Bump for interest

AWS has a Wordpress service now

>>59011100
Managed WordPress, or WordPress service in the sense that you can set it up on an Ec2 instance?

>>59011121

I work with AWS, you can exploit the free tier. Comfortably run two to three sites with HHVM/LEMP. Seriously easy.

>>59011154
I already do for testing and demo sites, but I'm looking for a managed WP provider for a client. Something I can set up and walk away from.

Any tips for getting a job at AWS?

>>59011100
I like the idea of using AWS, but it seems a lot more complicated than other webhosts. How long would it take me to learn this vs using a dedicated Wordpress host?

About twenty minutes if you can follow instructions, there's a multitude of tutorials out there for it. You really won't run into any trouble man, it's child's play and if you fuck something up, flatten the instance and go for gold again. Protip: make sure you setup a swap partition and set it to remain after a reboot.

>>59011544
It's Iaas so you're responsible for installing and maintaining PHP, MySQL, Apache, WordPress, etc.

There's plenty of tutorials you can find online. It's not hard my man.

>>59007907
you can run wordpress on 128mb with no "lag", fucking retarded people pretending to know about "hosting"

>>59011649

>128mb
>No lag

Fucking retarded people pretending to know about "hosting". Maybe if you're running a default theme with no plugins and the site has no functionality or purpose or use whatsoever. Lay off the methpipe friend.

When I fuck around with the calculator I'm not even entirely sure what I should be punching in.

>>59011680
If your not sure what to enter, tan free tier should be fine for you.

>self hosting wordpress
Don't do it. You will fuck it up and then become part of a botnet.

>>59011709
I know about blogging and building blogs, not all that much about webhosting.

>>59011792
No, it's not.
If you have more than 20 visitors a day, or want to install any themes or plugins, it won't be enough.

>>59011850
prove it

>>59009790
You can tell them to shut you down after X overages, the odds of you getting say, $100 worth of overage visitors in one month is nil (thats 100,000 new users staying 31 seconds or longer, not bots)

You'll get just as raped by any VPS with their data transfer limit, and all those 'unlimited' VPS solutions are trash

I only ever use WPEngine to host client sites, and also refuse the work if it involves any other hosting because they'll just be calling me all the time when shit breaks and it will be a waste of their money paying my hourly rate when they could just shove it on WPEngine and forget about all the hosting details completely.

1k visits can be a few mb to a few hundred, most vpses come with 200gb+ bandwidth, considering 1k hits can be cached, cloudflare's free cdn will save you a shitton of bandwidth as well

>>59011850
You have no idea what you're talking about. Honestly even the barebones VPS he's describing is overkill for hosting a blog. I've hosted plenty of things on shit-tier a VPS, if you know what you're doing it's fine.

this site was just a freebsd box for the longest time, same with 2channel (two freebsd boxes) and 8ch00onz according to Jim's twitter

>>59012114
That may be true, but now we're getting into hosting a private blog vs a site paid for by a client. World of difference there
