Hi guys,
I know this is going to look like a thinly disguised advertisement for a VPS provider, but take a look at my previous posts, I'm interested in testing EA's and strategies, not promoting VPS services.
However, I've used lots and lots and different VPS providers over the years (not just for forex, for work too), and they all have their drawbacks.
The biggest problem I tend to have with using a VPS for forex is that they tend to have downtime or restart, which means MT4 shuts down. Or they are pretty expensive for a windows version, which can be annoying if you're just running demo and throwing £30+ down the drain every month.
I've been using Memset for about 5 months now and they have been absolutely faultless.
What's even better is that it only costs me £15 per month for a windows VPS. I'm pretty sure that's the cheapest I've used.
Mods, I apologise if this is an infraction of the rules, and if so, please delete this post.
However, there are so many terrible VPS services out there (and believe me, I've tried them all!) I'm just sharing one that finally seems to offer what I need, and hopefully other FF traders can benefit too.
I'm running 8 MT4 platforms at once, all with some pretty resource heavy EAs, and it doesn't flinch. It's hasn't restarted once and I haven't had any down time yet.
Not sure whether they will be any use for US based traders, but I'm in the UK using Alpari UK and FinFx and everything has been running great.
Thanks
Steven
