Windows Server 2008 Standard and 512MB RAM will get you capacity for at least 6 MT instances

Hi friends here :-$
someone with experience about MetaTrader and VPS can please give a look here
and give me some feedback?
Price is ok (for Europe)? Some pos/neg Experience about this company?
Thanx and nice evening
I wouldn't recommend getting any 'Forex' VPS service. Just get a VPS from a large 'normal' hosting company. Prices are likely to be lower and it's much more secure (since these companies won't know or care that u r hosting EA's...).

Hi Gordon,
I already have a number of Domains and multiple hosting accounts with a large, very economical provider that I am not using as of yet. I must have about 15 domains registered and can run a hosting account for each one all in the same very reasonably priced package. Then of course each one has numerous Sub-Domains available. I wonder if I can get more throughput bandwidth utilizing sub domains or if it just more CPU overhead that will bog the VPS down more and only have a fixed maximum of bandwidth for each hosting account regardless.
I'm not sure exactly how to set it up, but obviously I need to install numerous MT4 clients to start with.
I'm not sure how I will then log onto the MT4 clients as they are basically a domain and hosting provider. I don't know if they have VPS, though given their size and breadth I'd be very surprised if the don't have VPS available or if I can just utilize a regular web hosting account. I've never used a VPS as of yet so don't know what is involved. I'll check it out soon and see what I can ferret out.
Again, a very good tip and idea.
Thanks! . (< 8)

FWIW, I agree totally with the opinion to go for a vanilla (ie. non forex specific) hosting company, and have expressed this view a number of times on here for the same reasons given by Gordon.
What I've done, and would recommend, was to find the following type of hosting company:
- I used a local small firm rather than a "stack em high, sell em cheap" web/email hosting specialist
- I chose in this way to get flexibility/scalability on demand should I need it (eg. for deploying our own MT4 Server, a bridge, other platforms such as PTM with high memory footprints etc.)
- Since we are trading large amounts of other people's money, it is good to have the option of physical access to the site if the merde hits the fan
- They allow me to decide on my own remote access solution (I use LogMeIn Free supported by Dropbox Free in order to manage backups, software updates etc.)
- Another thing that swayed me was that this company is also quite active in terms of commissioning its own trans-ocean high-bandwidth, pipes allowing us dedicated low-latency connectivity to global institutional trading centres
Hope this helps.

It sounds to me like u have a website hosting package... This can't be used for hosting MT4. You need a VPS (or a dedicated server) running Windows Server 2003 or 2008 (both work fine).
There are many tutorials for how to setup a VPS (or dedicated server) with MT4 on the web... Just google it.
Windows Server product not reqd. XP will do just fine.
