Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing. Why can't we just create an A record with the existing domain registrar instead of transferring the domain to AWS? Is it mandatory? And do you know if there is any user friendly control panel available for wordpress for the AWS?
This is an amazing video thank you for this! One thing I do want to ask what if I already have a Wordpress site and I'm trying to move it from Bluehost to AWS?
Hi Bala, I'm sure this is possible, but may require some work on your part. There may be some tutorials out there, I found this one which looks promising: thetravellingsquid.com/2019/05/24/wordpress-site-from-bluehost-to-amazon-lightsail/ Hope this helps!
Hi thanks for this great tutorial, do you have a "part 2" in order to add SSL to my site? (based no this same method using route53, lightsail & wordpress.
Hi German, I haven't put together that video yet - however I used a tool called 'LetsEncrypt' to make SSL happen. There's a wordpress plugin you can use + tutorial websites that are available online. Hope this helps!
Its 4 years after the video posted... I got my site up on lightsail, but it was a confusing chaotic process.. the lightsail ui and docs were a disappointment. But great video.
Great video - I have a query about static IP - I created a new Wordpress instance and I want to attach a previous static IP address to the new Wordpress instance. Can't seem to figure out how - help!
Great Tutorials! Thanks! My Question: If my WordPress website user increases significantly fast. Can the system handle huge amounts of user requests? Can I use the benefit of AWS auto-expand products, such as EC2 solve the concern when my business needed it? Create an instance when user requestion reaching the bottleneck? Reduce computer power when some instances are idle? Can I put WordPress into a container such as a docker?
Hey Jerry, you can certainly add more compute nodes + a load balancer to scale horizontally to meet more customer traffic. Alternatively, you can also choose to upgrade the power of your existing compute nodes. Either way, Lightsail offers mechanisms so your website can scale as your customer base grows. You can potentially put your wordpress setup in a docker container and have a database hosting your content separately. However this is a lot of work to setup and maintain. I like lightsail because it simplifies the approach and lets you worry more about your website content instead of configuration/scaling. Hope this helps, Daniel
If you want to be able to auto scale your site to meet demand you should do a full AWS production deployment. You'd need to include the following in your architecture: Application load balancer, auto scaling group, RDS (for a scalable database), and Amazon EFS (for a scalable file server). Without the file server, anytime you make a change to one instance you'll have to go into every other instance to make the same change. The cloud is about decoupling the layers of an application to avoid any single point of failure bringing down your application. This is the true power of AWS. I'd also recommend learning CloudFormation (Infrastructure as Code) to automate the implementation and upgrading of your cloud infrastructure. Lightsail is really intended for developers and small deployments. I'm a former Cisco systems engineer and network architect but now I'm an AWS Solutions Architect focusing on cloud security. There's an AWS white paper on deploying a scalable Wordpress architecture in AWS. I hope this helps.

24:15 A CNAME can never point to an IP address. So that's not going to work. Also I'm very curious if a static IP would have been necessary as you probably just could couple the DNS record to your lightsail instance right away in Route53. That would only be useful for external DNS hosting.
Thanks for pointing this out! Yes I had the same suspicion of the static IP of the instance and whether the default ip could have been used instead. I couldn't find out online if the ip would change in case a hardware failure so assumed the static ip must solve for this problem.
@@BeABetterDev Great stuff!. coming to using static IP, Lightsail documentation says the following "If you stop or restart your instance without first creating a static IP address, you will lose your IP address when your instance restarts." so, using a static IP is wise.

Can we migrate the full e-commerce website along with the database From Hostgator shared hosting to AWS Lightsail or EC2? If yes then what is the best way to do that with minimum downtime.
Thanks so much for this awesome video. If I may ask, can I migrate a site built on lightsail to an EC2 instance if the project workload eventually gets a lot bigger than what's not appropriate with lightsail?
Hi there, Yes this is definitely possible! In fact, it is even supported directly in the Lightsail console. There is a workflow you can go through to export a snapshot and import it directly onto an EC2 instance. Check out this link aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/lightsail-export-linux-instance-ec2/
@@BeABetterDev I just copied the following statement from AWS instruction for the migration: "IP addresses can't be transferred from Lightsail to Amazon EC2. Amazon EC2 instances that are created from exported Lightsail instances have a different IP address." How do we then resolve our already established static IP after migration since we won't obviously be able to move our static IP from lightsail over?

Thank you for the Tutorial. I might transfer my website from another webhost to AWS lightsail. Would you happen to know if the $3.5 package is only for one website or you can use multiple website and domains. I have fairly two small websites and it will greatly help if I can host them with the cheapest plan. Thank you.
Thanks for the tutorial, I want to create a website that sits on AWS and has several types of files available for HTTP and HTTPS file transfer to specific users. it should also upload files (put/push). it is a use case for my network throughput testing purposes. please can you help?
so for each individual website there will be a separate instance and separate cost of 3.50 ? unlike in shared hosting they allow us sometimes multiple sites (wp) within one hosting cost we way ?
Good day I had a Wordpress website on lightsail free tier. I decided to stop the lightsail from running because I had not attached a domain name yet and I did not have an elastic IP, by the time I started the lightsail again, the IP had changed. Now I can’t access the Wordpress admin because looks like everything has changed. What can I do?
Still CNAME piece is not working, I got the static IP for wordpress but Route53 can't flow the request to the domain. I guess yours worked because of being cached on your browser. Would you explain last steps? Also lightsail added a new tab to add recordset to hosted zone which made more confusion why there are two places for managing dns
Thanks.... Very helpful walk-through. Please consider doing one for the WordPress Multisite and Migrating a website from GoDaddy. TH-cam has them, but nowhere near as clear as your video. Like and subscribed---I have a lot to learn.
Hi thomas, I can't tell from the console if this is possible or not. However, you could always snapshot your instance and update it on the machine in the new region. Hope this helps.

Hey Abiraj, Check out the documentation here: aws.amazon.com/lightsail/faq/ "Also referred to as a bundle, a Lightsail plan includes a virtual private server with a fixed amount of memory (RAM) and compute (vCPUs), SSD-based storage (disks), and a data transfer allowance. Lightsail plans also offer static IP addresses (5 per account) and DNS management (3 domain zones per account). Lightsail plans are charged on an hourly, on-demand basis, so you only pay for a plan when you're using it." Static IP addresses are free up to a limit of 5 per account. hope this helped!

Thank you for the video. But it seems to me that buying a host from Amazon in 22 is not as profitable as before. We switched from them to G-core labs, very satisfied with the price and quality. Real discovery, very good company.
Thank you for the tutorial--this was an incredibly helpful walkthrough. I noticed my website states that it is "not secure" and even prompts me with a warning before continuing to the website if I haven't visited for a while. What should I do to secure my website and ensure this prompt does not keep others from visiting?
As far as I know the best way to do that is to get an sdl certificate through aws and then use a load balancer to distribute that ssl certificate. I'm not 100% sure if this is the best or cheapest way to do this but it's one of the ways I know how to do this.

Can I ask why you are trying to do this?
Hope this helps
If you're in Germany pick Germany and if you're in Paris, pick Paris? Can you go over that again, please?

Thank you for the tutorial--this was an incredibly helpful walkthrough. I noticed my website states that it is "not secure" and even prompts me with a warning before continuing to the website if I haven't visited for a while.

As far as I know the best way to do that is to get an sdl certificate through aws and then use a load balancer to distribute that ssl certificate. I'm not 100% sure if this is the best or cheapest way to do this but it's one of the ways I know how to do this.
