Download WordPress site running on Bitnami

Question

Currently, I am running my WordPress on Bitnami instance on AWS EC2, I want to close my EC2 but before that, I want to download my WordPress site so that I can migrate that to some other cheaper option.

How can I download the WordPress site and delete my EC2 instance, so that I am not billed for any of the services from AWS?

Answer

Hi,

To export your WP content, see https://wordpress.com/support/export/

Then, terminate your instance: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/terminating-instances.html

Also delete related resources if you have some so that they are no longer active and charged to you: RDS instance, Elastic IP, VPC resources (IGW, etc.)

You may want to check out LightSail as an alternative.

See FAQ: https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/faq/

```
Q: What software can I run on my instance?

Lightsail offers a range of operating system and application templates that are 
automatically installed when you create a new Lightsail instance. Application 
templates include WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!, Ghost, Magento, Redmine, LAMP, 
Nginx (LEMP), MEAN, Node.js, Django, and more.
