This website is hosted on AWS EC2.
This project proposes the development of a cloud-based automobile service website hosted on an Infrastructure as a Service platform using Amazon EC2. The website will provide basic information about automobile services such as oil changes, brake checks, engine repair, tyre replacement, and general vehicle maintenance. The goal of the project is to create a simple but functional website that demonstrates the practical use of cloud hosting, Linux server configuration, and basic web development skills. The site will be deployed on an Ubuntu Linux server running on AWS EC2. Apache2 will be used as the web server software to host the website and make it publicly accessible through a public IP address. The website itself will be created using basic HTML, with the possibility of adding CSS later to improve its appearance and layout. At this stage, the focus is on successfully launching the site in the cloud and ensuring that it is accessible, stable, and correctly configured. This project is relevant because many businesses in the automotive industry use online platforms to present their services and communicate with customers. A cloud-hosted website provides flexibility, availability, and real-world value. In future development, the website could be expanded to include online booking forms, service pricing, customer contact forms, and database support. By completing this project, I will develop skills in server setup, command-line administration, cloud computing, and website deployment while applying the concepts taught in ICT171.
This project uses the MIT License. I chose this license because it is simple, widely recognised, and easy to understand. It allows others to use, copy, modify, and distribute the project with very few restrictions, while still giving credit to the original creator. This makes it suitable for a small educational website project because it supports openness and sharing. The MIT License is also commonly used in software and web development, making it a practical and appropriate choice for this cloud server project.
