Brute-Force Protection: Login attempt monitoring with progressive lockouts and IP auto-ban.
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 based on the EC2 instance type you run. The software itself carries an hourly rate, billed on top of standard AWS infrastructure charges. Each dimension maps to one instance size, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, storage, or accelerator capacity you choose. Smaller general-purpose types like t3.nano suit light workloads. Larger compute, memory, storage, and GPU families scale up for heavier demands. You are not locked into a term. Charges accrue only while an instance runs, and you can switch instance types by launching a different size.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly software rate cover, beyond the WordPress and Ubuntu install?
The rate covers the pre-configured image, which includes the operating system, WordPress, and a built-in firewall. Software updates and network protocols come with the image. Standard AWS infrastructure charges for the chosen instance apply separately on top of this software rate.
Am I charged the software rate when my instance is stopped?
The hourly software charge accrues only while an instance runs. Stopping the instance halts software charges. You may still pay underlying AWS storage fees for the attached disk while the instance sits stopped, but the software meter counts running time only.
Does the hourly rate change if I switch to a different instance type?
Yes. Each instance type maps to its own hourly rate, since pricing scales with compute, memory, storage, or accelerator capacity. To change your rate, you launch a different size. There is no term commitment, so you can switch instance families whenever your workload needs shift.
