Virtual Servers · $520/mo (64 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 640 GB SSD, 7000 GB transfer)
AWS Lightsail's Windows tier is significantly overpriced compared to Linux-based alternatives with similar or better specs. Multiple providers offer 32-64GB RAM with comparable vCPU and storage at 50-80% lower cost, though you'll need to switch to Linux or accept renewal price increases on promotional rates.
Matches your 64GB RAM and 12 vCPU with 1024GB NVMe storage, unlimited traffic, and no Windows premium markup; dedicated hardware vs shared cloud.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay term; 12-month or monthly billing costs significantly more; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic.
64GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 1024GB NVMe at less than 9% of Lightsail's price; dedicated hardware with no Windows licensing penalty.
Caveat: Price not confirmed this session (estimated from historical pattern); setup fee applies; traffic overage billed beyond 20TB EU pool; VAT excluded.
32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 400GB NVMe, 32TB transfer at 95% discount; AMD EPYC processor and weekly backups included.
Caveat: Introductory rate requires 12/24/48-month prepay; renewal jumps to $49.99/mo (2x); monthly billing available but at much higher per-month rate; Linux only (no Windows option).
48GB RAM, 12 vCPU, 400GB SSD, unlimited traffic at 95% savings; 99.90% SLA and AMD EPYC.
Caveat: 24-month prepay term pricing; 12-month or monthly terms cost more; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.
32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 450GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, full root access, and 100% SLA; no Windows premium.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps steeply after intro term (typically 2-3x); monthly billing only, no hourly option; free domain only first year.
