Very first you have to create an account in Amazon.com with valid credit card and then activate micro free tie. Click here to access Amazon console dashboard.
Step 1
After Amazon console login you find the following screen, select EC2 from Compute category.
Step 2
Click Launch Instance button. 
Step 3
Now choose operating system for your web server, I suggest use Ubuntu
for more package advantages. Make sure, that should be listed in free
tier.
Step 4
You find the following screen, now click Launch button.
Step 5
Here you can modify your server type, but initially explore things with free tier.
Creating Amazon Key File - Authentication
Most important part in this installation process. Step 6
Here choose Create a new pair key
Give valid name and click to Download Key Pair. You will get an .pem file.
Instance has been created successfully.
Firewall Security Settings
Step 9
You will find the instance status here.
Select the instance box and scroll down the page, you will find inbound rules for firewall security
Add HTTP rule for web server access.
Elastic IP - Create Static IP Address
Basically Amazon instance will provide you a dynamic public DNS name, this is not stable. So you need a static IP.Step 12
Go to Network & Security category and select Elastic IPs, click Allocate New Address
Amazon will provide you a random IP address.
Now associate IP address with instance box.
Choose instance box here.
Step 16
Click Associate address. 
Associated IP address with instance.
Linux & MAC connection
Executing following command with Linux or MAC terminal, you can directly access your box.
ssh -i keyname.pem ubuntu@IP_ADDRESS
Sometimes you will get following error.
Permissions 0640 for 'keyname.pem' are too open.
It is required that your private key files are NOT accessible by others.
This private key will be ignored.
Load key "keyname.pem": bad permissions
Permission denied (publickey).

Give only READ permission for .pem file, then execute SSH command again.
sudo chmod 400 keyname.pem
Windows connection
You have to download Putty and PuttyGen softwares. Click this Amazon Windows Connectivity link, follow steps under Windows connect using Putty
