You can host approximately 265 sites on an Amazon Lightsail Instance with this system. It does not offer email services. There is a workaround which I explain at the bottom of this post.

Step 1 Signup for Amazon Web Services.

Step 2 Go to Light Sail, choose “create an instance”.

There is a ‘follow along’ video at the bottom of this post.

Step 3

Pick Instance Zone (I use Ohio because its in the middle of the country)

Pick your Size of Instance and features.

Pick Linux/Unix & OS Only

Pick latest version of Ubuntu

Create an SSH key pair and download yours.

Choose a pricing plan.

Give your instance a name

Then hit Create Instance and wait…

Step 4

Once the instance is Running, Click the 3 stacked dots and choose MANAGE

Click on Networking

Under the IP address, choose “Attach static IP”

Give it a name (I usually keep it the same as the Instance Name)

Create and attach.

Continue

Reboot

Document your new IP address

Choose Connect Menu & Connect using SSH

Step 5 Run Updates for Ubuntu

Paste this:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Wait for it to finish (5 minutes later) then type sudo reboot

Close the window and wait about 2 minutes for it to finish the upgrade

Connect using SSH again

Step 6 Run the CyberPanel install

Paste this:

sudo su - -c "sh <(curl https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh || wget -O - https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh)"

Wait again,,,

CyberPanel Installer v2.1.2
RAM check : 184/981MB (18.76%)
Disk check : 7/30GB (27%) (Minimal 10GB free space)

1. Install CyberPanel with OpenLiteSpeed.
2. Install with LiteSpeed Enterprise.

Type 1 (enter)

Create a password (make it good)

WARNING: Lightsail does not allow you to send emails from the server. HOWEVER: You can add an SMTP plugin to your wordpress sites and then this plugin can send emails from your WordPress installation.
