Benefits
 
Main benefits of using Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) are:
 
Cost
You can start with a micro instance which has 750 hours per month of Linux and Windows instance use, along with 613 MB of RAM, 32 bit or 63 bit systems. Which is free of charge with certain operating systems, including Windows Server 2012 Base. This is called the Free Tier.
Beyond the free tier you start $0.060 USD cents per hour for a Small Linux instance, which is $1.44 USD per day, or $0.091 USD cents per hour for a Small Windows instance, which is $2.18 USD per day. Not bad at all. Lots of VPS hosts charge this and more already. Just pay as you go.
Small instances support 32/64 bits, 1 core, 1 ECU, 1.7 GiB, 1x160 GB

Scalability
Once your server needs more RAM and CPU power than the Free Tier can offer, you can just 1) take a Snapshot of your current instance, 2) Detach your Elastic IP from your old instance, 3) Create a new, more powerful instance from the Snapshot, 4) Attach your Elastic IP to your new instance, and BAM, you’ve got the exact same Hercules server on better hardware. All this in a few
minutes. You have complete control.
 
Reliability
Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud is exactly that. A reliable, elastic computing cloud. All your virtual machines are hosted on the most stable clusters that use the most speedy network connections available. You’ll definitely get peace of mind that you’ll server won’t just stop working one day because of unreliable hardware, software or bad maintenance.
 
Important

Creating and using an Elastic IP is FREE of cost. But using additional Elastic IP’s cost you $0.005 USD cents per hour. Which is $.12 USD cents per day.

Inbound and Outbound Bandwidth per GB is free.

Snapshots are pretty cheap too. Cost depends on country.
 
You can get an idea of how much your new instance will cost with the calculator

Note: Remember, Micro instances are FREE with certain Operating Systems.
