Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the software running on your chosen Amazon EC2 instance. Each dimension maps to one EC2 instance type, so pricing scales with the compute you select. Options range from small burstable instances like t3.nano to memory-optimized, compute-optimized, and high-memory families, plus bare-metal and accelerated types. Larger instances carry higher hourly rates because they provide more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware. The software itself is the same Caddy reverse proxy image across every option; you choose the instance size that fits your workload and traffic needs. Support is included with the listing.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one Amazon EC2 instance type running the Caddy reverse proxy image. You are billed per hour that the instance runs. The rate reflects the instance's CPU, memory, and any specialized hardware. You pick one instance size to match your traffic and workload.
The software rate meters running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume may still apply while the instance is stopped. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
You pay only for the hours each instance runs, with no upfront commitment. If traffic grows, you can move to a larger instance type and the higher hourly rate applies from then on. If traffic drops, choose a smaller instance. This suits variable or unpredictable workloads.
