Now Offering Static WordPress AWS S3 Deployments & Integrations

Thanks to a new partnership with Apex Dental Partners, Headless Hostman can now deploy to your AWS S3 and interface with Cloudfront Distributions.

The Case Study

Apex Dental Partners wanted to switch from Simply Static to Headless Hostman.

Their infrastructure, however, was deeply engrained in AWS S3 buckets and Cloudfront Distributions.

So they tasked us with building an integration with AWS.

And we did.

How It Works

1. We migrate your WordPress website to the Headless Hostman platform so you can access all of our functionality.
2. On the press of a button, we convert your WordPress site to Static.
3. Instead of Cloudflare, we deploy to your AWS S3 Bucket.

Formatted for S3 Buckets

If you’re already leveraging a Static WordPress solution to deploy to AWS S3 Buckets, you’re ready for action.

Our deployment method simply mimics your existing AWS S3 folder and file structure.

Once you’re set up, the change over is seamless.

Handling 301 Redirects on Distributions

On our native Cloudflare deployments we already supported Rank Math, Yoast, and Redirection 301s.

We adapted our method to work seamlessly on AWS Cloudfront Distributions by developing a LAMBDA function.

1. Click one button the Headless Hostman
2. And your Distribution will receive and start serving the updated 301s

Fixing Trailing Slash Issues in AWS

AWS S3 Buckets are notorious for not handling trailing slashes — or the lack thereof — all that well.

For example, if you have a link on your page like “site.com/about” AWS will route it to a 404 or misconfiguration page.

Our LAMBDA function automatically reads those instances and redirects them to the correct address. This skips the headache of mass-changing links.

Clear Your Distribution Cache — from Within Your WordPress Website

Need to clear your AWS Cloudfront Distribution cache? You could …. login, navigate to Cloudfront, then the Distribution, and then the Cache Invalidations tab.

Or, you could just push a single button in WordPress.

It’s that simple.

Version Control

As opposed to pushing directly to AWS S3 Buckets, we route all deployments through GitHub first.

That means if something goes wrong, all you have to do is roll it back to a previous version.

AWS does offer version control within S3 Buckets, but it’s an additional — and sometimes significant — cost.

We handle it for you.

Aggressive Pricing

If you’re using your own AWS account, you’re already handling the cost of live traffic, not us.

With that, we’re happy to quote you a custom plan outside of our full-scale options.
