Switching VPS for better value

  • #1
  • First Post: Apr 14, 2020 2:03pm Apr 14, 2020 2:03pm
I am about to switch from CNS to Metatrader VPS (NY servers). I'm running five instances of MT4 with lightweight EAs/Indis in each. MT VPS seems to offer better value for money for my needs.

Any other recommendations before I go ahead? (No affiliate links please; I'll ask if interested.)

By the way, does anyone know if MT VPS is a white label? Cheers!

Forget about "MetaTrader VPS". It's not a VPS, it's a scam. There is no "server", there is no "private". You will lose your account.

"MetaTrader VPS" is hosted at Amazon AWS with a multitude of parallel MetaTrader installations (different traders) on a single guest OS instance (Windows guest). You will have only limited resources (without knowing), no access (it's not a VPS) and no access to your strategy. Your strategy will fail, whatever it is.

You will not be allowed to run five MT4 instances. You can only use a single MT4 installation with a single MetaTrader account. For 5 accounts you have to pay 5 times. A real VPS will be cheaper.
It takes blood, sweat and enough tears to wash away the blood.

Why do you want to switch away from CNS? What are you looking for and what's wrong with them? If you ask the right questions you may find help here.

Thank you so much, emmzett. I love this community!

I obviously didn't read the fine prints. Didn't know that they'd only support one MT4/account.

I had used Amazon AWS when they were running year-long trials. I remember them being more technically-geared than user-friendly.

I'm not unhappy with CNS. I just saw 3x amount of RAM for $5/mth less and I started itching. Just being my Scottish self really.

Used to be client there; everything's fine.

To your Scottish self :-)

I can recommend forexvps.net. They are white-label of fxvm.net and currently offer promo rates (I'm in no way affiliated). As a very satisfied customer since 2014 I run 3-5 MT4 instances on the smallest VPS plan. Server infrastructure of both companies is maintained by one and the same guy (Will Thomas). Management of both is run by Nick McDonald (look him up on youtube). He's trustworthy. However you shouldn't copy any of his FX signals. Let's say his predictive skills have potential to the upside :-)

Alright cheers. With the promo, it's still $2.75/mth more than what I'm paying, but I'll be getting 2x the RAM. I'll keep them in mind.

Well, I'm not sure whether you should trade at all if $2.75 is worth reasoning about value for you. Nothing personal, just my two cents...

I am using these people, very cheap, great uptime and fast setup, minutes in some cases. I pay about £7.50 pcm, 4gb ram, 150gb disc space. Runs about 12 instances of mt4 terminals concurrently.

Thanks valim. As I'm not technical at all, I think I might struggle with it.
