## Pricing examples
 Example 1:
You have a globally available WordPress website hosted on Amazon Lightsail. This website runs on a $5 / month Linux instance bundle with 1 GB memory, one core processor, a 40 GB SSD disk, and 2 TB transfer. The website uses a CDN distribution to serve content around the world with a year free up to 50 GB, and hosts its static content in a Lightsail object storage bucket with 5 GB storage and 25 GB transfer

**Lightsail charges
WordPress instance = $5 USD / month
CDN distribution = Free first year
Object Storage bucket = $1 USD / month
**Total charges $6 to get your WordPress site delivered around the world
 Example 2:

You have a multi-tier web application running on Lightsail that includes a Nano container service with 0.25 (shared) vCPU and 512 MB of RAM, a load balancer, and a standard managed database with 1 GB of memory, one core processor, a 40 GB SSD Disk, 100 GB Transfer, and no data encryption

Your monthly charges would be as follows:
**Lightsail charges
Container service = $7 USD / month
Database = $15 USD / month
Load balancer = $18 USD / month
**Total charges $40 USD / month
 Example 3:
You ran simulations in RStudio using a Standard XL Lightsail for Research bundle with 4 vCPUs and 8 GB Memory. You also attached an additional 32 GB storage volume (block storage). The simulations were run for 20 hours after which you stopped the bundle, but did not delete the bundle. The bundle was in a stopped state for the rest of the month

**Lightsail charges
Standard XL bundle running = 20 hours x $0.90 USD / hour = $18 USD
Standard XL bundle stopped = 710 hours x $0.00685 USD / hour = $4.86 USD
Block storage = $3.20 USD / month
**Total charges $26.06 USD / month to run your RStudio simulations for 20 hours and attach a 32 GB storage volume
