I looked up amazon hosting and yikes, I'm not understanding quit what they mean

In example, it says:
Pricing Pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee.

I selected amazon cloud front to get to this window. Is this the right choice for hosting images and video for a sales page?
Thing is, I don't understand this at all. Can someone explain it?
What would this actually cost if you were sending high traffic volume to your page, that had a video and some images hosted with them?

    I love Amazon could hosting for my videos. Yes, that's what you want. Get the firefox addon, s3 organizer. You'll create a folder (they call it a bucket), and then upload your videos to the bucket. Each video will have it's own link that you'll put in your site.

    It's really super cheap.

      Hey can you give me an idea of monthly costs? I pay $9 for hostgator every month and I like it.
      But I'm totally not understanding how amazon is stating the pricing works. I don't know what any of that means in my original post...
