You don't. I just moved a WP multisite from Rackspace Cloud to AWS. Load times down 50%. Cost down 90%. Hosting is not, and has never been, an easy business.

- FireBeyond 10y agoThat seems off. It's been 2 or so years now, but I worked for a company that had a five digit monthly bill from both Rackspace and AWS, and our costs to migrate from one to the other were within 15% when we did the math. 90% seems way off. AWS is known for not being cheap (neither is Rackspace), but I highly doubt that Rackspace was ten times the price of Amazon.
- samstave 10y agoRefactor code to handle spot loss and then go with much larger spot instances??
- FireBeyond 10y agoI could see that true. I forgot that my (now ex-) employer was for whatever reasons averse to reserved, let alone spots.
- samstave 10y agoTo clarify, in all liklihood - you would be doing top tier on spot, and then 2nd and third via other methods... but there are ways to get a system to really handle spot loss... There are MANY applications that simply are too complex to handle such an arch... so, - do so, when you can, but know when that's just stupid.... stacks are like snowflakes, we LOVE them to death, or we love them to DEATH...
- iamabraham 10y agoUh, AWS is absolutely known for being cheap. I'm in the hosting business as well and our AWS offerings are a fraction of the cost of other solutions, especially when you consider what you get.
