Mr. Li, who runs a cross-border e-commerce business, recently reached out to me. He mentioned that his company spent a whopping $480,000lastyearonAmazonWebServices(AWS)alonetosupporttheirglobalexpansion.Itwasn’tuntilIhelpedhimreviewthebillthatherealized:threeserversintheNorthAmericaregionhadbeenidleforfourmonths,andthestorageserviceinEuropewasonapremiumplanwhenthebasictierwouldhavesufficed.Intheend,hehadunnecessarilywasted$120,000 in one year—and this is far from an isolated case. So many companies expanding overseas face "hidden waste" in their cloud costs. It’s not that they chose the wrong cloud provider; it’s that they haven’t found the right partner to help them save money and avoid pitfalls.

We’ve been in the Amazon operations agency business for fourteen years now. From initially helping clients set up overseas independent websites to later resolving cloud server stability issues, and now serving as official agents for AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Cloud, we’ve seen countless companies overspend on cloud services. Some firms ended up purchasing servers in three extra regions due to misconfiguration, even though they only needed two. Others ran high-spec servers year-round with half the resources idle, wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual service fees.

There’s nothing wrong with choosing AWS—as the global leader in public cloud, it boasts over 90 availability zones across 30+ regions. For businesses expanding overseas, using AWS can reduce user access latency to mere milliseconds, significantly faster than many domestic clouds’ overseas nodes. But the key is how to purchase without wasting money.

Let’s start with the most direct benefit: by procuring AWS servers through us, you can get an official authorized 15% discount. Don’t underestimate that 15%—if your annual cloud budget is 100,000,yousave15,000; if it’s 500,000,thediscountalonesavesyou75,000. But we never rely solely on discounts to attract clients. What’s more important is helping businesses optimize costs.

We once had a client in the tool-based SaaS industry with an annual cloud budget of 520,000.WereviewedalltheirserverusagerecordsandfoundthattwoserversinSoutheastAsiahadn’tbeenusedforthreemonths,CPUutilizationinNorthAmericawasconsistentlybelow40280,000, saving them $240,000—enough to hire three additional overseas operations staff or run another round of overseas ads.

Another common question: Do you have to pay international cloud providers directly? Not necessarily. Most international clouds operate on an "agency payment model": you transfer the funds to us, and we top up your official account on the same day. Every transaction comes with an official bill from AWS or Google Cloud, so you don’t have to deal with foreign exchange transfers or wait for payments to clear. One cross-border e-commerce client used to pay AWS directly, which involved a week-long wait for currency conversion and additional fees. Now, with our agency payment service, funds are credited the same day, and they save on transaction costs.

You might wonder: Do you only work with AWS? No, we’re also official agents for Google Cloud and Microsoft Cloud. If your business requires multi-cloud setups—for example, AWS in North America, Google Cloud in Europe, and Microsoft Cloud in Southeast Asia—we can handle it all for you. No need to coordinate with three different agents, and if issues arise later, our technical team provides one-stop support instead of you having to contact each provider separately.

Over the past fourteen years, we’ve built a "dual-support" team: On the business side, we proactively update you on contract negotiations, discount applications, and renewal reminders, so you don’t have to track deadlines. On the technical side, our 24/7 team responds within 10 minutes for issues like server failures, slow access, or configuration adjustments. One social app client experienced a server outage in Europe late at night; our engineers identified the issue in 15 minutes and restored service within half an hour, avoiding any impact on user activity the next day.

For Chinese companies expanding overseas, choosing a cloud server isn’t just about "buying a tool"—it’s about selecting a "long-term partner." If you’re currently weighing AWS discounts or looking to optimize your existing cloud costs, whether it’s about business cooperation details or technical configuration issues, feel free to reach out. Lately, many clients have been coming to us with questions, and we take each one seriously. After all, having been in this industry for so long, we understand the challenges of global expansion. Helping everyone save money and avoid detours means more to us than anything else.
