- I just got the bill for the first month of hosting this blog on Amazon Web Services. The total for the month was $23.60, and includes:data transfer charges for all in-bound and out-bound content;a full-time use of a LINUX micro-sized Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance (with backup to the Elastic Block Store (EBS));a Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket for static files (Cascading Style Sheet and JavaScript files, images, and other media); anduse of the Amazon CloudFront content distribution network. All told, I'm pretty pleased with the costs -- particularly as I was considering the amortized cost of buying a new server to replace the one I had been using for the past five years.
