Virtual Servers · $580/mo (128 GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 1280 GB SSD, 8000 GB transfer)
AWS Lightsail's $580/mo plan is significantly overpriced compared to dedicated and cloud alternatives with similar or better specs. Multiple providers offer 64GB RAM with 16 vCPU for $40-$150/mo, and even accounting for hidden costs and contract terms, you can save 60-85% monthly while gaining more storage and unlimited or higher bandwidth allowances.
Matches your 16 vCPU and offers 64GB RAM for just $40/mo with unlimited traffic, saving $540/mo versus Lightsail.
Caveat: Price locks in only on 24-month prepaid terms; shorter contracts cost 20-30% more per month, and storage is half Lightsail's (500GB vs 1280GB).
Dedicated hardware with 64GB DDR5 ECC RAM, 8 vCPU, and 1.92TB NVMe for $49/mo; includes 20TB EU traffic pool before overage charges.
Caveat: Setup fee rising to 79 EUR in 2026; only 8 vCPU vs your 16, and traffic overage rates apply outside EU; prices exclude VAT.
Upgrades to 750GB NVMe and keeps 16 vCPU + 64GB RAM with unlimited traffic for $72.52/mo, still 87% cheaper than Lightsail.
Caveat: 24-month prepaid term required for this rate; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth abuse.
16 vCPU, 64GB RAM, 960GB NVMe, and 99.99% SLA for $90/mo; includes 2TB free outbound transfer before tiered overage kicks in.
Caveat: Additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each; outbound transfer beyond 2TB is $0.036/GB (2-10TB tier); renewal pricing can be 2-6x higher after contract.
16 vCPU, 64GB DDR5 RAM, 2000GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA for $217/mo; still saves $363/mo versus Lightsail.
Caveat: Renewal pricing jumps significantly after intro term; 36-month commitment required for advertised rate; domain and add-ons upsold at checkout.
