Web Hosting on AWS
“Our website is slow and fragile”
Your site loads slowly, goes down during traffic spikes, and every change feels risky. The hosting was set up years ago and nobody is confident enough to touch it.

Managed web infrastructure on AWS. Auto-scaling, CDN, SSL, WAF, and monitoring all handled. You update content. We keep everything running.
Your website is your most visible digital asset, and probably your most neglected infrastructure. It was set up years ago, possibly by a freelancer or agency that’s since moved on. It works, mostly. But it’s slow, fragile, and every change feels risky.
The hidden cost of “it works”
A slow website isn’t just annoying. It costs you customers. Google penalises slow sites in search rankings. Visitors abandon pages that take more than 3 seconds to load. And when your site goes down during a campaign or a press mention, you lose business at the exact moment you should be winning it.
Meanwhile, the hosting configuration sits untouched because nobody is confident enough to change it. Security updates pile up. SSL certificates expire at the worst possible moment. The CMS version is months behind.
Web hosting as managed infrastructure
Your website deserves the same operational rigour as your core application. We build and manage your web infrastructure on AWS with the same tools and processes we use for production workloads.
Performance by design. CloudFront CDN for global content delivery. Auto-scaling compute for traffic spikes. Optimised for your specific technology stack, whether that’s a static site, WordPress, or a custom application.
Secure by default. AWS WAF configured with rules appropriate to your site. SSL certificates managed automatically via ACM. Platform updates applied on a schedule, not when something breaks.
Fully managed. Monitoring, incident response, and maintenance included. You update your content. We handle everything underneath.
What's usually in the way
-
Legacy hosting nobody understands
The hosting was set up by someone who left. Configuration is undocumented. Making changes feels dangerous because nobody knows what might break.
-
No auto-scaling. Traffic spikes cause outages
Your site handles normal traffic fine. But a marketing campaign, press mention, or seasonal spike brings it down. You lose customers at the moment you should be gaining them.
-
Security is an afterthought
SSL certificates expire unexpectedly. WAF rules don't exist. Plugins or CMS versions are months out of date. Your site is a soft target.

“The high-performance AWS infrastructure and autoscaling capabilities ensured uninterrupted performance during a very large traffic spike a few days after the migration was completed.”

Frequently asked questions
What does AWS hosting include?
We host your web application on AWS with the right architecture for your traffic, performance, and budget. That covers load balancing, auto-scaling, content delivery (Amazon CloudFront), database management, backups, and 24/7 monitoring. You focus on the app; we focus on what it runs on.
What if traffic spikes unexpectedly?
Auto-scaling handles this without intervention. We size the baseline for your normal load, then scale out automatically when traffic climbs. Most clients survive 10x spikes without anyone having to do anything. We also do load tests so you know where the ceiling is before you find it for real.
Can you migrate our existing site to AWS?
Yes. We've migrated WordPress, Magento, custom Node and Python applications, .NET workloads, and more. The process depends on the platform, but downtime is typically under an hour, often zero with DNS-based cutover.
What about performance for users in different regions?
We use Amazon CloudFront to serve static content from edge locations close to your users. For dynamic content, we can add multi-region failover or read replicas. Your users in the US shouldn't suffer because your servers are in London.
How does this compare to shared hosting or managed WordPress hosts?
Shared hosting and managed WordPress are fine for low-traffic sites. AWS hosting becomes worth it when uptime affects revenue, when your traffic is unpredictable, or when you need control beyond what a shared host gives you. We tell you honestly when AWS isn't the right answer for your size.
