  1. How to Install WordPress on AWS

  2. INTRODUCTION WordPress is the most popular CMS available today. And part of the reason behind that is the amount of choice you have when using it. At least when you’re using the self- hosted version. And hosting is one of the first choices you’ll need to make after choosing and registering your domain name.

  3. How to Install WordPress on AWS AWS stands for Amazon Web Services. Yes, that Amazon! They are a subsidiary of the giant retailer, and they offer a range of cloud computing platforms. Not that long ago, anyone who was interested in how to install WordPress on AWS would have been thinking about installing it on one of their Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). This is a service that provides scalable computing capacity in the cloud. In 2016 Amazon announced Amazon Lightsail as direct competition for virtual private servers such as DigitalOcean. And just like other VPSs, it offers a package that includes a server, storage space, and data transfer limits. It's generated a lot of interest with many deciding they would install WordPress on AWS instead of using shared hosting.

  4. Who Should Use Amazon Lightsail Before we get into how to install WordPress on AWS, let’s talk about whether or not this is a service that everyone should use. AWS Lightsail Pros Fixed pricing When compared to EC2, which often left users shocked at unexpected costs, Lightsail’s fixed-priced model means no surprises. Current prices are from US$3.50 per month for 512 MB of memory and 20 GB SSD of storage all the way up to US$160 per month for 32 GB of memory and 640 GB SSD of storage.

  5. Scalability If your website or application grows in size and that smaller instance (server) you started with is no longer sufficient for your needs, you can scale up. You simply choose an upgraded plan and migrate everything without any loss of data. Networking made easy Lightsail takes the challenge out of DNS settings and static IPs. From the dashboard, simply choose Networking, and in a few easy clicks, make the changes you need.

  6. AWS Lightsail Cons It’s not for enterprise-size workloads If you’re sold on the ease of use and the pricing, I hate to break this to you. Lightsail is marketed toward smaller-scale workloads. This means you need to look at EC2, which can handle a site or application that could have thousands of users in a day.

  7. Should You Install WordPress Apps + OS or OS Only? Before getting to the how-to install WordPress on AWS Lightsail tutorial, I want to point out some options and limitations. When you’re creating your instance— VPS—you are given the option to select a blueprint that your server will be built upon. You can go the easy route and select Apps + OS > WordPress or you can choose OS Only. For the sake of this tutorial, I’m recommending and providing a walkthrough of the Apps + OS option.

  8. How to Install WordPress on AWS Lightsail Set up an AWS Account Head to the Lightsail home page to get started. This will redirect you to the AWS portal where you create an account for all of the AWS services. It’s a bit of a process but complete the steps and be sure to document everything. Create an Instance Your Lightsail Instance is your virtual private server that will live in the AWS Cloud. Click Create Instance.

  9. Connect to Your Instance As soon as you select Create Instance you will be redirected to your Lightsail Dashboard. You’ll see the instance you just created, but it will be pending. Set up a Static IP Address The next isn’t a necessary step when it comes to how to install WordPress on AWS, but I do recommend it. If you keep the public IP address you were assigned, it will change every time you stop and start your instance. This is a giant pain because it means you need to keep updating your DNS records.

  10. Create DNS Zone Now for the final step of how to install WordPress on AWS Lightsail. Your website is ready, but you need to point it to your custom domain name Head back to the main Lightsail dashboard and select the Networking tab from the menu. From there, select the orange Create DNS Zone button, then scroll down and enter your domain name in the field. On the next page, you will get a list of name servers.
