My Opinion on Amazon Lightsail

written by grex on 2018-03-02 04:26:14

Overall

Ease of Use

Customer Service

Value For Money

Overall Opinion: Amazon is a household name by now, and their sheer size allows them to offer a variety of goods and services at economy prices. Their Lightsail service is no exception, as it's an affordable VPN provider that is specifically aimed at students, start-ups and small businesses. Thanks to modern networking and improvements to the data "cloud," getting a virtual private server is now astonishingly easy, and Lightsail may be the easiest of them all. There's a wide variety of packages to choose from, whether one needs a tiny, one-core, 20 gigabyte pea shooter or a fancy, two-core, 80 gigabyte bazooka. Lightsail also has a block-storage solution for those who don't need to make a 20 to 40 gigabyte jump and just need a dime's worth of extra space instead. Any of these options can be bought and set up in a matter of seconds, making Lightsail both simple and affordable. It therefore has a lot of appeal to super-small firms and lone wolf companies who are just trying something new and don't want to buy the farm. It's a low-risk, no hassle server solution that can satisfy just about any web-based application.

Pros: One month free trial available at aws.amazon.com/lightsail Cheaper data transfer rates for those in the Asian Pacific region (Mumbai and Sydney) Servers are available around the world, allowing fast speeds and constant up-time

Cons: Amazon is an enormous company, and as such, customer support can take a while Smaller or local server providers may be able to provide better prices, depending on needs

grex is using Amazon Lightsail every other week recently.

Features
