General Steps

  1. Buy the domain using Mydomain.com
  2. Sign up for Amazon Web Services, create a Key Pair, and create a security group
    • Get started using EC2 with AWS Free Usage Tier
    • Not possible to specify password when logging into instance, need public key (btw which only works for the region it was created):
      1. Open up Amazon Web Services Console
      2. Open up EC2 Console
      3. Choose your correct region via navigation bar at the top right
      4. On the left navigation pane under "NETWORK & SECURITY," choose Key Pairs
      5. Click Create Key Pair, choose a name for the key pair, probably including the region for which the key pair was created. A .pem file will automatically be downloaded locally. chmod 400 the file. Need to specify the .pem file when SSHing.
