so I would just run an apache instance on the host? And on the Amazon utilities, is it that complicated to set up? Could you give me some sort of overview of what that would take? And if I did just do the apache instance, would it be fast enough because it sort of does need to be fast and be able to store a good amount of data. Thanks by the way for answering my questions so thoroughly.
