Production-Grade AWS Infrastructure Without the $20,000 DevOps Bill
I set up EC2, RDS, S3, and CloudFront for WordPress and custom stacks that need real infrastructure, not shared hosting dressed up with a dashboard. You get a server setup that handles traffic spikes, auto-backups, and security hardening from day one.
Hire me and my team at Gatilab for AWS hosting setup backed by 800+ client projects and 16 years of deploying production infrastructure.
- EC2 instance sizing based on your actual traffic patterns
- RDS database with automated backups and failover
- S3 + CloudFront CDN for static assets and media
- SSL certificate setup with auto-renewal via ACM
- Security groups, IAM roles, and access control hardening
- Monitoring and alerting with CloudWatch dashboards
You’re Paying for AWS but Getting Shared Hosting Performance
I’ve seen businesses spend $400/month on AWS and get worse performance than a $30 DigitalOcean droplet. The problem isn’t AWS. It’s the setup. Wrong instance types, no CDN, database running on the same box as the web server, and zero caching configuration. AWS gives you the building blocks. Someone still has to assemble them correctly.
Wrong instance sizing
You’re running a t2.micro for a site with 50,000 monthly visitors, or paying for an m5.xlarge that’s idle 90% of the time.
Database on the same box
Your MySQL instance shares CPU and RAM with your web server. One traffic spike and both crash together.
Open security groups
Port 22 is open to the world. IAM keys are hardcoded in config files. Your S3 bucket is publicly readable.
What You Get
EC2 instance with proper sizing, AMI, and auto-scaling rules
RDS database with Multi-AZ backup and point-in-time recovery
CloudFront CDN with S3 origin for static assets and media
SSL via ACM, security groups, and IAM role configuration
CloudWatch dashboards for CPU, memory, disk, and response time
Alert rules for downtime, high CPU, disk full, and SSL expiry
Automated backup verification with restore test documentation
Deployment runbook and SSH access documentation for your team
How I Work
Assessment
I review your traffic patterns, application stack, and growth projections. You’ll know exactly which AWS services you need and what they’ll cost monthly.
Provision
I set up EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, and security groups. Everything is configured with proper IAM roles, not root credentials.
Deploy
I migrate your application, configure caching, and run load tests to verify the setup handles 3x your current peak traffic.
Handoff
I deliver a runbook covering SSH access, deployment steps, backup restoration, and escalation procedures. Your team can operate independently.
Proof and Outcomes
Migrated a WordPress multisite network (4 sites, 180,000 monthly visitors) from a managed host charging $600/month to an AWS setup with EC2, RDS, and CloudFront. Monthly hosting cost dropped to $185/month. Average page load went from 3.2s to 0.9s. The site handled a 4x traffic spike during a product launch without any manual intervention.
Starting-at Pricing
Price depends on site count, traffic volume, and compliance requirements. AWS costs are separate and billed directly to your account.
Custom scoping available for HIPAA, SOC2, or enterprise compliance requirements.
FAQs
Have a question not listed here? Get in touch and I’ll respond within 24 hours.
How much will AWS cost me per month?
For a single WordPress site with 50,000-150,000 monthly visitors, expect $80-$200/month in AWS costs. I’ll give you a specific estimate during the assessment phase based on your traffic, storage, and bandwidth patterns. No surprises.
Should I use AWS or DigitalOcean?
If you need auto-scaling, managed database failover, or enterprise compliance (HIPAA, SOC2), go with AWS. If you need a solid VPS for a single WordPress site at lower cost and complexity, DigitalOcean is the better fit. I’ll recommend what matches your actual needs, not what generates the bigger invoice.
Can you manage the server ongoing?
I set up monitoring and alerting so your team can handle day-to-day operations. If you need ongoing management, I offer quarterly maintenance retainers that cover security patches, performance tuning, and infrastructure reviews.
