RAM = Performance. In otherwords the more RAM you have, the better your apps will run. Disk space isn't an issue, 5 gig should be enough for you, but get at least 512 mb RAM, 1 gb if you can find it.

I agree with 4xCoder but would add that you will need a windows VPS... A VPS with Windows Server 2003 is more than sufficient.

Ram is everything and MT4 is very hungry when running backtests so I would recommend NOT running backtests on our VPS.

1 have 1gb of ram on my VPS and MT4 uses about 30% of that.

Either should be fine. I run metatrader on both.
