What Is MemberPress – Amazon Web Services (AWS)?
MemberPress – Amazon Web Services (AWS) is developed by MemberPress and is a membership plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the membership category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for content protection and user management.
This integration solves the problem of server overhead by moving large files to the Amazon S3 cloud. It is designed for course creators and site owners who need to deliver high-quality video or audio content without slowing down their web server.
MemberPress – Amazon Web Services (AWS) Features
The feature set is built around secure file delivery and cloud-based storage management.
Secure Cloud Storage
MemberPress AWS provides the ability to host private files on Amazon S3, which is the premier cloud storage solution. This keeps your WordPress server light while maintaining high availability for your digital assets. It is particularly useful for sites scaling their membership content delivery.
Expiring Download Links
The plugin generates expiring links for registered members who have access to individual files. These links are temporary, meaning users cannot share URLs with non-members to allow unauthorized downloads. This protection layer ensures that your intellectual property stays within your paid community.
Embedded Media Player
Easily embed video and audio files on your WordPress pages and posts using the open-source Media Element Player. This player is compatible with both desktop and mobile browsers, ensuring a consistent viewing experience for all users. The integration also protects these embedded files from being viewed by non-members.
