I’ve moved to Amazon EC2 as mentioned here<\/a> and mentioned the monthly pay is $17, that was based on EC2 node’s cost is $14 I think, and after dig into EC2’s offers, I found something more useful, see below:<\/p>\n

Amazon has this Reserved Instance<\/a> which is pretty good to Web servers that needs to be running for all the time, I did some calculation and here is the comparison for 1-year term:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Plan<\/th>\nOne time<\/th>\nHourly<\/th>\nYearly<\/th>\nMonthly (alloc.)<\/p>\n
On demand<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n0.020<\/td>\n175.20<\/td>\n14.60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
light<\/td>\n23<\/td>\n0.012<\/td>\n128.12<\/td>\n10.68<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
medium<\/td>\n54<\/td>\n0.007<\/td>\n115.32<\/td>\n9.61<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
heavy<\/td>\n62<\/td>\n0.005<\/td>\n105.80<\/td>\n8.82<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Although 3-years term may save more, I don’t want to sign such a long contract as $8.82 per month is good enough to me now.<\/p>\n

I will move to the heavy one after my free tier expires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
