See AWS Free Tier for more details.

See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance running this WordPress software image. Pricing is not tiered by feature. Instead, each rate maps to a specific EC2 instance type. Options span compute-optimized (C), general-purpose (M), memory-optimized (R and X), storage-optimized (D, H, I), and GPU/accelerated (G, P, F) families, plus burstable T-series. Within each family, hourly cost scales with instance size, from small (large, medium) up to metal and the largest multi-xlarge sizes. You choose the instance that fits your workload; your bill reflects hours run at that instance's rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually get for the hourly rate on each instance type?
You get a preconfigured WordPress software image running on the EC2 instance size you select. The image includes WordPress with a generated admin password stored on the instance. Your hourly rate covers the software license for that specific instance type; the underlying EC2 compute is billed by AWS.
Am I charged when my WordPress instance is stopped or paused?
The software charge meters running instance-hours. When you stop the instance, the hourly software rate stops accruing. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are separate from the software license, which counts only running time.
How do I choose which instance type to pay for?
Match the instance to your workload needs. Compute-optimized (C) suits processing-heavy sites; memory-optimized (R, X) suits large databases; general-purpose (M) and burstable (T) fit typical sites. Larger sizes within a family cost more per hour but add CPU and memory. You pay only for the type you launch.
