Amazon Hosting

From peak demand to quiet reliability.

Three situations we encounter every day.

Why choose AWS for your online store?

  • Your site crashes at the busiest time

    Black Friday, a successful campaign, or an item that goes viral: just when it’s bringing in the money, your site slows down. With AWS, capacity scales with traffic, so you pay only for the peak rather than paying all year round just to be safe.

  • You pay all year round for your busiest day

    You’ve purchased capacity for your busiest day and pay for it on the other 364 days as well. With scalable hosting, your bill reflects your actual traffic. We’ll calculate in advance what that means for you.

  • When there’s an outage, no one knows where the problem lies

    There’s an outage, and no one can tell whether it’s caused by the application, the server, or an integration. We set up monitoring that does make that distinction, so the investigation doesn’t take half a day.

AWS as the engine powering your platform

Hosting only stands out when things go wrong. As long as everything is running smoothly, no one thinks about it; but the moment your site slows down during a campaign, it suddenly becomes the only thing anyone is talking about.

Amazon Web Services is the engine behind it all. Capacity scales with traffic, environments are isolated so that a test never affects the store, and backups run without anyone having to think about them. We set this up to meet your platform’s needs, whether it’s Magento, Shopware, or a custom solution.

You keep track of the costs. We set up budget alerts and review usage with you monthly, so a rising bill never comes as a surprise.

What We Do with AWS

We design the environment around your application: computing capacity, database, storage, and a CDN for images and static files. We also separate the development, test, and production environments, ensuring that a release is never a matter of chance.

We migrate in stages with a fallback plan, because a move with no way out isn’t a plan. Afterward, we configure monitoring and alerting to focus on the signals that really matter: response times, error rates, and the warning signs leading up to an outage—rather than the outage itself.

Security and backups are part of the basics, not extra work. We test recovery procedures, because a backup that’s never been restored is just an assumption.

Three things you’ll notice in our partnership.

Why choose Redkiwi as your hosting partner?

  • You can see for yourself what it does and what it costs

    You can see for yourself what the environment does and how much it costs. Every month, we review usage and reports, and you decide where we need to make adjustments. No surprises on the bill and no black box.

  • Independent advice

    We’ll also advise against AWS if a specialized hosting provider is a better fit for your platform. For a standard Magento environment, that’s often the case. That’s what ownership means to us.

  • Builder and Manager in One

    We build the application that runs on it, so we know where it gets overloaded and why. This eliminates the need to go back and forth between the developer and the hosting provider when something goes wrong. You work with a dedicated specialist who knows your platform.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hosting

01/ When should I choose AWS over a specialized hosting provider?
If you have fluctuating traffic and peak periods, or if your platform is custom-built. If you’re running a standard Magento environment with stable traffic, a specialized hosting provider is often simpler and more cost-effective. We give this advice even if it costs us business.
02/ How much does hosting on AWS cost?
You pay based on usage, so your bill reflects your traffic rather than your busiest day. We set up budget alerts and review your usage with you each month, so a rising bill won’t come as a surprise.
03/ How does a migration to new hosting work?
Step by step, with a fallback plan. We set up the new environment alongside the existing one, test it with real data, and only switch over once everything is correct. A move with no way back is not a plan.
04/ Do you also handle backups and monitoring?
Yes. Backups and recovery procedures are part of the basics, not additional services. We actually test the restore process as well, because a backup that has never been restored is just an assumption, not a certainty.
