Moving From Shared Hosting to a Self-Managed Cloud Server

This course guides you through migrating a WordPress site off slow, limited shared hosting and onto your own cloud server using Amazon Lightsail and the Plesk hosting platform. It's designed to make that jump approachable even if you're not an IT professional, explaining unfamiliar terms as they come up.

What You'll Learn

Spinning up a cloud server on Amazon Lightsail in just a few clicks
Deploying a new WordPress site or migrating an existing one using Plesk
Pointing your domain to the new server or hosting DNS with Amazon Route 53
Securing your site with a free SSL/TLS certificate
Automating WordPress maintenance and updates with the WordPress Toolkit

Who It's For

WordPress site owners who are comfortable with basic web terms like "server" and "DNS zone" and want more speed and control than shared hosting offers, without needing deep IT expertise.

Key takeaway: Amazon Lightsail combined with Plesk turns what used to be a technical, multi-step migration into a manageable process anyone with basic web knowledge can complete.
