I tossed one up for fun last night.
It's a linux box however, I did the AWS Free tier (1gb) with SSD option. The stupid thing has a 14ms ping for me, lol.
Configuring linux unfortunately is not super simple, my guide is out of date, and I know this is for Windows, but my memory footprint with a clean bootup on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is 296MB with ucs/world/1 zone running, and mysql as well. Each zone adds about 15 MB. I think the 1 gig cap would be hit pretty quickly when the DB caches and memory allocations occur from player load + zones needed, but it seems viable especially at a starter tier of a server.
Dunno the config for the other guy doing free windows, but figured this may be informative.
