Hi I was looking for a place to host my bigger projects with a philosophy “pay for what you use”. I found Amazon WS. I want to set up a site with CMS (Modx) on Amazon WS. I basically need to setup a database (mysql?) and a webserver. Can someone provide me with some info on that or point to a tutorial or something?

Well, AWS gives you EC2 (CPU) and EBS (Hard Disk). You will need to choose an OS, setup Apache/Nginx and mysql.
In their basic form, the installation procedure is fairly simple.
Look around the web for more complete tutorials for the OS you choose. These are for ubuntu.
As for Modx, their instructions are available.
Good luck.
