Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you choose to run phpBB. The 21 dimensions are all instance sizes, not feature tiers. They span several instance families: burstable t2 and t3 types, general-purpose m3, m4, and m5 types, compute-optimized c3, c4, and c5 types, and memory-optimized r3, r4, and r5 types. Within each family, larger sizes carry higher hourly rates. Your hourly cost scales with the compute, memory, and size you select. Software and maintenance support are included in the same hourly charge.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One hour equals one running hour of the EC2 instance size you select. The hourly rate covers the phpBB software, the Ubuntu operating system, and maintenance support. Each instance type has its own hourly rate tied to its compute, memory, and size.
The software charge meters running time only, so a fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software fee. Stopped instances may still incur separate AWS storage costs for attached volumes. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
You choose the instance type at launch, and each type carries its own hourly rate. To change size, you deploy the instance type that fits your new needs. Larger sizes within a family carry higher hourly rates. Maintenance support is included across all types.
