It runs completely serverless - free of any inflexible hardware infrastructure. The whole system running as a team of small microservices means that the running expenses are without any overhead even at the smallest scale.
-
Have an AWS account
-
Have your domain/subdomain set up in Route53
-
Make sure you can receive email at one of the following addresses for https certificate generation (if you dont have a mail server set up, you can use https://github.com/sirceljm/AWS-SES-simple-mail-forward to forward emails to your email address)
-
Request a new certificate in AWS ACM (https://console.aws.amazon.com/acm/home?region=us-east-1#/) (THIS HAS TO BE ISSUED IN the us-east-1 REGION!!!)
-
If you are using just the domain - the certificate name should be domain.com
-
If you are using a subdomain - the certificate name should be subdomain.domain.com or *.domain.com
