Virtual Servers · $884/mo (128 GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 1280 GB SSD, 9000 GB transfer)
AWS Lightsail's $884/mo plan is significantly overpriced compared to dedicated and cloud alternatives with matching or superior specs. Multiple providers offer 128GB RAM + 16-24 vCPU configurations for $99-$215/mo, with unlimited or generous traffic allowances and no regional overage surprises.
Matches your 128GB RAM and exceeds vCPU (16 vs 32), with 3.84TB NVMe and 20TB included EU traffic for 89% less than Lightsail.
Caveat: Setup fee rising to 79 EUR (~$86) in 2026; price is ex-VAT; traffic overages outside EU are metered; placeholder price flagged - verify current invoice before committing.
128GB RAM, 24 vCPU (vs Lightsail's 32), 2TB SSD, unlimited traffic, and 99.9% SLA for 76% savings.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay term; shorter terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth abuse; ticket-only support on base tier.
64GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 2TB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA for 75% less than Lightsail.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps steeply after intro term (often 2-3x); requires 36-month commitment for advertised rate; domain and add-ons upsold at checkout.
64GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 750GB NVMe, unlimited traffic for 92% less; best raw price-to-spec ratio if you can accept half the RAM.
Caveat: 24-month prepay term required; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support; SLA is 99.9% vs Lightsail's implicit higher tier.
64GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 960GB NVMe, 99.99% SLA, and 2TB free outbound transfer for 90% savings.
Caveat: Additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each; outbound transfer beyond 2TB is metered at $0.036/GB; renewal pricing after promo can be 2-6x higher.
