"Since you'll typically want 24/7 computing hours"
Exactly! That's one of the things that confused me in their calculator -- the "number of hours used per month". Do they mean number of hours it's turned on for or actual use? I don't get it. If it's simply whether it's on then, like you say, 24/7 please. What do they expect? That people are turning them on and off all the time? Which brings me to the confusion of the whole "terminate" thing and what they means. With the Linux instance I have the only two option are "reboot" or "terminate". There isn't an option for "off".
All a bit much for me. Just not ready for the cloud as I don't have time to learn the meanings of it all. For now I'll stick with a regular hosting package I think.
