I am planning to move my LAMP stack to AWS as the number of users increases. Current estimations suggest, that the Server has to handle roughly 100.000 users accessing the static landing page, out of which about 5.000 will use the internal pages (PHP and Database access). Can I use AWS to host my site and what should I pay attention to?

1100,000 users per *what*? Concurrent? Per day? Per month? – ceejayoz Jan 07 '19 at 20:28

Yes, you can use AWS for a site with a scale from 1 request a day to 1 million hits per second and beyond.
You really need AWS education to use AWS effectively, including designing for cost savings. Off the top of my head things to pay attention to:
- Load balancing (ELB)
- Auto scaling (AWS auto scaling) with AMI images
- Cost control (you need to understand AWS)
- Log collection and analytics (CloudWatch)
- Database selection and load (RDS probably)
