- Yes. Using our Developer plan, you can automate snapshots of your LightSail server and volumes for free. There are no hidden charges, and you don't need a credit card to signup.
- How much free storage is included?
- Since snapshots are stored within your LightSail account, we don't count that toward your plan storage limit. In short, you can create as many snapshots as you like.
