Seems like it makes sense to move over to AWS and save money. I'm on
board with the change.
Thanks,

Hi All,
I got some time to look over the website hosting service we buy from iPage
as I know we have got some renewal coming up. I was actually surprised
when I got to the price tag which comes out to $153.39 per year.
Here is the breakdown:
iPage:
Domain Renewal Changes:
- 33.98 per 2 years (renews 4/2017)
- 16.99 per year
privacy service - 9.99 per 2 years (renews 4/2017)
- 5.00 per year
Hosting:
394.20 per 3 years (renewal on 8/2017)
- 131.4 per year
Avg. Annual Cost: $153.39
This is quite a bit. iPage actually offers a bunch of services our web
page does not require. I've reviewed a few options and would like to
propose that we leave iPage and migrate over to Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The billing is quite a bit different. Billing is done monthly, based on
the size of the page and usage. After reviewing the size of our page and
our traffic over the past few months I estimate that total expense for
covna.org on AWS will run us $6 annually or about $0.50 per month. This
is 96.1% reduction. There will be a one time $12 dollar transfer fee.
I propose we move over to AWS. Any concerns?
Thanks,
Matt
