A little digging in the BigBlueButton email archives yields simple instructions on using AWS to host BigBlueButton. See the last post on this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/bigbluebutton-users/browse_thread/thread/f7a780bebff4990a I'm going to try this!

I'd like to find a host provider for an instance of BigBlueButton[1] to use occasionally for family meetings. Below is what I imagine the need to be. Server: - A Ubuntu 10.04 virtual machine on a shared host -- 2GB of RAM -- 5GB disk space -- I have root access of the VM via ssh -- Access to the VM on port 80 from the Internet -- On this VM I would install BigBlueButton according to the project's easy instructions[2] Use: Once or twice a month 5-8 people would connect for an hour or two for discussion and chatting. Video (webcam) and audio (VoIP) capabilities of BigBlueButton would be actively used during these sessions. Bandwidth: The FAQ page for the project lists general calucations for bandwidth[3]. Based on that page and my suggested use model I think we would use about 300-480 kbytes/sec incoming and 900-2400 kbytes/sec outgoing bandwidth. Payment: Obviously no cost would be cool but not expected. What I'd like to do is pay-per-use. Schedule the meeting in advance and pay some reasonable fee for each time we use it. Existing Options: - Generic Conferencing[4] - Has a pay-per-month limited by number of attendees. Provides telephone dial-in too which probably adds to the price. No contract, so could work. - HostBBB[5] - Has shared hosts combined with CMS for $25 per month and $50 setup fee. Too much money and capability for what I want. - Self host at home - Would work fine once I have the box together. Violates my terms of use with my Cox cable, the main reason for finding hosting elsewhere. Can any of you recommend a solution from your hosting provider experiences? Maybe a "standard" hosting service with enough bandwidth would work?
