Amazon Lightsail

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.
