Are you looking for a reliable and cost-effective way to host your WordPress website?

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the entire process, from setting up your AWS account to migrating your WordPress site.

Why Migrate to AWS Free Tier?
Migrating your WordPress site to AWS not only provides you with a robust and scalable hosting solution but can also save you significant money. The AWS Free Tier gives you up to 750 hours of EC2 compute time per month, enough to run your site continuously for a year, all for free. This makes it an ideal solution for small to medium-sized websites or applications.
Step 1: Sign Up for AWS Free Tier
The first step is to sign up for a new AWS account. It’s important to note that the Free Tier is only available for new accounts, so if you don’t have one yet, you’ll need to create it now. You can sign up using this link to get started.
Step 2: Set Up Your EC2 Instance
Once you have your AWS account, you’ll need to set up an EC2 instance to host your WordPress site. Here’s how:
Launch Instance: Review your settings and launch the instance.
Navigate to EC2: Search for EC2 in the AWS Management Console and click “Launch Instance.”
Choose Your OS: Select Ubuntu 22.04, which is compatible with the latest version of the control panel I’ll be installing.
Select Instance Type: Choose the t2.micro instance type, which is eligible for the Free Tier.
Configure Security: Create a key pair for SSH access, allow HTTP and HTTPS traffic, and restrict SSH access to your IP address for security.
Storage Settings: Set the storage to the maximum allowed under the Free Tier (30GB) and select the gp3 volume type for better performance.
Step 3: Install WordPress on Your EC2 Instance
After setting up your EC2 instance, the next step is to install WordPress using the All-in-One WP Migration plugin:
DNS Setup: Point your domain to the new IP address and verify the changes using whatismydns.net.
SSH into Your Instance: Use PuTTY or another SSH client to log in to your EC2 instance.
Install CyberPanel: Follow the official CyberPanel documentation to install the control panel on your instance.
Migrate Your Site: Upload your WordPress site using the All-in-One WP Migration plugin, ensuring everything is configured correctly.
Step 4: Final Configuration and Testing
Before launching your site, you’ll want to ensure everything is functioning properly:
Final Checks: Test your site to ensure it’s live and running smoothly. Adjust your permalinks in WordPress and clear your cache to finalize the setup..
Check CyberPanel: Log into CyberPanel to verify that all settings are correct.
Fix Potential Issues: If you encounter any problems, such as the CyberPanel not loading, you may need to adjust your AWS security group settings.
