Managed WordPress Hosting Plans Learn about Managed Amazon EC2

HostJane sets up your WordPress virtual machine on Amazon EC2 running the latest version of WordPress—deployed by Bitnami—maps your EC2 instance to your domain or subdomain, assigns an Amazon elastic IP, and installs a free, auto-renewing SSL certificate.

Your new Amazon WordPress cloud server will email you its admin username and password, within 3 mins of the instance launching.

Case Example: HostJane automates in 2 mins what AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Alok Kumar, manually does on the AWS terminal in 30 mins, with added configurations, on-going 24/7 support and full server management.

After 2-3 mins you’ll get your WP-Admin password and must simply point your domain to the IP address to see your new managed WordPress site in a web browser.

Advanced users should use an FTP like Filezilla or CyberDuck to manage server files, and PhPMyAdmin through this Bitnami tutiroial to you manage your WordPress database.

In addition to configuring the latest version of WordPress on your full-managed EC2 machine, HostJane offers Amazon EC2 instances with activated installations of the following software configured for reliability and speed.
