Would you recommend Amazon Web Services for a WordPress site or should I stick with using MediaTemple?

The answer is: it depends. How granular do you need to get with your WP install? If you need to govern every aspect of your install and maintenance from a console or "super user" perspective then it makes sense to take on a AWS. However, most WP users do just fine via the thorough management tools that WP provide and can work just fine on a host like MediaTemple (or others). You'll also need to consider costs. I think that even with a cheap mini instance and moderate transfer, AWS is going to run you $20 a month - most WP hosts are considerably less than this. In most cases, I'd say that you're better off staying with someone like MediaTemple rather than getting down & dirty with a WP server and install.
