    Use AWS Lightsail, pretty easy to use and you can get a instance around 3USD per month. (It's more than enough for a site with 1K views per month). It has Bitnami WordPress stack, minimal configuration and set up process. Select your instance location carefully!

    ඇමසන් නම් ජරාවක්, Billing හරිහැටි ක්ලියර් නෑ. යූසේජ් එක අනුව වෙනස් වෙන්න පුලුවන්. හොදම දේ එක්කො Google Cloud හරි Digital Ocean වල හොස්ට් කරන එක. මං Digital Ocean වලට මාරු වුනා.

    It's not Amazon's fault machan, they have structured pricing calculator. Google Cloud is expensive, Digital Oceans latency is too much/not flexible. Lightsail has fixed fee structure, 3.5USD per month (not calculated by hour) .50USD for Route53 hosted DNS zone. So total 4.5USD per month (Hosted zones has free query limit)

    EDIT: Route53 1USD to 0.5USD - Query pricing -$0.4 per million queries for the first billion queries / month, thereafter $0.2 per million queries / month

    Now, here's an answer!
    Could you spare a few minutes to explain these to me please? What exactly is an instance? In layman's terms please. AWS says create an instance, and so much but
    Is Bitnami WP different from the standard WP we usually use on other hosting services?
    Thanks a lot.

    AWS Instance means, virtual computer on their compute infrastructure. Bitnami Stacks: they are pre-installed, preconfigured software package to minimize server administration workload.
    Ex: If you go with AWS EC2, you will have to choose an OS, to install WordPress on this instance you have to install few softwares (LEMP/LAMP) to make this a web server. Then setup rules, file permission, SSL, ton of stuff to do. Bitnami stacks remove this hassle. Basically what they have is bash scripts to automatically install everything you need to get started with your desired web application. (You can still use EC2 with ready made machine images - AMI)

    EC2 vs LightSail
    If you go with EC2, you get more freedom with expanding your web applications (Scaling, Load Balancing), it's for advance users. Lightsail offers simplified solutions for users like you who have no idea how to manage a server. (You still need to learn how to use SSH).

    Lightsail vs Shared Hosting
    I have to write an article now, I'll explain this as simple as I can.
    You get more control over the hosting environment, on shared hosting (Some offers SSH but limited commands) you can't have server side control . Lightsail offers that.
    Ex: Shared hosting doesn't have MEMCACHE? oh NVM. Lightsail: Bam! SSH to Lightsail instance install MEMCACHE. NEED specific PHP extension? BAM installed!

    P.S. Most importantly you can get great performance with AWS over shared hosting (Not managed hosting)

    Thanks a lot for taking time to clear the concepts for me. I honestly didn't know a thing about the "instances" and now I guess I know what it means. I wonder why Amazon makes it so hard to understand, lol. They think they explain it but they fail to understand that the problem is their terminology which cannot be understood by aliens like me. :D

    Please mchan, Publish a post series about AWS services. Most of articles on the internet are not up to date.

    Machan, they just handle server side and technical issues. To manage a server, you need to have an idea about server administration. That's why shared hosting exist. They didn't make it harder, they need to take this to end users like you, that's why they introduce a service like Lightsail. It's just AWS is for "experts"

    Please mchan, Publish a post series about AWS services. Most of articles on the internet are not up to date.
    Sure thing will do. I'll do a thread about using Lightsail and other AWS services like S3, Cloudfront. I'm hardly an expert on this subject. I'll do my best!
