What service and plan should I get?
Here are my requirements: 100 websites. all wordpress text based blogs. 100 blog posts on each website. each blog post/page will be on average of 1mb. total monthly unique visitors - 1 million. peak times - 30 simultaneous/peak visitors. I believe either EC2 or Lightsail would fit my case but I don't really know.
My background is PHP developer but have little experience with terminal and have mostly used SFTP and cPanel.
See attachment for what I configured. Is this correct for my usecase. It says 1 Database, but each Wordpress site has its own database, so how would this work out. Because when I select 100 DB, the price jumps from $78 to $1500.
P.S. I have already purchased 100 domains and I intend to point their DNS to AWS and yes I can take care of that.
Also, whatever service you are suggesting, would I have any control panel or atleast ftp/sftp or will I have to do everything via terminal/SSH?

Hello.
If you want to host a fairly large site on one server, EC2 is recommended because it offers a wider range of performance options.
By choosing EC2, you can also consider using AutoScaling etc. in the future.
The number of DBs in the image is the number of instances, not the number of schemas.
Normally, it would be easier to manage performance by creating an RDS instance for each website, but it is possible to host just one.
It is also possible to perform server load balancing by managing WordPress content on a file server called EFS and managing EC2 with ALB and AutoScaling.
The configuration is as described in the document below.

Hi,
here is an interesting post to host multiple WP sites on 1 single EC2 instances to minimize costs: https://medium.com/veniducreations/step-by-step-guide-on-hosting-multiple-wordpress-websites-on-aws-ec2-ubuntu-instance-f31c369c7b3e
Best,

I do not have a big website, I have 100 small Wordpress text based blog websites. Each website will be about 200mb in size, each will receive about 10,000 monthly unique visitors.
If you expect your demand to increase in the future, we recommend hosting WordPress on EC2.
