[support] Cloud pricing estimates

[Warren Vail]

I would expect an Instance to be a virtual server instance, complete with
lamp stack etc, where would I go to get one, any idea?

If someone loads up a page that leaves them connected as a seat on your
database, and they type a word into a formfield, and they go on vacation for
3 weeks, is that an "instance"? (

I meant "is that a 3-week-long instance" ... which could get pretty darn
expensive if you ever have a db admin who forgets to set the pref for
"disconnect guest when idle for __ minutes" and then even though no EC2
resources are being consumed whatsoever, Amazon will still charge you by the
hour for that seat. I really don't get charging for server space by "time"
rather than by actual resources consumed.

again, don't put yourself out explaining unless you really want to, I'm just
musing here.
