I'm thinking of hosting my wordpress site on Amazon AWS , since they are giving free 12months hosting i signed up for it. I got bit confused in their "AWS Free Usage Tier (Per Month):" I will be happy if some one explain a bit about it . how much bandwidth will i be able to use under free usages policy ? my site currently use around 25-30 gb bandwidth
You get about 15gb a month but bandwidth isn't the only factor you can only get so many get requests, and many more things, I wouldn't even bother or you will end up paying alot of money.
That's what he is talking about I guess you never read his post.. As an example, a medium sized website database might be 100 GB in size and expect to average 100 I/Os per second over the course of a month. This would translate to $10 per month in storage costs (100 GB x $0.10/month), and approximately $26 per month in request costs (~2.6 million seconds/month x 100 I/O per second * $0.10 per million I/O). So you would be looking at $36 a month for a "small/medium site"
Here are the restrictions: * 750 hours of Amazon EC2 Linux Micro Instance usage (613 MB of memory and 32-bit and 64-bit platform support) – enough hours to run continuously each month* * 10 GB of Amazon Elastic Block Storage, plus 1 million I/Os, 1 GB of snapshot storage, 10,000 snapshot Get Requests and 1,000 snapshot Put Requests* * 5 GB of Amazon S3 standard storage, 20,000 Get Requests, and 2,000 Put Requests* * 15 GB of bandwidth out aggregated across all AWS services*
Amazon (especially for simple web hosting) is a complete rip-off.. beware those 'tiny' fees -- at the end of the month, they'll shock you and you'll end up having to put all that time in again.. moving your site off the Amazon Cloud.
