If you have special networking needs, or already know AWS pretty well and want it integrated into your environment then you can just build it in EC2. You can either use an AMI from the marketplace to get started or just install it yourself. If going this route and you want to "scale" I'd recommend also setting up an RDS database. You can add a load balancer for SSL termination and have AWS automatically rotate the certificates for you and make sure you enable scheduled AMI and/or RDS snapshots for backups. For OS patching you can use either unattended-upgrades or AWS patch manager. A benefit of this method is that it can be pretty well automated with CloudFormation. Such as with this AWS Labs template:\ https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cloudformation-templates/blob/master/aws/solutions/WordPress_Single_Instance.yaml
