Reducing Costs on AWS
I have been running a VPS on AWS for the last year or so, I've got an EC2 instance with 200GB SSD, 4GB Ram, 4 vCPU. I'm running a cPanel/WHM server on CentOS with about 20-30 websites.
I've had no performance issues with this setup and I'm quite happy with the way it's been running and all. But I'm wondering if there is any way I can reduce my costs on AWS?

currently I'm paying about $80USD per month for this which actually isn't too bad but I'm also no expert in the way AWS works so I have no idea if there is a way I can reduce costs.
I've heard of things like Spot Pricing, but as far as I know this wouldn't be useful considering I need 100% uptime?
Thanks
You can get around ~30% savings by using a reserved instance. You don't need to change anything other than get a reserved instance of the same type and select the billing you want, around 30% off is standard with no upfront costs and savings go higher the longer you commit/more upfront you pay.
considering I need 100% uptime?
You won't get 100% uptime with a single instance, if you truly need 100% uptime then you need multiple instances in separate AZs.

if you do get different VPS on different networks and geo redundant, this way you will be able to archive 100% uptime.

Sorry guys, I don't exactly need 100% up time, should've said 99.9% I guess. What I'm trying to say is from what I've found, spot pricing wont be a good decision when running a web server.

Still unsure exactly how I can do this. Would I need to create a whole new instance and then plug in the existing disk,network interface etc?
No you don't need to create a new instance. The reserved instance is essentially a billing item, so you would simply get it and leave your existing instance and it will reflect on your next bill. Providing you have the same instance type/region.

Thanks Scott, I have just gone ahead and created a reserved instance. Although I'm not sure if I screwed it up or not. I selected Linux/Unix and not sure if that would allocate itself correctly as I am running CentOS and WHM etc. I also haven't got a region set on the RI as I didn't see an option. How exactly would I know that it's coming into effect?
Thanks for your help.

I am using Amazon lightsail, before I paid in SoftLayer us $112 monthly and had problems with the speed of the discs. now I'm paying us $40 on Amazon lightsail and the machine has a great performance.
