Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Web Services
For launching in-house and clients' websites, we are using Amazon Lightsail (Plesk Ubuntu instance). Needless to say there is never an issue with AWS hosting. This is cost-effective as well since with each instance of Amazon Lightsail Plesk Ubuntu instance, 3 websites can be launched. There is a free version of Plesk Ubuntu (Web Admin edition) that we are using. This means we only need to pay AWS Lightsail hosting fee which starts with 3.5$ per month.
- Launching WordPress websites with Amazon Lightsail
- AWS Activate that provides host of credits for startups
- More plugins expected from AWS for WordPress website users. For instance, earlier there used to be Amazon Polly plugin that would seamlessly convert all blogposts into audio. The same plugin is no more supported.
- Reduced our WordPress hosting cost by around one-fifth without compromise on quality.
- Helped us secure numerous startup credits from AWS itself as well their partners listed on AWS Activate.
AWS appears most price competitive. With Google Cloud, faced a number of problems pertaining to accessing admin control and had to abandon.
