AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you choose to run this WordPress image. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS instance size, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, and storage of the instance you select. Smaller instances like t3.nano or t2.micro carry lower hourly rates, while memory-optimized and metal instances like r6idn.metal cost more per hour. The software runs the same across all sizes. You add the software fee to the underlying AWS infrastructure charge. Billing flows through your existing AWS account with no separate contract.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover, and what runs on the instance I select?
One unit is one hour of a running EC2 instance carrying the WordPress image. Each instance runs WordPress on a hardened Ubuntu base with Apache, PHP, MariaDB, phpMyAdmin, and SFTP access. The software is identical across every instance type. Only the compute, memory, and storage of the chosen instance change with size.
Am I charged the hourly software fee when the instance is stopped?
The software fee meters running instance-hours. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still pay underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume while the instance is stopped. Charges resume once you start the instance again.
How do the software fee and the AWS infrastructure charge combine on my bill?
Both charges apply per running hour and add together on one invoice. The software fee covers the WordPress image; the AWS charge covers the underlying instance compute and storage. Larger instance types raise both amounts. Billing flows through your existing AWS account with no separate contract.

Quick Start:
Browse to https://<instance-ip>/wp-admin (self-signed certificate; replaceable).
Credentials were generated on first boot: SSH in as 'ubuntu' and read /opt/wordpress/default-wordpress-credentials.txt.
phpMyAdmin is available at https://<instance-ip>/phpmyadmin with the database credentials from the same file.
