Is AWS Lightsail's Comp 4GB (Linux, IPv6) the best deal?

Doubles your RAM (8GB vs 4GB) and vCPU (4 vs 2) for 84% less, with unlimited traffic and no data-transfer overage risk.

Caveat: Quoted price requires 24-month prepayment; 1-month terms cost significantly more per month, and SLA is 99.90% vs AWS's implicit higher standard.

Matches your 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU for 88% less, includes daily backups and unlimited traffic with no per-GB overage charges.

Caveat: IPv4 address billed separately; Windows license surcharge applies if you switch OS; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026.

Offers 2GB RAM and 2 vCPU for 89% less with unlimited traffic (up to 1 Gbit/s) and no per-GB transfer overage within fair limits.

Caveat: Intro price is a 3-month or 1-year promo; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher after contract ends; 2TB free transfer pool, then $0.036/GB.

Matches your 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU for 83% less, includes 20TB monthly transfer (vs AWS's 5TB), and no regional overage variance.

Caveat: VAT excluded from listed price; traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; recent price increases on other lines suggest future hikes possible.

Delivers 4GB RAM and 1 vCPU for 83% less with 4TB monthly transfer and weekly backups included.

Caveat: Intro price requires 12-24-48 month prepayment; renewal jumps to $11.99/mo (85% increase); month-to-month billing is much higher.
