How DomainHostly helps with AWS Outposts

  • Plan: choose the right setup, size and region for your workload and budget.
  • Set up securely: configure AWS Outposts with least-privilege access, encryption and backups where they apply.
  • Migrate: move from shared hosting, your own servers or the other cloud with minimal downtime.
  • Run and optimise: monitoring, updates and regular cost reviews so you only pay for what you use.

Compute: Virtual machines and servers to run your applications, from a single small server to large fleets.

What to consider: Compute

  • Right-size: start with the smallest machine that meets your load and resize after watching real usage.
  • Use a load balancer and at least two servers in different zones for anything customers depend on.
  • Commit (Savings Plans / committed-use discounts) only for capacity you run all month; use spot or preemptible capacity for interruptible jobs.
