Amazon Drops EC2 Prices
October 28, 2009
And that’s good news for our customers! In their official announcement, Amazon said:
Finally, we are also lowering prices on all Amazon EC2 On-Demand compute instances, effective on November 1st. Charges for Linux-based instances will drop 15% — a small Linux instance will now cost just 8.5 cents per hour of computing, compared to the previous price of 10 cents per hour.
Since your Bixolabs usage fee is based on AWS pricing, you directly benefit from this reduction, since Linux-based instances are what we use for web mining. Visit the EC2 pricing page for more details on the base price we use for calculating your usage fees.
