am i doing free tier wrong? i thought i selected whatever was labeled "free tier".

i did make this account a few years ago but never got to using it until now...

the main purpose of the free tier was to test how well amazon works for the game servers i wanted to host. and if they worked fine, i would rent one of them for 3 years.

can someone explain to me what i did wrong?
 
Its impossible for us to know what you selected when you signed up for this 3 years ago. The screenshot shows charges though. Not sure how we can help. Check your profile and call Amazon is my suggestion.

GL! :)
 
Amazon is probably always a trial, that's probably why they also demand a credit card. Just a heads up.

It looks like the Amazon services aren't really free.
 
i just found out that they give you free tier as soon as you sign up. after that, no more free tier. so it looks like i cant host anymore at least until i save up 144 dollars so i can rent one of their virtual servers for 3 years.
