I have a dozen small sites that use around 10gb of bandwidth and 7gb of storage. The sites don't receive enough traffic to warrant a dedicated database server, but a small Amazon EC2 instance should cover it perfectly.

I'm not intimately familiar with all that Amazon has to offer, and could definitely use some advice in coming up with a cost efficient solution.

Does it make sense to use S3 to host all my static files?

What can I do to prevent data loss in case the instance is powered off?

Can I use EBS Volumes to store backups, or is it better to place the backups on S3?

I have never used. I suppose you need to lear more about that within the system you are in. That just recommended action. However I suppose that traditional hosting even if that is free can be found easy in use and at least you will be able to find out more information about that

You do not have any specific requirements and I think you will be fine with any shared web host
