AWS’ free account includes a lot of perks and it’s active for one full year. That’s the highest amount of gratis time we’ve received form any cloud provider. However, we do have certain limitations.
For a complete list you could check out the AWS Free Tier homepage, but for our purposes, we need to know just this:
One Micro instance of Amazon EC2 is allowed in the free tier, for 750 hours each month – which is enough to keep WordPress up and running for 24x7x365 hours.
5GB of Amazon S3 storage, which we might use as a backup Country Email List location for our other websites.
To be honest, the lengthiest part of this tutorial is setting up your free Amazon Web Services account. It’s easy as 1-2-3, but nonetheless it is a lengthy process. You’ve got to:
Sign up with a new email address
Use your mobile number to link your account (Amazon will call you and you’ll have to enter the verification code)
Please note that you should not use a prepaid credit card or a virtual credit card service (like Entropay) in your AWS billing account. Although it’s technically okay, I’ve tried that and it’ll only get your account banned. So, please use a valid card. If you’ve followed all the steps properly, your account will be activated in minutes and you can get started with the WordPress installation procedure.
Step One – Installing the WordPress Image from AWS Marketplace
wp powered by bitnami
Head over to the AWS Marketplace > Content Management > WordPress powered by Bitnami. That’s the image we want to install. If you’re wondering why we haven’t created an EC2 instance so far – first off, pat yourself on the back for asking that brilliant question.
