WordPress & AWS = High Availability

Perfect Partners for High Availability.

If your website is critical for your business and built on WordPress, you need a high-availability solution. High availability ensures that your website remains accessible even in the event of hardware failures, software issues, or unexpected traffic spikes.

WordPress powers over 40% of websites, and since 2008, we've built campaign sites, corporate websites, and customer portals on the platform. However, in our experience, traditional hosting solutions limit WordPress’s potential and increase your risks, which is where AWS comes in.
 
We combine WordPress with Amazon Web Services (AWS)'s robust infrastructure and services to deliver high availability to meet our clients’ business demands = no downtime, lost revenue, or reduced customer trust.


AWS: Delivering the Backbone of High Availability

 
AWS is a leading cloud computing platform with a robust infrastructure designed for high availability. For example, when delivering high-availability WordPress sites we choose AWS for its global data centres, ensuring your website remains accessible even during server failures or traffic spikes.
 

Key AWS Services for High Availability

  • Amazon EC2 - Scalable virtual servers adapt to varying traffic loads.
  • Amazon S3 - Reliable and scalable storage for your website assets.
  • Amazon RDS - Managed databases with automated backups and high availability.
  • Amazon CloudFront - A global CDN that accelerates website load times.
  • Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) - Distributes traffic across multiple servers to prevent overloads.
  • Auto Scaling - Automatically adjusts server resources based on traffic demand.
 

The Synergy Between WordPress and AWS 


Deploying WordPress on AWS maximises the strengths of both platforms, ensuring your website handles daily traffic fluctuations and unexpected surges while maintaining high availability.

The benefits of the WordPress-AWS combination include:

  • Scalability - AWS’s auto-scaling handles traffic spikes without performance issues.
  • Redundancy - Multiple data centres minimise downtime.
  • Security - AWS’s security features, including DDoS protection, safeguard your website.
  • Global Reach - Fast content delivery worldwide enhances the user experience.
  • Cost Efficiency - Pay-as-you-go pricing optimises costs.
