If you create an AWS account, and opt in for the free 1 year, and then go to services ->EC2, and create instance, and choose a Windows instance (free tier eligable), then toss in http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=38836 that would get you started.

You'd need to do some configuration for the security policies, and adjust the eqemu_config.xml, but that's probably the fastest/easiest way currently.

I'm unsure how much memory the Windows tier gives you, and how much a running EQEMU instance is in a windows environment, but potentially could do it all on free.
