Hi all im dont understand hosting and am looking into creating a site on amazons EC2 and S2 systems.

but i need help setting them up. well it doesn’t make any sense at all to me.

I am looking for a web based management system that well help me out.

I have found a place called http://www.rightscale.com which seems perfect but at 500 a month and a 2500 setup fee it is way to steep.

Does any one know of a similar solution, or am I just going to have to learn how to manage a hosting environment.

Is there a reason you want to use EC2 or are you just looking for a hosting provider?

skyhawk133 - Well it would make it easier to scale in future. If my startup idea is even mildly successful it will chew lots of bandwidth and storage.

So I figured if I started along those lines it could be better for the future. + the hosting is fairly cheep. And I can install what I need... Well if I knew how to do ti properly. smile.gif

red - why not just sign up for the amazon web services and do it from there?

They give you a web control panel, and I'm sure if you google around there are ample tutorials on how to achieve anything you want to with the platform.
