# Selecting an Amazon Lightsail pricing plan
<a name="selecting-an-amazon-lightsail-pricing-plan"></a>

 A [Lightsail plan](https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/pricing/) defines the monthly cost of the Lightsail resources you use to host your WordPress website. There are a number of plans available to cover a variety of use cases, with varying levels of CPU resource, memory, solid-state drive (SSD) storage, and data transfer. If your website is complex, you may need a larger instance with more resources. You can achieve this by migrating your server to a larger plan [using the web console](https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/how-to/article/lightsail-how-to-create-instance-from-snapshot) or as described in the [Amazon Lightsail CLI documentation](https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/how-to/article/lightsail-how-to-create-larger-instance-from-snapshot-using-aws-cli).
