I am working on a project and was looking to use AWS EC2 lightsail. I was looking to get an instance of Ubuntu 18.04 server with at least 2gb of ram. I made my account and selected the choice that fit the my requirements, when I tried to create my instance I got the following error
"Sorry, your account can not create an instance using this Lightsail plan size. Please try a smaller plan size or contact Customer Support if you need to use a larger plan."
The instance that I tried to start costs $10/month but I had a free account and thus was not allowed to start a plan of this size however I could use the $5/month plan but that system did not meet my needs.
I then looked into subscribing to the cheapest AWS Support tier which was Developer at $29/month this would have allowed me to open the $10/month instance but as you could imagine I could not justify a $39/month for a value of $10/month.
Is there something I am missing here that would allow me to do this more economically or is this not going to work with AWS and if so feel free to shill any other hosting service that provides a better alternative?
