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 run. Each dimension maps to one AWS instance size, so pricing scales with the compute you choose. Options span general-purpose families (t2, t3, m3, m4, m5), compute-optimized families (c3, c4, c5), and memory-optimized families (r3, r4, r5). Within a family, larger sizes like large, xlarge, and 2xlarge cost more per hour than smaller sizes like nano, micro, and small. You pick the instance that fits your workload and pay only for hours used. Software and maintenance support are bundled into the hourly rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one billed unit represent for these hourly rates?
Each rate is charged per hour that one EC2 instance of the named type runs. One unit equals one running instance of that size. Running two instances of the same type doubles the hourly charge. You pick the instance size, and billing follows the hours it stays active.
Am I charged the software rate when my instance is stopped?
The hourly software rate meters running time only. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS storage or other resources tied to the instance may still bill separately, but the software and maintenance rate applies only while the instance runs.
What is included in the hourly rate besides the compute?
The hourly rate bundles the MYBB software on Ubuntu 26.04 plus maintenance support from the vendor. Support covers version upgrades, security upgrades, and vulnerability handling. The rate does not include separate AWS infrastructure fees, such as storage or data transfer, which AWS bills directly.
