I use an m3.xlarge AWS Elastic Compute instance to run a LAMP server for hosting websites.
On this instance I have 24 WordPress based websites, all for small businesses, so no major traffic hogs (I've not exceeded 1TB of traffic per month in 3 years) but I've set them all a 2GB storage limit. I've not yet exceeded 1TB of Magnetic storage.
No email being hosted on the server.
I spread the sites out over 5 IP addresses.
I've got it storing snapshots of the whole thing to a storage bucket too.
On average it's costing me just over $330 per month.
I upgraded to the m3.xlarge instance last year as previous, less powerful instances didn't have the juice to put up with some of the shocking WP plugins/themes that get put on it.
- tmaly 10y agoWhat do you do for email for these sites?
- provdes 10y agoTypically push people towards Google Apps if they have budget for it or Zoho mail if they don't. To be honest, Zoho's service is pretty fantastic for free email.
- tmaly 10y agowow, Zoho looks really nice. I have a shared provider I main keep for their email. Their prices use to be $3 a month. Now they have moved them up to $15 a month.
- provdes 10y agoOr if you meant outgoing email from the sites - I've used SendGrid for free and Mandrill as a pay for service.
