Cloud Migration

WordPress to AWS Migration

Move your WordPress site off shared or cPanel hosting and onto AWS — with the security, performance, and control your business deserves.

Outgrowing cPanel hosting? Need better security, scalability, or control? Tierney Dynamics migrates WordPress sites to AWS with a focus on what custom WordPress hosting actually requires — not just copying files and hoping for the best.

Chris has experience with the needs of custom WordPress hosting to take full advantage of the security and features AWS provides. That includes migrating from cPanel hosting environments, where file permissions, PHP versions, cron jobs, and database configurations often need careful translation to a cloud setup.

AI-assisted tools help speed up the migration process — but decades of hands-on experience ensure the architecture, security posture, and end result are solid. Every migration includes PHP tuning, security lockdown, thorough testing, and MySQL database migration with verification.

The Migration Process

A structured approach that minimizes downtime and surprises on cutover day.

1

Assessment & Planning

Review your current hosting setup, plugins, traffic patterns, and requirements to design the right AWS architecture.

2

AWS Environment Setup

Provision EC2, RDS, security groups, SSL certificates, and backups sized appropriately for your site.

3

Migration & MySQL Transfer

Move WordPress files and migrate the MySQL database with integrity checks and URL updates handled correctly.

4

Tune, Lock Down & Test

Optimize PHP settings, harden the server, verify plugins and forms work, and test before DNS cutover.
