Simple Website Hosting
Simple websites typically consist of a single web server which runs either a Content Management System (CMS), such as WordPress, an eCommerce application, such as Magento, or a development stack, like LAMP. The software makes it easy to build, update, manage, and serve the content of your website.
Use Amazon Lightsail
✔ Amazon Lightsail is the easiest way to launch and manage a web server using AWS for a low, predictable price
✔ Best for websites built on development stacks like LAMP, LEMP, MEAN, Node.Js and that are unlikely to scale beyond 5 servers
✔ Ideal for customers who want to manage their own web server on one console to manage their web server, DNS, and networking
Single Page Web App Hosting
Static websites deliver HTML, JavaScript, images, video and other files to your website visitors and contain no server-side application code, like PHP or ASP.NET. They typically are used to deliver personal or marketing sites. Static websites are very low cost, provide high-levels of reliability, require no server administration, and scale to handle enterprise-level traffic with no additional work.
Use AWS Amplify Console
✔ AWS Amplify provides a complete workflow for developing, deploying, and hosting single page web apps or static sites with serverless backends
✔ Best for websites built with static site generators such as Gatsby JS, React-static, Jekyll, and Hugo and for those that do not contain server-side scripting, like PHP or ASP.NET
✔ Use for Progressive Web Apps or PWAs
Simple Static Website Hosting
Static web apps that require only a single load in a web browser are referred to as Single page web apps. All subsequent actions by the user are made available through HTML, JavaScript, and CSS that are pre-loaded in the browser. Backend data is accessed via GraphQL or REST APIs that fetch content from a data store and update the UI without requiring a page reload.
Use Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)
✔ Amazon S3 is object storage with a simple web service interface to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the web
✔ Best for websites that do not contain server-side scripting, like PHP or ASP.NET and customers who do not want to manage infrastructure
✔ Use for websites that change infrequently with few authors and need to scale for occasional intervals of high traffic
Enterprise Web Hosting
Enterprise websites include very popular marketing and media sites, as well as social, travel, and other application-heavy websites. For example, Lamborghini, Coursera, and Nordstrom use AWS to host their websites. Enterprise websites need to dynamically scale resources and be highly available to support the most demanding and highly trafficked websites.
Use Amazon Elastic Cloud Computing (EC2)
✔ Amazon EC2 provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud and allows you to pay only for capacity that you actually use
✔ Best for websites that use multiple web servers across at least two data centers and those that need to scale using load balancing or external databases
✔ Made for customers who need maximum control and flexibility for their web server configuration and administration
