Do you get charged for a stopped instance on EC2

Question

Bit confused here  I have an on-demand instance but do I get charged even when I stop the instance

User · Answer

When you stop an instance  it is  deleted   As such there s nothing to be charged for  If you have an Elastic IP or EBS  then you ll be charged for those - but nothing related to the instance itself

Short answer - no   You will only be charged for the time that your instance is up and running  in hour increments   If you are using other services in conjunction you may be charged for those but it would be separate from your server instance

No   You get charged for    Online time Storage space  assumably you store the image on S3  EBS   Elastic IP addresses  Bandwidth   So    if you stop the EC2 instance you will only have to pay for the storage of the image on S3  assuming you store an image ofcourse  and any IP addresses you ve reserved

This may have changed since the question was asked  but there is a difference between stopping an instance and terminating an instance   If your instance is EBS-based  it can be stopped  It will remain in your account  but you will not be charged for it  you will continue to be charged for EBS storage associated with the instance and unused Elastic IP addresses   You can re-start the instance at any time   If the instance is terminated  it will be deleted from your account  You   ll be charged for any remaining EBS volumes  but by default the associated EBS volume will be deleted  This can be configured when you create the instance using the command-line EC2 API Tools
