Amazon Lightsail is the easiest way to get started with AWS for developers who just need virtual private servers. Lightsail includes everything you need to launch your project quickly – a virtual machine, SSD-based storage, data transfer, DNS management, and a static IP – for a low, predictable price. You manage those Lightsail servers through the Lightsail console or by using the API or command-line interface (CLI).
HeadSoft Consulting can help you switch your servers to use the simpler and more efficient Amazon Lightsail.

Unlimited growth, unlimited potential
[/fusion_title]
Many of the AWS platform’s 90+ services can be connected to your Lightsail application using VPC peering. You can manage these powerful AWS services from the AWS management console, while still keeping your day-to-day VPS management in the Lightsail console. It’s the best of both worlds!

- Managed databases (RDS, DynamoDB)
- Content delivery network (CloudFront)
- Object storage (S3)
- Dozens of other services
