I have an application built on ASP.NET MVC 3 that uses Entity Framework to connect to MySql for its data store. I am looking at hosting options, and Amazon looks like a very tempting place for me to host as the userbase will be shifting between both extremes (massive audience and no audience).

1) Is this possible?

2) Is it a bad idea?

3) If it is possible, what do I need from AWS to make it work?

Any help would be extremely helpful, I’m looking at setting the host up this week.

Thanks in advance!

    The issue with AWS is that administration and configuration of the server is on you, you will have to configure the server and IIS, I would suggest you to use appharbor instead, it’s a PaaS hosting that uses Git for deployments and it’s extremely pleasant to use, it’s been in beta for almost a year and I find it very reliable, I have a production app on it without issues. Its infrastructure runs under AWS and you get to scale when you have to by adding more web servers on the control panel, and you dont have to configure the server yourself.
