Domain Registered with Reselleclub & Server Trying to Setup on AWS for React, Node and MySQL

Question

Good Morning,
I am absolutely new to AWS. Through google I learnt that AWS offers free services to host a website for 1 year. Since I am starting a new journal, I have zero revenue right now. Hence I am looking for free services or if it isn't free it should be bare minimum and charged into Indian rupees. Please understand I am an individual not a company. I am trying to build my idea and see how it works in the market. If it succeeds and I start making revenue/profit, then i would be in condition to pay to AWS as well.

Background and Real Scenario : 
1. I have built 2 EC2 instances/VMs. 
         a)  First VM to store the code written in React, Node, CSS, Javascript and Tailwind CSS. This server will install all of these languages and code will be kept there.
         b)  Second Virtual Machine will have installation of MYSQL  database and MYSQL workbench to run the 
 SQL queries and store the data into this database.

2. My domain is purchased from resellerclub.com and I want to keep the DNS management there only for domain since it is free (e.g. creating a records, cname records, mx records etc) for me on Resellerclub. I did try to buy the domain aws but it is 4 times costlier than resellerclub. Hence, i will keep the domain and management of the domain there itself and do not want to transfer on AWS. Technically i want to use AWS for website hosting only.

I would like to understand the following :

1. How do I create a namespace server / name which I can point to DNS of my domain ijst.international which is in Resellerclub control (not on AWS). I would like to know detailed step by step instruction. Please avoid sharing articles from AWS as I have been trying to read and understand route53 from last 1 week and still unable to understand this. I am just looking for precise steps.

2. Is this service of domain fall under free tier? If not how much I will have to pay per year ?
3. Do I need to keep virtual machines with public IP to achieve my goal loading the website?
4. How do I secure my servers so that no hacker can hack the servers like installing antivirus, firewalls etc and also would like to know the associated cost with these items. I'll prefer the free solutions but if it's not available then would like to know the associated cost per year

1. **How do I create a namespace server / name which I can point to DNS of my domain ijst.international which is in Resellerclub control (not on AWS)?**
   - You don't need to create a namespace in AWS. Instead, point your domain to your AWS resources by creating appropriate records in your DNS management at Resellerclub.

2. **Is this service of domain fall under free tier? If not how much I will have to pay per year?**
   - AWS offers a free tier for many services for 12 months. If you exceed the free tier limits, you'll be charged at the standard rate. The exact costs can vary based on the services and resources you use.

3. **Do I need to keep virtual machines with public IP to achieve my goal loading the website?**
   - Your EC2 instances need a public IP address to be accessible over the internet.

4. **How do I secure my servers so that no hacker can hack the servers like installing antivirus, firewalls etc and also would like to know the associated cost with these items?**
   - Security in AWS is a shared responsibility. AWS provides a variety of tools and services to help secure your resources. This includes tasks like controlling network access to your instances, managing the credentials used to connect to your instances, and managing the guest operating system and software deployed to the guest operating system.
