Amazon Web Services gives small and mid-sized businesses access to the same infrastructure that powers some of the largest sites on the internet — but only if it’s set up correctly. At Vandulo, we handle the AWS side of hosting so you don’t have to become a cloud engineer just to keep your website online.
What We Set Up
When we move a client onto AWS, the goal is a hosting environment that’s fast, secure, and easy to maintain — not an over-engineered setup that’s hard to manage. Depending on the site, that typically includes:
- Compute: A properly sized EC2 instance or AWS Lightsail server, configured for your traffic level instead of a one-size-fits-all shared hosting plan.
- Storage and delivery: Amazon S3 for media and backups, paired with CloudFront so images and static assets load quickly for visitors anywhere.
- Database: A managed database (Amazon RDS) when a site needs more reliability and easier backups than a self-managed database.
- Security: Locked-down security groups, SSL certificates, and firewall rules so only the traffic that should reach your server does.
- Monitoring and backups: Automated backups and uptime monitoring, so problems get caught before visitors notice them.
Why AWS Instead of Standard Hosting
Shared hosting is fine for a small brochure site, but it starts to show its limits once a site gets real traffic, runs a store, or needs to scale for a marketing push. AWS lets us scale resources up when you need them and back down when you don’t, without migrating your site to a new host every time your business grows.
Migration Without the Downtime
If you’re already live somewhere else, we handle the migration: setting up the new AWS environment, testing it against your existing site, and cutting over DNS during low-traffic hours so visitors don’t notice the switch.
Ongoing Management
Once your site is on AWS, we keep it there — patching the server, watching for security issues, keeping backups current, and adjusting resources if traffic changes. That’s the part that’s easy to skip and expensive to ignore.
The Bottom Line
AWS is powerful, but it’s not something most businesses want to manage themselves. Vandulo handles the setup, security, and maintenance so you get the reliability of enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure without needing an in-house engineer.
