S3.
Yes, you do pay for bandwidth, even if somebody else downloads your content (through an anonymous request).

I want to start my own file storage/backup service like Dropbox, Skydrive, Box etc. I have 60000 customers. I want to give each customer 1GB free space (lifetime). That means I need 60TB of storage. I will increase space for more users time to time. I want my file backup service to be cloud based, redundancy. Can you please tell me how many servers & how powerful servers it's needed? Also, what equipment, accessories it's needed to make a powerful service? From where I can buy them with best price? Please tell me. Also, if you have other information regarding file backup/storage service, it will be helpful for me please. Also feel free to ask me :)
You can build your own service on top of Amazon's cloud infrastructure. See this: http://aws.amazon.com/backup-storage/

I've been developing a website on a Micro EC2 Instance. This morning, it stopped responding and when I went to the AWS console, it showed that there had been a spike in Networking Out.
I don't have any traffic to speak of yet and I'm not scrapping in an automated fashion.
Does this mean that someone found my site and DOS attacked me or something along those lines?
Thanks
One of Amazon's datacenters suffered an outage today and it is affecting several large companies.
Please check http://status.aws.amazon.com/ for more information. It's possible that you are being affected by this.

I wondered how big websites are handling thousands of visitors daily and how they handle with really big traffic.
I made research and discover that many of them are using Amazon Simple Storage Service, so they must have all pages ganerated as static html as it possible to storage only static files on the S3. Then also update of the website is not difficult (only replacing static files). Is it possible or I am wrong? Any other similar solutions?
Yahoo as a fantastic article about how to speed up websites and optimizing traffic.

The AWS Console won't let me delete a bucket it says is empty (and whose files I deleted using the console) because, when I click delete, it tells me the bucket isn't empty. I assume that this is because deleting the files didn't delete their earlier versions. Is this correct? If so, how can I clean out the bucket? This 2 cent charge on my credit card bill each month is getting annoying. =)
Via the AWS Forum: use Cloudberry, or BucketExplorer.

I'm using Amazon S3 for images and randomly images 404 when loading from Amazon S3?
Why? How can I fix this bug?
Thanks
You could enable access-logging and try to identify the failed requests in the logfiles.
You can enable access-log for a bucket in the AWS-Console. Select your bucket in the left column, then 'Actions' -> 'Properties' -> 'Logging'
Actually this is no bug.
S3 has been designed to only come close to a 0% error rate. Some requests will always fail.
Because of this you will need to implement a method on your side to try multiple times to load an image before you give up.
