I heard many people complaining about Amazon AWS, especially that they are getting banned really fast.
It is really simple and if you can read, you will find all the information yourself on the aws.amazon.com website :P
But for the people who don't wanna search long here is a short list of what you can do with the account, and what you can't do.
At first, what you can do with an Amazon AWS account?
The most important thing what you can do, and why 95% of the people buy aws accounts is that you can create cloud instances (VPS). This is named EC2
What does amazon offer you?

This image simple shows you what amazon offers to you.
Important for you is the 750hrs/month in Amazon EC2.
What does that mean?
That means, that you can create t2.micro-instances and use them for 750 hours / month for free!
That is the first thing many people misunderstand.
You can only use the free tier instances for free!! That's the t2.micro instance.
All other instances will cost you money, and if you can't pay that money with your registered vcc, your account will get banned!
So how i use amazon without getting banned?
According to amazon you can use your t2.micro instances for 750hours/month.
So they are not calculating things in $ / month.
They calculate things per hour.
If you create 1 instance and you want to use it 30 days in a month, then you use:
1 x 24 * 31 = 744 hours
If you create 2 instances and you want to use them 30 days in a month, then you use:
2 x 24 * 31 = 1488 hours
So in the first example you won't get charged money.
In the second example the first 750 hours are free, the rest you have to pay for!
What does that mean?
That means that you only can create 1 free tier VPS and use it for 30 days / month.
If you create 2 free tier VPS, then you can use them both for 2 weeks, after that you have to delete them to avoid getting charged money.
If you create 4 free tier VPS, then you can use them for 1 week, after that you have to delete them, to avoid getting charged money.
If you create 8 free tier VPS ......... And so on...
What about traffic or storage?
Amazon got limits there too.
You can only use 15GB / bandwidth per month and 30GB storage per month.
So if you use more than 15GB traffic / month - you will get charged!
If you use more than 30GB storage / month - you will get charged!
This should be the most important things, and i hope you guys understand now how to use AWS correctly without getting your account banned.
How do other people sell Amazon AWS VPS?
The answer is quite simple: They abuse AWS.
They do not create free tier VPS (which only has 1GB ram), they create "normal" VPS which costs money. And they're not creating 1 or 2 VPS, they are creating like 50 VPS per account.
After creating about 50 VPS, they are selling each VPS for very cheap money (1$ with ~3 days warranty).
They can only give that low warranty because after that time their aws account gets simply deleted by amazon because they see they are abusing their service.
Don't trust anyone without reputation who sells amazon AWS for very cheap money with a huge warranty.
Either he scams you or he does make 1 account for each VPS which is very unlikely.
