Transitioning a Wordpress website to a better setup?

Hey guys

Currently I work with some guy that has his performance marketing wordpress landers are hosted on some german shared hosting server (this: https://m.all-inkl.com/)

(No we can not switch from Wordpress right now, lol)

Me being around affiliates I told him shared hosting is a no-go and now I've got the responsibility to setup a decent hosting for him and CDN

Problem is I don't know programming too well to setup digital ocean myself

I wonder if I can switch his wordpress to the AWS setup Amy @vortex explained in her newbie tutorial ? (S3+ROUTE53+CLOUDFRONT)

Maybe I can somehow outsource to someone to setup his server on Digital ocean ?

Guys, any suggestions are appreciated!

Albert

On this thread, there is script to deploy and configure VPS:

Maybe you should check out.

I would recommend to find a system administrator to install it for you. For USD 250/300 on UpWork, you should be able to find someone.

Thanks for sharing that, as I understand though its not for Digital Ocean, right?

If I'm going to use Digital Ocean, I found a video on how to download the files of wordpress and import them to a new wordpress account which i can then setup with the new server.
Now only to install a LAMP Stack on Ubuntu 18.04 inside a digital ocean droplet, easy enough?

The last time I was setting up a wordpress site on digital ocean, I used serverpilot.io to do it... here is their WP setup guide: https://serverpilot.io/docs/how-to-u...ess-installer/

Then you will need to move the content, there are some plugins out there that should be able to handle that, like this one: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutori...h-no-downtime/

In the past, my coder moved a few WP sites for me, but I'm not exactly sure what he used or how he did it. Let's see whether some other members have experience with it.

This is a stack for any VPS deployment using Centos. Centos is an OS, so the commands are the same and you should be able to adapt it quite quickly to another provider.

THIS might be a stupid question... But can you upload the wordpress site to AWS S3 since Amy made a nice tutorial on how to setup that?

No, you can not. AWS S3 only serves static files such as HTML, JS, CSS. WordPress needs PHP and MySQL to be running on a server to render the pages.
