I am looking for a new Virtual Private Server (Windows) provider. My provider is giving me way too many problems. I run 3-4 Metatrader stations on my VPS. Please share your experience about your current VPS hosting.
I used these guys for years but not for trading. highly recommended. Just get the whole damn budget server. Those guys that just give you a "piece" of a server usually pack so much shit on there its overloaded. 70 a month gets you your very own private server. http://www.servermatrix.com/

I see the cheapest one there is $70/month, but that is with Linux. If you change the OS option to Windows Server 2003 then another $20 is added. Ends up being ~$90/month.
I would need to have my trading accounts built up and making good monthly profit to justify that business cost.
VPS seems to be the cheaper route, but I do understand the possibility of the VPS server one is put on being oversold now or in the future.
I've actually had good, rapid response to my support questions from VPSLand. The issue I'm having is related to performance. I'm not getting my full share of machine resources, which is resulting in poor performance at times. At one point, when I logged in, the server was working at 100% CPU power, as a result of others' applications going. I asked them about it and didn't get adequate responses. I don't know if it's a common problem with other VPS providers or not.
Hi, I have a pertinent question that is prompted by the desire to have a more secure internet connection when using an Expert Advisor...If I have a profitable Expert Advisor and I'm using it with proper Money Management and after a year or two I'm trading with 10 standard lots per position(max trades one)and my internet goes down and I happen to have an open position on Cable and it goes against me 100 pips and the EA's SL is now no longer functioning. (I'm screwed unless the EA has the ability to close all positions as a safety measure.) Is this a case where the Virtual Private Server comes into play? I was under the impression that a VPS was mostly for the ability to have tons of available space but that a continual/perennial guaranteed internet connection is not possible anywhere????? Any feedback to enlighten me would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Well to my understanding most of VPS providers do guarantee 99.99% uptime, which means even if there is a power outage they would have a separate source of energy (batteries)/second source for internet connection. (BTW i think most VPS are sold with stand alone batteries). Anyways if your VPS shutsdown, it will restart itself, and you need to make sure to have Metatrader programmed as a service (fire daemon should do it) so it would start everytime VPS is rebooted.
