title: AWS SSL on EC2 instance without Load Balancer - NodeJS
body: <p>Is it possible to have an EC2 instance running, listening on <code>port 443</code>, without a <code>load balancer</code>? I'm trying right now in my <code>Node.JS</code> app but it doesn't work when I call the page using <code>https://</code>. However, if I set it to <code>port 80</code> everything works fine with <code>http://</code>. </p>
  
  <p>I had it working earlier with a <code>load balancer</code> and <code>route53</code>, but I don't want to pay $18/mo for an ELB anymore, especially when I only have one server running.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the help</p>
