In case you haven’t heard yet (or seen it on social media), in the next few months I’m going to be transferring to a new team at AWS. This is super exciting, and I’ll share more about the new role once I’m able. But in the meantime, that means that my existing team has an opening for a Solutions Architect Manager! We’re looking for someone who is passionate about helping Aussie businesses reap the benefits of moving to the Cloud, as well as growing and coaching an amazing team of technical folks. Bonus – you get to work with an awesome team of really smart folks! The job description is here, and it’s worth noting that the role is open to both Sydney and Melbourne! Hit me up if you have any questions about it…

Well, that was an ordeal.
A few weeks ago I got an email that my shared web hosting account (that I use for both this site and RoaldDahlFans) was up for renewal, and it reminded me that I didn’t like the host I was using. I was stuck on PHP5 and they were going to charge me more to move to a server with PHP7, and that pissed me off. So I asked Twitter what to do.
Folks – where's the best WordPress hosting these days?

I got a lot of different answers, most of which were a LOT more expensive than I was spending. I was okay with going up a little bit, but these are both hobby sites rather than professional so anything over, say, $20/month was too much. A few folks threw out the suggestion to use Amazon Lightsail, which was intriguing. After all, it’s always a good idea to eat your own dog food. (I should also mention that these sites are and have always been hosted and paid for by me personally, so they’re not running on my employee AWS account or anything like that.)
I thought I’d document the process that I followed for the sites, which was based on this blog post and this AWS tutorial. Truthfully, setting up a new WordPress site on Lightsail is super easy and takes less than hour. All the complexity was because I was migrating two very old and very crufty sites from PHP5 to PHP7 and trying to preserve twenty years’ worth of old URLs. So even though I encountered a few hurdles not described in the tutorials, I wouldn’t let that stop you. Read on for the details…
