Am I Able to Use Pagely’s Services For My Own AWS Accounts?

All of our customers’ servers run under our master AWS account. We require control of your server in order for you to fully utilize our fine-tuned technology stack and infrastructure to service your WordPress sites. Therefore, you would not have direct AWS console access as you would with any self-owned instances running under a personal AWS account.

Why might you want to keep or open your own AWS account?


Routing Backups To Your Own S3 Bucket


As a Pagely customer, you have the option of routing your nightly backups to your own S3 bucket. By default, Pagely keeps 14 days’ worth of backups via your Atomic dashboard.

We can keep more backups for you and store them in an S3 bucket that we manage for you, or we can move the backups older than 14 days to an S3 bucket that you manage in your own account.


Storing Your Media Assets


Using S3 to store your media gallery assets is another cost-effective way of limiting your disk expense. These assets would still utilize our PressCDN service, so you would not have to forfeit performance.

If you need assistance with setting up an S3 bucket for either of these purposes, we can guide you. Our Support KB article offers step-by-step instruction of how to Create an Amazon S3 Bucket to link to your Pagely VPS.

AWS Marketplace

If you are currently an AWS customer looking to transfer your WordPress sites to our platform, we offer alternate purchase options via the AWS Marketplace that may be attractive to your procurement department.
