Amazon Lightsail customers

By using Amazon Lightsail, we can innovate quickly and cost effectively with a small IT staff while managing our customer’s small business environment. We migrated our customer from an on-premises environment due to a ransomware attack. On Amazon Lightsail, we have we spun up 7 mostly large Windows instances to run a Webserver, Dev/Test environments, custom manufacturing, and accounting applications leveraging predictable pricing. As we continue to grow, we are looking to expand into broader AWS services, like customized networking and security.

We enjoy hosting our gaming services on Amazon Lightsail not only for its ease of use and low-cost, predictable pricing, but also because it is built on the AWS platform. So, our customers can enjoy playing games with each other across the world with low latency, which provides a great customer experience.

We service the AM Law 200 firms for legal translation services and we need a platform that provides security, availability, and simplicity for our customers. We turned to Amazon Lightsail to get started with our cloud journey as it is easy to use and the costs are predictable. As we were hit with the COVID-impact, we had to enable remote working capabilities. Since we chose AWS as our cloud platform, we sought services to help remote workers stay connected. We expanded beyond Amazon Lightsail and leveraged Amazon Workspaces and Amazon S3 to keep our business operational in a distributed environment. We have offices in Houston, Boston, San Francisco, and London and AWS provides global availability, which is key for our business long term. In the future as we take on new projects, we will continue to leverage AWS services as it meets our business requirements and enables us to collaborate with our customers. We would recommend Amazon Lightsail as an easy, secure, and cost-effective way to get started with AWS.

We migrated 20+ customers of our VoIP SaaS platform to Amazon Lightsail, saving over 40% compared to our previous provider. Our customers now benefit from VoIP cost predictability thanks to Lightsail pricing. New customers are implemented in 15 minutes, which used to take up to 8 hours. Our VoIP specialized technicians are now empowered to manage the cloud environment due to Lightsail's panel intuitivity, allowing our cloud architects to focus on where their skills impact the most. This success brought us new ideas where we could leverage Amazon Lightsail, such as the possibility to make digital education solutions more affordable.

I started Gossh because we found that small businesses struggle with creating an online presence due to costs and complexity of the available solutions. There are some web hosting solutions that are simple to use but they tend to lock in small businesses to their solution, so if you decided to move to another provider, it’s not always possible. I wanted Gossh to be different and that’s why I chose Amazon Lightsail because it provided me with the flexiblity, scalability, and simple interface to create my solution. Now my customers can get started in minutes and run their website on a reliable platform. Finding Lightsail has been a real life saver. I would highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking to get started with the cloud and doesn’t have the technical background. Lightsail also allows you to leverage other AWS services as my business grows.

We were unhappy with our existing online presence and as the pandemic hit we needed to make changes. We wanted to update the website and provide a customer experience that was more appealing and user-friendly. We found AED and Nub8 to be great partners in providing an affordable website solution our customers enjoy. Amazon Lightsail in particular provides a highly reliable site that keeps our business running, so we can focus on making dance accessible to our audience. As a small business we would recommend partnering with Nub8 and Amazon Lightsail to get started fast on a reliable cloud platform.

I been focused on web development and in particular WordPress for several years working on side projects and hobbies. I often get asked by people, many who run small businesses, on the best way to host websites and love recommending Amazon Lightsail as it’s an easy way to setup a WordPress site for a low, predictable price. To help reach a wider audience and help those that are new to hosting, I’ve put together web hosting solutions and posted them on my YouTube channel. These solutions cover multiple AWS services (e.g., Lightsail, Route53, SES, S3, CDN) focused on solving small business challenges. I chose Amazon Lightsail because small businesses don’t always have the technical expertise to get started, and have limited budgets. Lightsail is a great way to get comfortable with the cloud and expand to other AWS services once you are ready.

Gourmet uses Amazon Lightsail as their main service to spin up development environments, and to host an inventory management web application.

We are pioneers in developing educational and teaching resources for effective teaching and learning. We migrated our digital content and platform onto AWS in 2020, and chose Amazon Lightsail as our primary cloud host because it is easy to use and its predictable and affordable pricing made it a very compelling choice. We run learning management systems (LMS) for our customer schools, mostly on T2 instance types for its cost-efficiency during staging. As those customers’ needs scale and move into production, we are able to easily migrate them to compute and memory-optimized instances on Amazon EC2. We are impressed with the versatility that Amazon offers in terms of Lightsail and EC2 and would recommend others to seriously consider them.

We help researchers with a wide range of computing resources from on-premises to cloud computing. We turned to Amazon Lightsail for running Omeka, a content management system used by researchers, as it’s very easy to set up, requires minimal effort to maintain, and is great for simple web application projects. We got our our web application up and running the same day we opened an AWS billing account for our client. It leaves our options open for scaling up or connecting to other cloud services as needed, if the project grows quickly. We are already considering moving additional web applications over to Amazon Lightsail as it offers pre-built blueprints such as Drupal, WordPress, Joomla, and others. Amazon Lightsail is an easy, secure, and cost-effective way to get started with AWS.

The tools available to us via Amazon Lightsail help us capture useful data used to understand a client’s parking customers and tailor our services to optimize performance and capabilities to fit each location.

We are a startup that was looking for a reliable, secure, and global platform to develop our online truck rental service. We migrated our entire platform to Amazon Lightsail from another cloud provider in 2019 because it's a VPS provider and globally available. We currently host our platform that includes frontend applications, web services, databases in the Singapore Region, which results in low web application latencies and a great customer experience. As our workloads scale, we are considering VPC peering from Amazon Lightsail to EC2. It is great to know that we can take full advantage of the hundreds of AWS services migrating from existing instance to EC2 via VPC peering. We highly recommend Amazon Lightsail as a cost-effective, secure, and easy way to get started with AWS.

What’s great about being built on AWS is that our company can offer a broad and growing range of labs to support the learning community.
