Get going early with Amazon free tier (for the technically-minded)

[Liam O'Duibhir, Director, SoccerFit]

Folks, 

In relation to my last email...anyone with the tech know-how can have a crack at setting up an entire web server and email service very inexpensively on AWS...basically a small business server for about $4 per month (beat that!)

The ideas are from this presso - https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/3NlWKCuwl3Mvxb - 

Thanks to Developer Steve from Xero for sharing this at Hackagong last year...with a few ap-gets and tweaks he had cobbled together an Ubuntu 14 micro-instance on AWS...that had :-

+ a LEMP stack with PHP 7...the 'E' stands for Nginx

+ an email server that 'mimics' Exchange for $4 per user per mon versus $19 

+ easy config'd spam controls

+ Free HTTPS using a very generator that you can auto renew every 2 mons

+ instant scale up (thanks to AWS)

+ instant ghosting via snapshots (an instance template)

Again...smarter wiser people...please feel free to pick this apart and make any corrections you feel are needed.

Thanks,

Liam
