You pay by the hour for the software running on your chosen Amazon EC2 instance type. Each dimension maps to one instance size, and the rate scales with that machine's compute, memory, and storage capacity. Smaller general-purpose sizes carry lower hourly rates, while large compute-, memory-, storage-, and GPU-focused instances cost more per hour. You pick the instance that fits your DNS workload and pay only for the hours you run it. Billing flows through your AWS account, with no upfront commitment or fixed term.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I get for the hourly rate on my chosen instance type?
You get a pre-configured authoritative DNS server with a web-based administration interface, running on the Amazon EC2 instance size you select. The rate covers the software licence running on that machine. You add storage and set your domain and credentials during the setup wizard after launch.
Am I charged the hourly software rate when my instance is stopped?
The software rate meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still pay underlying AWS fees for attached storage while the instance is stopped, since that storage persists separately from the software licence.
Do I pay upfront or commit to a term for this software?
No. Billing is pay-as-you-go through your AWS account, with no upfront commitment and no fixed term. You pay for the hours each instance runs. If you switch to a different instance size, the hourly rate for that new size applies from then on.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
