Virtual Servers · $1320/mo (192 GB RAM, 48 vCPU, 1280 GB SSD, 10000 GB transfer)
AWS Lightsail's $1320/mo price is significantly higher than comparable dedicated and cloud servers with similar or better specs. Hetzner's AX162 and Contabo's AMD Genoa 24-core both offer 48 vCPU or 24 vCPU with 128GB RAM for under $250/mo, though they trade some storage capacity and have setup fees or contract lock-in. For your exact 192GB RAM and 48 vCPU needs, no perfect match exists at lower cost, but stepping down to 128GB RAM saves 80-85% monthly.
48 vCPU, 128GB RAM, 3.84TB NVMe for $199/mo - nearly identical CPU/RAM to Lightsail at 1/6 the price, with much faster NVMe storage.
Caveat: Setup fee 159 EUR (~$173) in 2026; traffic overage billed beyond 20TB EU pool; VAT not included in listed price; recent CCX/CPX price hikes suggest future increases possible.
128GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 2TB SSD, unlimited traffic for $215/mo - half the vCPU but half the price, with no bandwidth overage risk.
Caveat: Price is for 24-month prepaid term; shorter contracts cost more per month; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth; ticket-only support on base tier.
128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 3TB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth for $312/mo - strong value with no bandwidth overage charges and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Renewal price increases steeply after intro term; 36-month contract required for lowest advertised rate; aggressive upsell prompts during checkout.
128GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 1.92TB SSD for $276/mo - solid dedicated hardware with 99.9% SLA and no bandwidth overage charges.
Caveat: Delivery time varies 1 hour to 5 days; prices exclude VAT; only 24 vCPU vs Lightsail's 48.
128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 3.2TB SSD RAID-10, 10TB transfer for $532/mo - managed service with 100% uptime SLA and no bandwidth overage risk.
Caveat: Advertised price is promotional; renewal pricing is meaningfully higher; 32 vCPU is still half Lightsail's 48.
