So i installed Debian Sarge on Amazon's EC2 service.

The thing is, Amazon doesn't give you a static ip address or dns name ... so either use a dynamic dns service (something like no-ip, dyndns or any other one) or do your own thing.

I chose to do my own, and found this piece of software . They offer a service too, but i used only the software and installed the daemon on another machine i use (outside amazon). Though Debian Sarge has Dhis in the package collection, it's an older release which doesn't work with bind9 so i had to install from source.

So i was asked by Martin to take a look at EC2 and S3 . Without knowing anything i got on amazon's site related to AWS (Amazon Web Services) and started to read the docs.
