Hosting / deployment
Hosting#
I have provided FTP details to the server, however if you require any additional access please let me know. There is a cPanel account I can provide access to, however there is some shared data on this account which I will need to migrate beforehand.
WordPress#
The WordPress instance is hosted on a Linode Virtual Private Server (VPS) based in the Sydney. The Linode account is under Snarkie, which is billed to Klemich on a monthly basis. Server resources are fairly significant, largely due to the constant property data imports. I monitor the server for any downtime, which I have seen occur at times due to large imports overloading the server.
If there are any hosting issues please contact me at luke@snarkie.com.au. I can scale the server as needed.
Amazon AWS S3#
Due to the increasing size of the WordPress media library, the server was regurlarly being scaled to cater for higher storage capacities. Recently I decided to migrate all media to an S3 bucket, removing the need for them to sit on the WordPress server.
The WordPress plugin Media Cloud manages the link between WordPress and S3. Any files uploaded to WordPress will be transferred to the bucket.
This S3 bucket is hosted under the Snarkie AWS account. Hosting charges are forwarded to Klemich monthly. If required, I can provide IAM access to you, or alternatively you can use your own AWS account.
Deployment#
Previously I had setup the backend to deploy using Git hooks. I have removed this so you may deploy using the method you prefer.
