I have built a java web application on Eclipse. But i am naive in terms of making an application live i.e. deploy it online. I have tried using Cloudbees, and succeeded in deploying it at run@cloud there, but could not see it actually running. I haven't purchased any domain name as of now, therefore I would like to try it on any free domain first. If I want to make that application live, what would be the exact steps that I'll have to follow ?
