How to put a eclipse web project onto a real world server?

Question

I have never placed anything on a web server.

i have a dynamic web project built in eclipse using servlets (using tomcat 7) that connects to a mysql database that is on a computer that is on my college network.

How would i go about placing this project onto a Web Server so i can access it from anywhere. If you could explain the best and cheapest option that would be great

what would be the steps involved to make this project go live?

Answer 1

Amazon EC2 has free micro instance that will run tomcat+mysql! It's worth checking out!
