cPanel and Amazon AWS

[Kurogane]

Hi guys,

I want to setup cPanel and Amazon AWS but i'm not sure what Instance Type i need to choose.

I've wordpress site with around 200-1000 concurrent users normally and sometimes peaks upto 2000k when i have a good entry.

So, i need to know what instance i should be take? the idea is not crash my site when i have the peaks, i not want wasted resource, so for example my site is using 1GB RAM and i take 16GB RAM i never going to use and if i use it only used for 1-2h hours per week or Bi-weekly.

What you recommend.

Thanks

It would be good to first establish some baseline and see what resources you actually consume in your normal working condition. Does your blog runs on a server at the moment ? And what resources it is using ?

There is no magic formula, saying for XXXX visitors, you need XXX resources, cause it strongly depends on your site, cms, plugins, database, and so on ...

Hello ,

Yes, First you need to monitor your site resources which you are using and then try to create AWS Instance for your sites. If you want to host some high traffic websites on your server then try to create 8GB VM for your sites.

Another option is using hosting like WP engine. Great customer service, then you don't need to worry about resources.

WordPress Hosting, Perfected. WP Engine®

You end up paying alot for hosting but you get what you pay for. Several clients of mine have really enjoyed wpengine hosting.

Hello,

Keep in mind the official cPanel & WHM AMI for Amazon Linux is available at:

cPanel & WHM: The Hosting Platform of Choice on AWS Marketplace

Note that currently it's only offered for cPanel version 11.52, so you will need to update to cPanel 56 after installing the image. More information on using an Amazon Linux AMI is available at:

Amazon Linux - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

Thank you.
