Q: I currently have a Wordpress Site running on Amazon EC2 and I am looking to migrate or use FlyWP to manage this and future WP sites.
I have 3 basic questions:
1) Migration - is FlyWP able to "take over" existing sites in Amazon EC2? or do I have to create a fresh new site via FlyWP and manually migrate via plugin? Which migration plugin do you recommend?
2) Caching - On your website you have 3 different levels of caching: Redis Cache, Fast CGI Cache, and Cache Plugin. Not sure if I can activate ALL 3? If so, which Cache Plugin do you recommend? I am currently using LiteSpeed cache plugin but need more speed for Mobile. PageSpeed is only 40 at best.
3) Server scaling - when my sites grow I need to bump up the CPU and storage or even move a site to its own server. I looked at your videos and sample screens but the info do not seem to address scaling (or did I miss it?) Can I at least change the number of CPU's, the RAM and storage space on the fly like I can do on other platforms and still keep my Wordpress instance intact?

1. Yes, FlyWP can "take over" existing sites hosted on Amazon EC2. You don't necessarily have to create a fresh new site via FlyWP and manually migrate. You can use a migration plugin to facilitate the process. We recommend using the "All-in-One WP Migration" plugin or "Duplicator" for a seamless migration experience. These plugins are user-friendly and reliable for transferring your entire WordPress site, including the database and media files, to FlyWP.
2. FlyWP supports multiple levels of caching to enhance your website's performance. You can indeed activate all three caching mechanisms: Redis Cache, Fast CGI Cache, and a Cache Plugin.
3. FlyWP does support server scaling to accommodate the growth of your websites. You can adjust the number of CPUs, RAM, and storage space on the fly. This flexibility allows you to scale resources without impacting your WordPress instance's integrity.
Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further assistance with the migration and setup process. We're here to help you make the most of FlyWP's features and optimize your WordPress sites.
