- gduffy 17y agoHuh? There is no cost for an elastic IP address when it is in use.
- wmf 17y agoBut there is a cost for running a separate instance for every IP since Amazon won't let you assign more than one address per instance.
- izak30 17y agoThanks! I did lose points for this w/o clarifying.. I run multiple sites on a single instance (we're a webhost) We don't do shopping carts/ssl for our clients, because that would cost 1 - Small Instance/month, which is cost-prohibitive for them. We are using the 1 static IP for our own SSL certificate.
- astrodust 17y agoElastic IPs are $7/mo. only if they are unused. They cost nothing if attached to a running EC2 instance. See: (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/#pricing http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/#pricing)
- izak30 17y agoYeah, I know, but you can only attach one per instance, so the effective cost per elastic ip per month is 1 small instance.
