ABOUT JOOMLA
Joomla is one of the world's most popular open-source content management systems, powering millions of websites ranging from small business sites to large-scale enterprise portals and government platforms. With nearly two decades of active development, Joomla offers a flexible content architecture, multilingual support out of the box, granular user access control, and a vast ecosystem of extensions and templates. Whether building a corporate website, an online community, an e-commerce storefront, or a complex publishing platform, Joomla provides the structure and extensibility to support it. Licensed under the GNU General Public License v2, Joomla is free to use, modify, and distribute.

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 the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This listing uses a single contract pricing dimension for Joomla 5.4.5 running on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. You buy one unit under a contract term, so there are no separate tiers, instance sizes, or usage add-ons to compare. Pricing is a flat commitment for the packaged software. The vendor pre-configures the solution for quick deployment. Because only one dimension exists, your cost stays consistent for the contract period, and you do not select among multiple options or scale across price bands.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one unit of Joomla 5.4.5 cover under this contract?
One unit covers the packaged Joomla 5.4.5 software running on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. You buy a single unit for the machine image itself. The unit is the software license, not a per-user or per-site count. It applies to the deployment you run under the contract term.
Does my software cost change if I stop or scale the underlying instance?
The software charge is a flat contract commitment for one unit. It does not vary with instance size, running hours, or traffic. Stopping the instance does not change the software fee. Underlying AWS compute and storage charges are billed separately by AWS and depend on the resources you run.
Is this a one-time purchase or an ongoing subscription?
This is a contract-based purchase for one unit of the software. You commit for the contract term rather than paying per hour of use. The cost stays consistent across that period, with no usage tiers or add-on dimensions to select. The vendor pre-configures the solution for quick deployment.

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.
