This is guide on how to set up a virtual web server instance on Amazon Web Services.

Select EC2

Select Create Instance

Select Launch Instance (NOTE: Scroll down and be sure to install the AMI that has IIS installed!)

Select the server you want – I am creating a Microsoft Windows Server

Pick the Free General Purpose Server

The View once security is configured

No changes to instance details

No changes to storage

Give your instance a name

Create a new public key pair, download and save it.

Launch your instance – it is now a running virtual server on the web

You can now use RDP to connect to your server (follow instructions on AWS web site)
