AWS Cloud Hosting · Mumbai
AWS cloud hosting in Mumbai that keeps your website fast and secure.
We set up, migrate, secure and manage your AWS server, so your team never has to learn AWS. Backups, 24x7 monitoring and monthly reporting are included, and you own your AWS account.
What is AWS cloud hosting?
AWS cloud hosting means running your website or application on Amazon Web Services’ cloud servers instead of shared hosting. Your site gets its own resources, can scale up for busy periods and is hosted in a region close to your customers. Someone still has to set up, secure and maintain the server, and that is what managed AWS hosting covers.
What do ABC Designs’ AWS cloud hosting services include?
ABC Designs, a digital agency in Andheri East, Mumbai founded in 2012, is a managed services provider for AWS-hosted websites and web applications. We handle server setup, website migration to AWS, security hardening, backups and disaster recovery, speed and cost optimisation, and 24x7 monitoring. Every engagement starts with a hosting audit and a migration plan, and you own your AWS account.
Managed AWS hosting from the Mumbai team that builds websites, since 2012.
01 — Diagnosis
Why is my website slow or unreliable?
Slow, unstable hosting almost always traces back to a short list of causes. Most sites have two or three at once, which is why upgrading the plan rarely fixes anything.
Shared hosting limits
You’ll notice: pages slow down when a neighbouring site gets busy or hacked, and you can’t see why.
How we fix it: A dedicated cloud server sized to your traffic and hosted close to your customers.
An unmanaged AWS server
You’ll notice: you moved to AWS but nobody patches, backs up or watches the server.
How we fix it: Managed setup with updates, hardening, backups and 24x7 monitoring.
Weak server security
You’ll notice: repeated login attempts, outdated software, open ports or SSL warnings.
How we fix it: Firewall rules, secure access, protection against repeated logins, regular updates and auto-renewing SSL.
Backups nobody has tested
You’ll notice: backups exist, but nobody has ever restored one.
How we fix it: Automatic snapshots, daily off-server database backups and scheduled restore tests.
Oversized or idle servers
You’ll notice: an AWS bill that keeps climbing while your traffic stays flat.
How we fix it: A bill review and right-sizing of servers, storage and backups.
Slow code and database
You’ll notice: the server looks healthy, yet pages still crawl because of heavy plugins or slow queries.
How we fix it: Caching, compression, database tuning and a developer who can fix the code, not just restart the server.

03 — AWS hosting in 2026
Shared hosting, self-managed AWS or managed AWS hosting: which fits?
AWS describes security as a shared responsibility: AWS secures the cloud infrastructure, while you are responsible for what you run on it, from the operating system and applications to your data. That gap is exactly what managed AWS hosting closes.
| Shared hosting | Self-managed AWS | Managed AWS hosting (ABC Designs) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resources | Shared with many other sites | Yours alone | Yours alone |
| Who runs the server | The host, with limited control for you | You or your own engineer | Our team |
| Security & backups | Basic and varies by plan | Only if you set them up | Hardened server, tested backups |
| Traffic spikes | Limited headroom | Possible, but you configure it | Planned and handled for you |
| Cost behaviour | Fixed and low | Usage-based, can creep up | Usage-based, reviewed and right-sized |
| Best for | Small brochure sites and blogs | Teams with a cloud engineer | Business sites, stores and portals without in-house DevOps |
Source: AWS Shared Responsibility Model. AWS has two regions in India, Mumbai (opened 2016) and Hyderabad (opened 2022), each with three Availability Zones, so your site can be hosted in India close to your visitors (AWS announcement).

05 — Timelines
How long does an AWS migration take?
A typical business website is planned, tested on staging and switched over at a quiet hour, so downtime stays minimal. Timing depends on site size, database volume, email setup and how quickly sign-off happens; larger applications take longer.
Plan & test. Audit, sizing and cost estimate, then the new server is built and the site is tested on a staging address. Time depends on site size and complexity.
Switch. DNS is switched at a quiet hour, SSL is issued, redirects are confirmed and we watch the site closely while it settles.
Stabilise & manage. The first weeks are used to tune speed and cost, then monitoring, patching, backups and reporting continue every month.
Typical sequence, not a guarantee. Bars are illustrative.
06 — Reporting

13 — FAQ
AWS cloud hosting: frequently asked questions
Still unsure? Ask for a free audit and we’ll answer them for your website specifically.
What is AWS cloud hosting?
AWS cloud hosting means running your website or application on Amazon Web Services’ cloud servers instead of a shared hosting plan. Your site gets its own resources, can scale for traffic spikes and is hosted in a region near your customers. Amazon AWS cloud hosting still needs someone to set up, secure and maintain the server.
What is managed AWS hosting?
Managed AWS cloud hosting means a provider sets up and runs your AWS server for you: sizing, security hardening, updates, backups, monitoring and fixes. You keep ownership of the AWS account while your team avoids learning AWS. It’s the difference between renting a server and having it looked after.
What are AWS managed services?
AWS managed services is a general term for a provider operating your AWS environment day to day: monitoring, patching, backups, security and cost control. At ABC Designs this covers business websites and web applications. Offerings with similar names can differ widely, so always ask exactly what is included.
How do I choose between AWS managed services providers?
Ask who owns the AWS account, how backups are tested, what monitoring and response times are written into the plan, whether they can fix code as well as servers, and how they report on cost. Avoid providers that lock in your account or promise 100% uptime. ABC Designs is happy to be measured against these.
What is the AWS hosting price in India?
The AWS cloud hosting price depends on what you use: server size, traffic, storage and backups, plus our management fee, so AWS hosting cost varies from site to site. A well-sized server for a typical business website often costs about the same as premium shared hosting. We share the expected monthly AWS cost before you commit and review the bill regularly.
Can I get AWS hosting in India?
Yes. AWS has two India regions: Mumbai, opened in 2016, and Hyderabad, opened in 2022, each with three Availability Zones. We choose the region closest to most of your visitors, so Indian audiences get faster page loads and your data stays hosted in India.
Do you offer AWS migration services?
Yes. We move WordPress, e-commerce and custom-built websites, including databases, uploaded files, scheduled tasks, email and DNS. Every migration is tested on a staging address first, and DNS is switched at a quiet hour so downtime stays minimal.
Is AWS hosting for WordPress a good idea?
Yes, when it’s tuned properly. WordPress on AWS benefits from dedicated resources, caching, database tuning and off-server backups, which shared hosting often can’t offer. We set up and manage WordPress and WooCommerce on AWS, including safe updates and speed optimisation.
Do you provide 24x7 support?
Our monitoring runs around the clock and alerts our team. Response times for urgent issues are agreed in your plan, so you know exactly what to expect and who will act when an alert fires.
Can you guarantee 100% uptime?
No. No hosting provider can promise it, because hardware, networks and software all fail occasionally. We design for resilience with monitoring, tested backups and quick response, and we put our response commitments in your plan in writing.
Who owns the AWS account?
You do. We recommend the AWS account is registered in your company name. We manage it with our own access, and you keep full ownership of the account, backups, data and domain, so you’re never locked in.
How do you decide which server setup we need?
We look at what your website runs on, how much traffic it gets, any spikes during campaigns and your budget. A typical business website needs a simple setup; a portal or busy online store needs more power. We explain the choice and the monthly cost before we start.
Do you work with businesses outside Mumbai?
Yes. We’re based in Andheri East, Mumbai, and we host and manage servers for businesses in other cities and for international audiences. We choose the AWS region nearest your customers and work through shared reports and regular calls.
Can you reduce our current AWS bill?
Yes. We review your AWS bill and usage, right-size servers, storage and backups, and remove idle resources. You keep full control of the account, and we show you what changed and what it saved each month.
