## About

Simple virtual private servers and managed hosting for small projects

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria. Verified in February 2026 that the Amazon Lightsail product page, including pricing, features, and documentation, loads fully from a Syrian connection, but the AWS console shows an Access Restricted geo-block, so account creation and login are blocked. The status was set to limited on this basis, and no outreach to the company is recorded for Lightsail yet.

The product page at aws.amazon.com/lightsail loads fully, including pricing, features, and documentation. However, the AWS Console at console.aws.amazon.com displays an "Access Restricted" page: "Your access is being restricted because you appear to be located in a country or region where we do not provide services." Account creation and login are blocked. Status updated from blocked to limited.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
