Along with 750 instance hours of Windows Server 2008 R2 per month, the Free Usage Tier also provides another 750 instance hours to run Linux (also on a t1.micro)

Does that mean you can run two t1.micro servers concurrently?

Edit: yes it does - http://aws.amazon.com/free



Only one instance is free, and only for the evaluation period (1 year I think). You can buy more / bigger instances and do as you please though.


Does anything stops me from creating new Amazon account after one year and copying all data to new free instance?


Remember that you need to provide credit card information, and they're pretty smart to check that "you already have an account".


Ethics aside, I've had no issue when creating an alternate account with the same CC info.


I only see this offer in english. Is it just not yet translated, or not available for germany?


It is available for all customers, just not yet translated
