- CloudFlare
- Highly recommended for free security, caching/CDN, and basic firewall/page rules
- Sign up for free account here: https://dash.cloudflare.com/sign-up
- AWS as WordPress Host
- Does not come with Email capabilities by default. Must use either AWS WorkMail or AWS SES
- AWS SES set up required domain validation, and then time for AWS Support to move the account out of SandBox mode (This can take 3-7 days alone)
- LightSail recommended for new users to Virtual Private Servers (VPS)
- EC2 recommended for clients familiar with Linux
- In most cases, a Bitnami image will be used; however, can create LAMP stack for additional fees.
- Security and Maintenance
- See CloudFlare above
- WordFence plugin recommended, although it can be resource intensive
- Update Plugins and WordPress Core as frequently as possible. Maintenance plans are offered for additional fees.
- Backups
- Client responsible for configuration backups
- Recommend UpDraft Plus (Free Plugin) syncing backups to off-server storage such as AWS S3
- Migration Process
- Downtime will be minimized; however, when performing migrations, DNS Propagation times are a factor, as well as the amount of time it takes to migrate content. Sites with a large number of images/posts/products, will inherently take longer to migrate.
- Install and configure “Coming Soon” Plugin and activate Maintenance Page
- Backup current WordPress Site
- Plugins: All In One Migration, UpDraft Plus
- Manual: Copy main WordPress Folder, Dump Database
- Switch Domain DNS to new host (WordPress Site will have same “Coming Soon” page configured
- Configure Let’s Encrypt SSL (where applicable) – Domain must be pointed to new host to configure SSL
- Import WordPress Backup to new host
- Configure Email Plugin
- AWS SES Lite
- WP SMTP Mail
- Test email functionality and technical checkout of site
- Remove Maintenance Page
**Client is responsible for all hosting fees.
