WordPress & AWS = High Availability
Perfect Partners for High Availability.
If your business's website is critical and built on WordPress, you need a high-availability solution. High availability ensures your website remains accessible even during 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 for high availability. For example, when delivering high-availability WordPress sites, we choose AWS because of its global data centres. This ensures that your website remains accessible 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.

WordPress is a viable platform for an enterprise-scale client. Whether it's the right choice depends on several factors related to your specific needs and goals.
Keeping your WordPress site secure is not optional - it's essential.
When selecting plugins for your WordPress site, several support risks can arise, particularly regarding long-term maintenance, security, and scalability.
WordPress is great, and you can use many free or low-cost templates to develop your next campaign or business website. While opting to buy a prebuilt template can seem like a quick, cost-effective solution. However, it is important that you understand the advantages and disadvantages of making this decision.
