Amazon Free Server Hosting?

I'm not tech savvy so I'm wondering if anyone knows if the free usage tier that amazon provides is enough to run a 2 player duel server without incurring fees. Reply

Have a read of these threads, they mention game server hosting on Amazon -

Amazon cts server

I can't see on the linked page what the server specs are?

Tucked away in the FAQ's

Micro Instance
613 MB memory
Up to 2 EC2 Compute Units (for short periodic bursts)
EBS storage only
32-bit or 64-bit platform
I/O Performance: Low
API name: t1.micro

One EC2 Compute Unit provides the equivalent CPU capacity of a 1.0-1.2 GHz 2007 Opteron or 2007 Xeon processor. This is also the equivalent to an early-2006 1.7 GHz Xeon processor referenced in our original documentation

Why don't you try it and report back how it went! Reply
