Head over to and create an account
Once you have created an account, you will be redirected to the AWS Management Console. Make sure you select "EC2" to get taken to the dashboard
On the top right corner, make sure you choose your location as "N. Virginia"
Press launch instance and you will be taken to a page where you can choose your machine
Look for either "Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Base - ami-0f7122ac3de6f22b2" or "Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Base"
Select the machine you prefer, then choose either c5n.large, c5n.xlarge, c5n.2xlarge, c5n.4xlarge and so one. This depends on how many bots you will be running on the server. Personally, I use c5n.2xlarge
Press "Next: Configure Instance Details" on the bottom right corner
Look for "Tenancy" and change it from "Shared - Run a shared hardware instance" to "Dedicated - Run a Dedicated instance" A dedicated instance is much more stable than a shared one and just runs better overall.
Press "Review and Launch" and launch your server
The server will take some time so be patient
Once it launches select "Create a new key pair" and name it anything you want. make sure you download the key by pressing "Download Key Pair" This file that you download is the password to the server
Launch the instance and connect to it
Upload the key that you downloaded and decrypt it, which will reveal the password
Search "Server Manager" in the search bar which will bring you to the dashboard
Press "Configure this local server" and where you see "IE Enhanced Security Configuration" you would want to change it from "On" to "Off" Turn off for administrators and Users and press OK
Go back and select "Add roles and features", select next until you see ".Net Framework 3.5" select that option and press next until it lets you install
Now you are able to download your bots and use them on the server. Once you are done with the server, make sure you back to the EC2 Dashboard and select the server and press "Terminate" if you do not do this, you will be charged for the server, even if your not running it
