I've been running FreeBSD in EC2 since 2010 (the bad old days, when we had
to boot from a 1GiB Linux Grub volume and have  FBSD kernel on a separate
EBS volume).

A t2.large instance (2 vCPU, 8GiB RAM) is $0.0928/hr, or $0.055/hr
effective rate if you purchase a 1 year reserved instance.
EBS and network are billed separately, but your needs are quite modest.

In us-west-2 (Oregon), with 80GiB of storage and 100GB outbound network
traffic per month, your monthly cost would be about $85.  Less if you
purchase a reserved instance.
