Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you choose to run this software. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS instance size, from small shared instances like t2.nano up to large dedicated metal instances. The hourly rate scales with the compute, memory, and storage capacity of the instance. Larger instances with more vCPUs, RAM, or GPU and storage resources carry higher hourly rates. You select the instance that fits your DNS server workload, and billing follows actual running hours. No upfront commitment applies.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. The charge covers the BIND 9 DNS server software plus vendor support on CentOS Stream 9. Each instance you launch bills separately, so running two instances doubles the software charge.
Software charges apply only while an instance runs. A stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. Underlying AWS storage costs for the attached volumes may still apply while the instance is stopped, but those are separate from this software charge.
Billing is usage-based with no upfront commitment. You pay the hourly rate for each hour an instance runs and stop paying the software fee when you stop it. This suits variable or short-term DNS workloads where you want to avoid a fixed term.
