We have like 30 websites with almost no traffic (<~10 visits / day) which are currently hosted on a dedicated server.
We are evaluating hosting on Amazon EC2 however I'm not sure how to do that properly.
One (micro) instance per website is too expensive
~10 websites on one instance (using apache virtual hosts) make auto scaling impossible (or at least difficult)
Or is cloud computing not suitable for such a usecase?

The only reason i would do this is to decrease costs.
If i were to do it, i would try all 10 on a micro instance and see how smoothly it runs, if its causing problems, move them to a small instance, that should be plenty to handle ~300visits/day (30websites * 10visits/day).
And with this few of requests, you shouldnt worry about auto-scalling at the moment.
If they get higher traffic you can get them there own small instance. (although it may be a bit of a pain to move a site, but its not the end of the world)
