Amazon Web Services (AWS) Review

Amazon Web Services (AWS) at a glance

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the cloud computing platform operated by Amazon, launched in 2006 and headquartered in the United States. Rather than traditional shared web hosting, AWS provides on-demand cloud hosting and virtual-server infrastructure that customers configure and scale themselves. The brief documents 19 cloud hosting plans priced from about $3.07/month up to enterprise-scale configurations, plus 16 VPS-style plans starting from about $5/month, with SSD and NVMe storage options available.

AWS’s defining feature is its global reach: infrastructure spans dozens of regions across the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and beyond, with more than 60 locations referenced in total. Support is provided through email, a knowledge base, and video resources rather than live chat or phone. Payment is accepted via Amazon Pay, credit card, or eCheck. AWS suits developers, businesses, and enterprises that need configurable cloud infrastructure rather than a simple managed shared-hosting package.
