Probably a http://serverfault.com question, likely to be closed. But here are the pointers,

1. Get an account from Cloud service providers like AWS.,
2. Run a (virtual) machine of your choice,
3. Use ssh/rdc to connect and install all the software that you need,
4. Copy your software/application there.
5. Start your service. Test if the works when you access using public IP/DNS.
6. Get a Domain name -- create an A Name record for the domain using this machine's IP.

Use this domain for accessing your app/service.

Do not forget to take-backup/create-image of your machine.
