6. Just like DU, which is hosted in computers

Called Servers, so is Amazon. The difference is that Amazon owns the computers, and Assange rented space in their servers.

That's the easiest way, as if he was renting an apartment.

Does that help?

8. Ok, it makes sense

to know that he rented space there. :thumbsup:

4. How does that happen?

Do you need assent from Amazon to do that? :shrug:

10. They rent out a store

basically. Your information (web content) and the resources required to present that information to the public are made available on Amazon's systems. Resources are shared and you get a bill based on what you use.

7. You can create a web server using your Amazon account

Search for "Amazon ec2" which is the Amazon Elastic Compute service.
