Hosting a Laravel framework website with AWS

Maybe this is a wrong section, but I've created (most) of a website. I used the Laravel framework, I have a mysql database attached. I want to host the website through Amazon Web services. Which AWS service would i need? it's a very basic website; users have the ability to download music, and a verryy small mysql database is being used. I would think either EC2 or Elastic Beanstalk? i'm having a hard time determining the exact differences between those.

@johnston907 Basically EC2 is a server, Elastic Beanstalk is a service that uses EC2 to deploy your app.
