Amazon S3

I have managed to set up an account with Amazon S3, the free tier. I got it connected to Sytist and it is working all fine, so that is great. However, with 2 test sites up, I have already received an email saying I have overshot the quota by 85% - fine I am happy to upgrade and someone here in another thread mentioned that the Standard option would be more than sufficient - but try as I might, I just can not figure out how to upgrade to the Standard plan - can anyone assist? (I have put a ticket in with AWS)

I don't have an answer. I didn't even know they had a free tier. Maybe someone else knows and can answer.

When my 12 months free trial ended AWS sent a email to continue S3 on a paid service. https://aws.amazon.com/free/free-tier-faqs/

Hi Vance,

Thanks for that info. I have had another look around, and it seems that because I am on the free tier and gone over, that I just get charged the Pay As You Go standard rate - but geez, they need to stop letting the folks who build the AWS service backend, also write the customer facing side... I find it very opaque. And I got a response from AWS and it was clear they did not read my query. Ugh. Thank for your help.
