Uptime Monitor: Local health checks with alerts when the site or database becomes unresponsive.
Security Hardening: File permission lockdown, XML-RPC disabled, admin path protection, and firewall rules applied on first boot.

You pay by the hour for this WordPress on Ubuntu 20 image, with the software running on an AWS EC2 instance. The many options are not tiers or feature packages. Instead, each one maps to a specific EC2 instance type. Your hourly rate depends on the instance you pick. General-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage, and accelerated computing families are all listed. Larger instances carry more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware and cost more per hour. Smaller instances cost less. Charges accrue only while an instance runs, so total cost scales with size and runtime.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit represent for this WordPress image?
One unit is one running AWS EC2 instance of the type you select. You are billed per hour that instance runs. The rate reflects that instance's size and hardware. Running two instances bills two separate hourly charges. The image includes WordPress on Ubuntu 20 with a firewall and network protocols.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or paused?
Software charges accrue only while an instance runs. A stopped or paused instance does not add hourly software fees. Underlying AWS storage costs may still apply while the instance exists. To stop all charges, terminate the instance. Billing resumes each hour you start it again.
What drives the difference in hourly cost between the instance options?
The instance family and size drive cost. General-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage, and accelerated computing families are listed. Larger instances carry more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware and bill more per hour. Smaller instances bill less. You pick one instance type, and your total equals its hourly rate times hours run.
