We’re excited to announce the addition of the AWS Micro Tier plan to our lineup of AWS server options. AWS Micro is backed by T3 instances and comes with 1 GB of RAM and 2 vCPUs.
Starting from $20.50* per server (independent of storage and bandwidth costs), AWS Micro sits below the AWS ‘Small’ capacity tier as the new entrypoint for AWS servers deployable on Cloudways Flexible.
Why AWS Micro?
At Cloudways, we’ve always prided ourselves on our platform’s simplicity and flexibility. One of our core value propositions is the option to launch servers with up to five cloud providers in multiple locations around the world.
Each of these cloud providers offers distinct advantages. Customers who prefer deploying on AWS servers covet their excellent reputation for uptime, stability, and global coverage. Additionally, AWS servers can be easily scaled up and down on Cloudways without requiring cloning.
To date, if you wanted to host an application on Cloudways using AWS, the lowest entry point solution was the AWS Small tier (2 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs), starting at $38.56. Compared to some of the other cloud providers we integrate with (e.g., DO, Vultr, & Linode), the price point was more challenging, especially if you wanted to host a smaller website that didn’t require extra capacity.
With the introduction of the AWS Micro tier plan, customers have the choice of hosting on AWS’ infrastructure, starting from $20.50.
