AWS Lightsail (US-class list, always-on): Linux/Unix General Purpose IPv4 — 0.5 GB $5 · 1 GB $7 · 2 GB $12 · 4 GB $24 · 8 GB $44 · 16 GB $84 · 32 GB $164 · through 256 GB $1,764. IPv6-only GP Linux (≠ IPv4): 0.5 GB $3.50 · 1 GB $5 · 2 GB $10 · … · 64 GB $380. Windows GP IPv4: 0.5 GB $9.50 · 1 GB $14 · 2 GB $22 · 4 GB $44 · … · 64 GB $574. Memory-opt Linux: 16 GB $74 … 512 GB $2,344. Compute-opt Linux: 4 GB $42 … 144 GB $1,688. Block storage $0.10/GB-mo · Snapshots $0.05/GB-mo · outbound overage default $0.09/GB (region varies — footnote). Allowance math uses 1 TB = 1000 GB. APAC (Mumbai/Sydney/Jakarta/Malaysia/Hong Kong) + Sao Paulo = half included transfer. Transfer counts inbound+outbound; overage is outbound excess only. Optional: CDN $2.50/$10/$35 · LB $18 · Containers Nano–XLarge · Managed DB standard $15–$490.

How it works
- How much does AWS Lightsail 1 GB cost?
- Linux/Unix General Purpose with public IPv4: 1 GB / 2 vCPU is $7/mo with 2 TB transfer included (1 TB = 1000 GB in this estimate). Always-on, no block/snapshots, ≤2 TB outbound → $7 (as of 2026-11-04).
- IPv4 vs IPv6-only — what's the difference?
- Separate price ladders. Linux GP IPv4 1 GB is $7; IPv6-only 1 GB is $5. Never mix the ladders. Dual-stack IPv4 bundles are the primary search intent for this calculator.
- How does transfer overage work?
- Allowance counts inbound + outbound; only outbound excess is billed. Default US-class overage $0.09/GB. Example: Linux GP 4 GB includes 4 TB; 5 TB outbound → $24 + 1000 × $0.09 = $114. APAC (Mumbai/Sydney/Jakarta/Malaysia/Hong Kong) + Sao Paulo = half included transfer.
- What about block storage and snapshots?
- Block storage $0.10/GB-mo allocated; snapshots $0.05/GB-mo stored. Example: 1 GB instance + 32 GB block = $7 + $3.20 = $10.20; +20 GB snapshots = $7 + $1 = $8.
- Are these quotes? Free Tier?
- No. US-class list prices checked on 2026-11-04 (Asia/Shanghai) from aws.amazon.com/lightsail/pricing. Taxes and Free Tier / promo credits are excluded from the default total. Provider pages prevail.
