I have no clue till when the offer is available. Additionally, while checking the costs using the calculator, I saw that barring Singapore, their other data centers were absolutely free as per the usage mentioned above. Singapore has a fee of $3.5 for usage as specified above.

Definitely worth checking out IMO :)

For starters, Amazon EC2 is not just a web hosting service. This is a cloud based offering which can be used to host an entire server on their cloud servers.
 
^ Exactly. Should have mentioned it. That is what makes this an awesome deal IMO, since most regular users wouldn't cross that usage mentioned.
