Looks like my next step is to reserve an Elastic IP address for her, assign it to the VM's "public IP address", and then change my DNS to point to it. After that, I believe I'll just need to go through my changes and change the old dns name ("<a href="http://ec2-NN-NN-NN-NN.compute-1.amazonaws.com">ec2-NN-NN-NN-NN.compute-1.amazonaws.com</a>") to the correct one ("<a href="http://tomshiro.org">tomshiro.org</a>").

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
