Web hosting vs. AWS Self-Hosting

Netmigo AWS Web hosting solution

Choosing where to host your business website usually comes down to two choices: a standard Managed Hosting Service or Self-Hosting on an AWS Instance. Standard hosting is like a hotel—it’s easy to check in, but you can’t move the walls or control who else is in the building. Self-hosting on AWS is like owning the building. It’s faster, more secure, and scales forever—but it requires an expert architect to keep the lights on.

At Netmigo, we’ve spent 15 years mastering the AWS ecosystem so you can get the power of the cloud without the “cons.”


The Hidden Risks of Standard Hosting (And How Netmigo Solves Them)

Many businesses choose basic hosting for simplicity, but they soon hit these four “walls.” Here is how our AWS expertise breaks through them:
