Is AWS cheaper than hosting?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 5:24 pm

AWS, Amazon Web Services, is a cloud computing platform that offers lower costs for compute, storage, networking, and other resources than traditional hosting providers. In a study by Gemalto, AWS was found to be cheaper than hosting providers on a per-month basis in most cases. The only exception was for managed services, where AWS was found to be more expensive.

PRO TIP: AWS is not necessarily cheaper than hosting, and it is important to compare the cost of both options before making a decision.

However, the per-month cost for AWS may be lower if you are able to reduce the number of resources used. For example, if you reduce the number of servers or storage used, then the cost per month for AWS may be lower.

Overall, AWS is cheaper than hosting providers on a per-month basis in most cases. However, managed services may be more expensive.
