Hi, I'm pretty new to AWS, I know the basics of deploying with an EC2 instance with the help of apache2 and pm2.
I was trying to price out how much it would cost to deploy a site on a yearly basis based off of what compute power the client wants.
Next thing I got to thinking what if a customer doesn't pay me to take care of the bill?
That would suck to have my account disabled because of that.
A few work arounds I have thought of is:
Should I just go about creating new AWS accounts and setting them up for my clients so they are responsible for that bill?
Should I charge a security deposit?
With the above I was thinking maybe to multiply the charges by 1.1* until the cost of the security deposit is matched to return that security deposit.
Or is there a different solution that I'm not aware of?
I thought of that, however, it would still be on my amazon account. If a customer didn't pay for it I read that if you don't pay your bill then AWS can suspend your account.
Thank you so much for reaching out too. I've been programming for under a year and it is so nice to see such an active community :)
Yes, AWS account will be suspended if the customer fails to pay the fee. https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/reactivate-suspended-account
