Over the next week I will be moving my websites over to AWS hosting from cPanel hosting, Due to Security Concerns I will be using Cloudflare Alongside for DNS Level Protection against Denial Of Service Attacks (DDOS).
So why Amazon?
This is for a variety of reasons;
Root Access – Full Root Access for ease of management on Server
Consolidated Access – Simplified Management of Websites on Server
Speed – Amazon has worldwide Datacenters, I am hoping this will reduce latency of access to my sites around the world.
Learning – By moving away from cPanel and onto a Linux server instance I am able to develop my Linux management and coding skill sets, this coincides with my Uni work.
More Updates to Come soon!
