Really can't see a use case for myself and really looking for someone else's.

I have my own personal server where I just ssh into for my needs and it is cheaper than $9.99 a month.

The pricing isn't quite ideal, but this may be useful in certain classroom situations - like a MeetUp or something like that.

Can you suggest a better pricing structure? I'm trying to make it cheaper (it's just AWS is expensive that's all!)

I feel like you should have your own datacenter if you want to run a business like this. AWS is very expensive (but appropriate for many) and not intended for VDI.

Yes, I agree, I'm hoping that I can move the architecture to an LXC based setup to make it more efficient, and to allow instances to have unlimited hours (that's the destination).

Compared to a digital oceans' account? Just asking not making a statement.

All that I meant was that group pricing would be needed for a classroom setting. I'm not sure what I can contribute beyond that suggestion.

I think it's more targeted at interactive use, plus each instance is a lot more powerful than normal VPS (AWS t2.medium).
