Ensure 80\/443 are open for SSL and the WooCommerce app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a&nbsp;<strong>t3.medium or higher EC2 instance<\/strong>&nbsp;to ensure your server runs smoothly with sufficient CPU and memory for optimal performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assign an&nbsp;<strong>Elastic IP<\/strong>&nbsp;to your EC2 instance to maintain a&nbsp;<strong>static public IP address<\/strong>, ensuring consistent DNS configuration and uninterrupted access to your server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In your domain registrar\u2019s DNS settings, Create an A record pointing to your EC2 Elastic IP.
