AWS is best for small businesses with a technical founder or developer on staff who needs serious, scalable infrastructure. The pay-as-you-go pricing means you can start for just a few dollars a month, but the complexity is real — without someone who knows what they're doing, you can end up with surprise bills or security gaps. If you just need to host a website or run basic apps, simpler tools like Squarespace or Heroku will save you a lot of headaches.
