Difference with shared hosting

I am talking as a customer myself, with some experience on various infrastructure landscapes.

AWS offers several advantages over cheaper hosting options. Firstly, scalability is a major perk. Your infrastructure can automatically adjust based on traffic needs, ensuring your applications always have sufficient resources without overspending. Plus, AWS spreads its infrastructure across multiple Availability Zones for better performance and reliability, unlike single-server hosting.

Security is another area where AWS shines. They manage the underlying infrastructure security, so you can focus on securing your applications. As for reliability, AWS has a global network of data centers and uses replication techniques for fault tolerance, meaning fewer disruptions. And while AWS may seem pricier upfront, its pay-as-you-go model can actually save you money in the long run by avoiding overprovisioning and unnecessary expenses.

So, if you're prioritizing scalability, performance, security, reliability, and long-term cost savings, AWS could be the way to go for your project!
