Is AWS Lightsail's GP 4GB (Linux, IPv4) the best deal?

Doubles your RAM (8GB) and vCPU (4) for one-quarter the price, with 100GB SSD and unlimited traffic on a 24-month contract.

Caveat: Price is effective rate for 24-month prepaid term; shorter 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month, and fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.

Matches your 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU for 81% less, includes daily backups and unlimited traffic, with 99.99% SLA.

Caveat: Storage is only 40GB NVMe (vs 80GB), IPv4 addresses billed separately, and Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour surcharge.

Matches your 4GB RAM and 4000GB transfer allowance for 73% less, with 1 vCPU and 50GB NVMe, plus weekly backups.

Caveat: Intro price requires 12/24/48-month prepay; renewal jumps to $11.99/mo (85% increase), and only 1 vCPU vs your 2 vCPU.

Matches your 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU for 73% less, with 40GB SSD and 20TB transfer allowance (5x your Lightsail quota).

Caveat: VAT excluded from listed price; traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB EU pool (much lower in USA/Singapore); recent price increases on other lines suggest future hikes possible.

Offers 2GB RAM and 2 vCPU for 82% less, with 80GB NVMe and unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s.

Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional (3-month or 1-year) on 1-year contract; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher, and outbound transfer beyond 2TB free pool is tiered at $0.036/GB.
