What problems did you have with your traditional hosting and how did you solve them?
Common problems organizations face with traditional hosting include poor website performance, limited scalability, high infrastructure costs, and poor web security. Migrating to AWS can help solve these problems by providing a more reliable, scalable, and secure hosting environment at a lower cost. However, the migration process itself can be challenging, and organizations may face issues such as data loss, incompatibilities, and configuration errors. It is advisable to work with an experienced migration partner or cloud consultant to ensure a successful migration and avoid potential issues.
