Hosting A Server Build On AWS EC2

This is a more advanced scenrio but has a lot more longevity then hosting it locally. As these instances can be left running for a long time.

  1. Setup A Key-Pair
  2. Launch A Linux Based EC2 Image w/ Key-Pair A. Make sure to launch your EC2 instance with a public IP address
  3. scp Server Build To instance
  4. SSH to EC2 and start Server Build
  5. Make sure security group allows access to instance on port running server build
  6. Connect to EC2 instance based on it's public IP.

I would also suggest that you take advantage of Route53 on AWS to assign a DNS name to the ec2 instance. That way you can connect to a nice DNS name instead of a static IP address.
