$51 is only the up front fee. It's $77 for the year, plus you need an EBS volume - say $6 for a magnetic disk 10 GB EBS, or $12 for an SSD.

ok, so about $6.90 per month for 1 year then including storage. Thats still less than a 1GB RAM DO server which goes for $10 per month, and much less if you go for 3 years. Factoring in 1 year of free tier makes it even less.
