If I am reading that correctly, sounds like you get exclusive access to the hardware. i.e. not a VM. So, probably will cost more. Last I looked, the reserved instance stuff was the cheapest. Although was somewhat confusing for me to understand initially, and I had to complain to Amazon when their website stuffed things up.... IIRC, if you have a reserved instance, then the hourly fees get reduced significantly (but are still payable). So the total payable is less. I think there might have been two types of reserved instances, but I have forgotten this stuff already. Even with the reserved instance, you probably find you will end up paying more then for an alternative provider. At least that is what I found several years ago, when I moved to Hetzner instead. > I also find that all (or too many, if not all) AWS pages are super > resource hungry and cause performance issues (that is, their website > pages detailing the products on offer).
