 To use Filestash, you can either:
-1. Run the application from the cloud via the [AWS Marketplace](/redirect.html?url=https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-ngwkedxz2dtrk)
+1. Run the application from the cloud via the [AWS Marketplace](/install-cloud.html)
 2. Self-host the application on your own server and manage everything yourself: [see the documentation](/docs/install-and-upgrade/)
 3. Play around with the public [demos](https://demo.filestash.app):

+We will be assuming you already have an AWS Account. If that's not the case, you can either [create an account on your own](https://aws.amazon.com/resources/create-account/) or [reach out to us](/pricing/?modal=enterprise) and we will look after the entire hosting on your behalf. 
+
+This guide is split in 3 parts:
+
+1. [part 1: Register the product on AWS](#step1-register-to-our-product)
+2. [part 2: Do some configuration magics from AWS](#step2-aws-configuration)
+3. [part 3: Access the software](#step3-access-the-software)
+
+# Step1: Register to our product
+
+From the AWS marketplace, subscribe to our product from our <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-ngwkedxz2dtrk">vendor page</a>:

+
+At this stage, the status should show pending for 1 or 2 minutes depending on the phase of the moon but once done, you will be presented with this screen:

+# Step2: AWS Configuration

+
+You now have 2 options:
+
+- OPTION1: you want to use your own domain name. In that scenario, create either a CNAME or A record that points to the machine. Once this is done, access the application via your domain name using HTTP.
+
+- OPTION2: you don't care about the domain name for now. In that scenario, access the machine via HTTP. In my scenario, the URL is: http://3.236.113.29

+<img src="/img/posts/2022-02-21-image0040.png" class="fancy" />
+
+This will setup SSL certificate so you can access your application via HTTPS. After a few seconds, you will be great by Filestash:

+
+*Tips*: if you don't use your own domain name but the IP address or the amazonaws.com domain, Filestash will generate self signed certificate meaning users will be asked to follow through a scary prompt to access the application. That prompt won't be there if you use your own domain name.
