PostgreSQL on AWS - Preconfigured, Hardened, Ready in Minutes
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. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.

See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for a preconfigured PostgreSQL image running on an AWS EC2 instance. Pricing scales with the EC2 instance type you select, not with a software tier. Each dimension matches a specific instance size and family, covering general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and accelerated options. Smaller instances like t2.nano fit light workloads, while larger ones like x1e.32xlarge and i3.metal handle heavier demands. Your hourly rate reflects the compute, memory, and storage of the chosen instance. You can stop usage at any time, since billing follows actual hours run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually get for the hourly rate on each instance type?
You get a preconfigured, hardened PostgreSQL image running on the EC2 instance you pick. The instance type sets the compute, memory, and storage you receive. For example, t2.nano provides a small footprint for light testing, while i3.metal or x1e.32xlarge deliver large memory and storage for heavy workloads.
Am I charged when my EC2 instance is stopped or paused?
Software charges meter running hours only. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the hourly software fee. Note that underlying AWS storage for a stopped instance may still bill separately through AWS. To end software charges entirely, stop the instance when it is not in use.
Does my hourly rate change if I switch to a different EC2 instance type?
Yes. Each instance type is a separate pricing dimension with its own hourly rate. The rate reflects that instance's compute, memory, and storage. Moving from a smaller family like t2 to a larger one like r5 or x1e changes your hourly software charge accordingly.

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.
Version release notes
PostgreSQL 18 / 17 /16 /15 , Docker, Websoft9 v2.4.4, Websoft9 Console has been upgraded to a single-image container.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Launch the AMI with 1-Click and copy the instance's Public IPv4 address from the EC2 Console.
Open https://<EC2_PUBLIC_IP>:9000 and complete the setup wizard - no SSH login, password lookup, or manual password generation.
Use the Websoft9 Console to deploy applications, bind domains, enable HTTPS, and manage backups and monitoring. The Console shows the access URL and port for each application.
Note: Allow inbound TCP 80/443 (web/HTTPS) and 9000 (Websoft9 Console); open additional ports such as 9001 only if required by your applications.
