How would I be able to automatically schedule an amazon EC2 Micro instance to stop? I haven't created an amazon account yet; I just want to know if I would be able to do it.
For example, have the instance turn off from 1AM to 7AM and then back on again.
I'm planning to host a minecraft server on it, I'm not sure if micro might be too small. I am also concerned how much the upload/download rates are

It's all in the docs. Just a short search revealed:
