Amazon's EC2 works very well. They even have a free tier (useful for
building/testing). With a Debian based instance (e.g., Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)
you should be able to use the official PyLith binaries as it is.
If you want you can also compile everything from source. I do have some
instructions for building PETSc (top half in
http://www.geology.wisc.edu/~stali/defmod/ec2.txt). After that just
follow PyLith's own installation instructions.
You can even install ParaView and visualize remotely (using ParaView's
python scripts). That way you wont have to frequently transfer files
(Amazon charges for transferring data) for viz.
For building everything get the free tier machine. When you are ready to
run large problems, simply launch the instance on the larger hardware
and it will all work fine. The only problem is that they charge you by
the hour and not the minute.
