The prices are better than EC2 machines, for instance, because they are simplified management, but it works well, and I am able to run everything that I need on it. The flat-rate pricing model of Lightsail allows you to select the size of the virtual machine, and although there aren't too many options, at the time I chose there were about five sizes available. I selected a middle-size option, which costs around $20 a month. This is a very good price, especially for the US East region. For my budget, this was a suitable option because, in comparison, EC2 from AWS would have been much more expensive. Although EC2 offers a lot of additional benefits in terms of configuration, if I don't require those extra configurations and features for our environment, and I just need to deploy it with some protection from the internet, Lightsail works well.

It's very cheap. For the services it provides, it's even cheaper than DigitalOcean, I would say. It comes along with a free tier option for three months, so that's wonderful for any small business to even test their infrastructure.

The services that it provides are good for the price.
