VPS and related...

 
Hi,

I'm currently looking at getting a VPS to run my MT4 expert on.
A few questions for anyone with experience -

On my home Windows XP box, I set MT up as a system service (using srvany), so that I can guarantee it will always be running (even in the event of a power failure). I didn't have any luck doing this on a Windows 2003 VPS; I think this was because it was a headless (no display) Terminal Server, so MT couldn't create its application window (I saw that it was running, but could never access the GUI).

I presume most people running MT on a VPS simply run it as an application on startup and leave the system running? How do you get around system failures? (by using AutoAdminLogon ?)

Does anyone have any suggestions to get around this? Any particular company providing VPS or dedicated hosting to recommend? (My budget is fairly small, I just want a reliable solution that works)

Thanks,
David Shipman
