I've been asked to archive a village website. The solution needs to be:
1) Cheap
2) Available to a restricted list of people
3) Basic LAMP setup

My guess is that AWS would probably work. I can use the free tier t2.micro instances to prove it all works.

Questions:

Do charges only get levied when the server is turned on? If the server is only turned on when someone needs to access the old site I'm assuming that costs would be minimal.

Does the site get deleted if the site isn't turned on for a certain period?

I have thought about running a VM and setting it all up locally, but that requires someone to 'host' it and also has a higher technical level (expertise and hardware) required to set it up and run it.

Thanks guys
