This subject greatly interests me too, as I plan to deploy AWS-based websites soon. I'll add what little I know, and join the original poster in asking for help. As others have told, yes, domain and hosting are formally separate. But many hosts offer registration, e.g. Yahoo!, and often the package price beats buying the two things separately. Anyway, the information related to AWS belongs to the hosting part only. I think that, unlike someone else said, a separate web server, or proxy (Apache), is neither required nor useful. The host system only has to open a port (?) to AWS sockets, right? And allow the AWS-based executable to run with the right parameters/permissions/ownership/priorities... It is these (currently, to me, slightly fuzzy) elements that I'd love to see well described. They are in the realm of the operating system, or at the most of some network software (IP?), but in any case below the level of webserving or Apache, right?
