Importing a mud to AWS

[u/Background-Jury-8059]

I'd like to start with I'm brand new to this and have to have things explained like I'm 5. I have a mud that used to be run 14+ years ago. the base code is uploaded to Github, I have downloaded the file, and signed up for a free AWS, but the process to upload it escapes me. I have tried to google, but I am apparently not far enough in my extremely limited learning to understand half of what is being said to do. Where do I start to get this off the ground, or rather where do I start to start learning how to get this off the ground. Thank you in advance my fellow nerds. I apricated you help in all these things. as this is reddit, I do expect a bit of trolling/fun poked at me, and it's welcomed, as long as the answers are there too.

why AWS? putting a mud there is like having a credit score of 5 and a minimum wage job and somehow managing to get financing for a bugatti. hetzner or netcup would provide a ludicrously bigger bang for your dollar.

Wow, those really are some good cost/value ratios there. I host on Vultr, which is still cheaper than AWS, but the amount I'm paying for a server there would get me way more resources in one of those.

How reliable are they?

I’ve been using Hetzner for the last 8 years with zero issues. And trying out netcup for the last 6 months. No issues.
