How to Host Your Website on AWS EC2 and Cost Effectively with Full Control

If you want to host your website on AWS, you might be overwhelmed by the many options available. How do you choose the best one for your needs? In this video, I will share with you my own personal experience and show you how to host your website on AWS EC2, the old-school way with full control and flexibility.

I have tried different hosting platforms in the past, such as Heroku, A2 Hosting, Netlify, and Vercel, as well as AWS ECS. But none of them gave me the satisfaction and freedom that I get from hosting on AWS EC2. In this video, I will walk you through the steps to set up your own website on AWS EC2, from creating an instance to deploying your code. You will learn how to host your website on AWS EC2 with confidence and ease.

You can download the code package and follow the instructions here:

@02:35 - YES to Docker / Kubernetes deployment. - Just found your channel. Excellent content, another sub for you sir!

You're right about having control over the server configuration and build process, those fancy services push you to spend money on things you don't need, i want to deploy my own DB and not pay for PostgreSql could service, for most of my projects all I need is simply reproduce my local environment on a server. Great video like always

I could follow along with half of this, & that’s an improvement 😂

Greate video once again.
An ecs and docker walkthrough would be a very interesting video, I look forward to that

Thanks a lot for very useful content. I have a question regarding Reserved Instances: it is not possible to choose ubuntu as platform when you want to purchase an instance. So is it relevant or just the machine is important here. How about i lunch 2 EC2 for production to have higher availability? Do i need to purchase same machine multiple times in Reserved Instances, right?

hi shaun:) I build your Rachel app which has a frontend and a backend, this video doesn't include the backend, do I just make a second connection to my instance and run the backend there?

[gourmetpro]

do reverseProxy's Dockerfile and frontend's Dockerfile have the same content, could you show us whats inside the frontend's Dockerfile?

[adamtang]

Hmm... 6 months passed and is "project becoming complex caused qwik failed" still true?

[uuultraaa]

if I dont know how to code should I stay away from AWS and go for a more basic hosting service?
