Hi everyone,  
  
  
  
I’m still in the mautic learning curve, I work with personal and client project’s.  
  
  
  
Right now my biggest Issue is where to install Mautic, on a server (shared or vps) or in Amazon AWS (EC2).  
  
  
  
I mean, what are the pros and cons? In terms of Security, Speed, Limits or Scalability.  
  
  
  
Amazon EC2 with bitnami is really Inexpensive and gives you 1 year for free with some limits, but need a some (or a lot) of technical knowledge.  
  
  
  
Is there some step-by-step guide to install it properly with bitnami, because is a 1-click install to work, but need extra configuration for the security and things like that.  
  
  
  
Maybe Somebody was experience using or even migrating from 1 Linux hosting to Amazon EC2.  
  
  
  
Thanks for your sharing your knowledge!!!
