Setting up a website for little money

Goals
1. Free DNS. Will forward all traffic to an aws server. Forward all email to gmail.
2. Setup website. Basic at first.
3. Setup a gmail account $5 a month for using their office stuff.
4. Setup facebook. Done. But populate it with webpage.
5. Setup Blogger -- DONE. But not going to use it anymore.
6. Setup mongo or couchdb for fun. It will hold the categories of jiujitsu stuff. And secret location of videos downloaded. Webpage to upload secret videos. Might not have enough diskspace for videos.
7. Meetup?

First need DNS.
1a. Setup DNS account on bulkregister.
1b. Setup DNS on free DNS to point to exisitng AWS server and gmail. use namecheap.com
      I had to fight for a while to get this setup. Wait 2 days for DNS to propagate.
2. Setup a website just to say hello so when you choose domain it goes there.

Wait until those two steps are done.
