If you don't have prior experience in networking or permissions, it will take some time for you to understand the concepts to properly secure a standalone server. The same concept applies to AWS. You are paying for the hardware, not someone to hold your hand through the process.

And if you can't figure security out by yourself, pay someone to hold your hand.

This. Security is as much a tradition as it is a set of technologies. Its better to learn from a master than from a costly mistake, and its better to learn how to do it rather than to pay to have it done for you.
