Media Temple website features great perks of Enterprise WordPress web hosting powered by AWS

Media Temple, a GoDaddy company, has rolled out a new enterprise-level WordPress hosting plans. The web hosting company made the announcement on its official website introducing two new plans and services with the base package starting from $2,500.

Media Temple, a well-renown web hosting portal is now offering an enterprise web hosting solution powered by WordPress and Amazon Web Services, TechCrunch reported. The new AWS-based WordPress hosting solutions are expected to attract enterprise businesses.

Moreover, all the new packages also include staging environment, Developer tools, PHP7, traffic scalability, and redundant web, database and file servers. Managed services include Media Temple's CloudTech Premier (mt) One Account Management, up to 5 site migrations, and WordPress core and plugin updates.

The base package for Media Temple's AWS integrated WordPress hosting starts from $2,500. It includes 1 terabytes of cloud storage, scaling capacity of up to 10 docking containers, and Amazon RDS MySQL database.

A larger enterprise WordPress perks can be requested to get a quote, adding 1 TB to the cloud storage, 10 more docking containers, and more powerful Amazon Aurora MySQL database. The higher web hosting package also features 6-TB of Amazon CloudFront Global CDN per month compared to the base limit of 1.5-TB/month.

It is worth noticing that employing AWS does seem strange for Media Temple given that the company itself and its parent company as well offer managed could-hosting and web hosting solutions. So the AWS plans would benefit both Amazon and the GoDaddy subsidiary.

"Media Temple's servers are good, but there are things we can do with Amazon's technology that you can't do with a virtual private server," Brendan Fortune, director product management Media Temple told TechCrunch. He further noted that employing AWS services gives them time-efficient deployment of WordPress platform.

Amazon Web Services offer powerful analytical tools like EC2-integrad Lambda, which boosts scalability and performance of docking containers. The purpose behind AWS integration is also to give Media Temple Enterprise WordPress hosting subscribers a dedicated web hosting solution with extra hassle.

The company's CloudTech staff will be responsible for managing WordPress installations, its security, patches, and updates. Amazon's CloudFront DDoS will also add an additional layer of web security.

Expert web developers can deploy their own WordPress installs on AWS without going to Media Temple. However, with the official Media Temple website claiming their hosting as "The world's most reliable WordPress hosting platform," the scope is certainly profitable here.

Media Temple's official YouTube channel introduced AWS based Cloud solution.
