AWS Lightsail vs AWS EC2: which is cheaper, traffic included?
Pick what you run and enter your monthly traffic. We work out a full monthly bill for every VPS and cloud plan: the traffic the plan includes, what you pay beyond that, and what object storage and a CDN would add. The cheapest complete setup comes first.
What are you running?
Server size
Images, downloads, video: files that are the same for everyone. Object storage or a CDN can send them instead of your server, so they don't use its traffic.
