I've been using them since very long, and I'm currenlty owning 2 VPS + managing several others, without any problem of that kind.

I had in 10 months * 6 servers (making nearly 60 months for a single user) ONE problem, resolved in 1 hour chrono. I always got quick reply from Barry and the team.

I'm sorry you had bad times with CNS, but I'm a happy CNS customer so far

Cheers,
GE

VirtualPrivateServer for Trader

Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out whether or not to buy into Amazon's cloud computing service. I'm thinking it would be good to get a backtester or even an optimizer up there so I can get my results faster.

Another option is hosting the EA there and using Amazon as an alternative to a traditional VPS.

Thoughts?

I found a lot of scattered links. So, let's save some time here.
No lag time, solid company large enough, with set up for MT 4.
I found a great price, with security guard, 4 backbones in an office building.
Problem: when I needed to set up MT 4, it costs 50.00 a month for "tech support" unless you want to become a network Server programmer.

Thanks

hello there everyone,
i assume that like most of u i use RDP to connect my VPS. i've moderated a console mode shortcut following the instructions of ckyoung in this thread. the problem is: the console mode functions only from certain computer- and not from another. from another computer i am connected via new session, which cause my mt4 platforms to run agian from my startup folder, which causes double trades.

does anyone else has this problem? please help

i used to have this problem but i moved from vps to a much better dedicated server. a lil more exspensive but it's good now. anyways, make sure you disconnect first from wherever you are then reconnect at the next computer. sometimes, when i would close charts without removing EA's, I saw this happening as well. but now it will automatically disconnect from one compuetr if I connect to another computer with the company i am with

thanks ahead, guy melloul.

One of the risks using a VPS to run your Metatrader trading experts is that the server can go down for some reason and then your expert is no longer managing your trades without your knowledge.

I have been looking for a program that would automatically monitor the status of the VPS by pinging it regularly from another PC and if the ping reply fails then it should open up the backup Metatrader so the expert can continue managing the trading.

I found a way to use Dos to do just that very simply. In the attached Txt file you will find code that will ping the server IP address three times and if the third ping fails it will open up the Metatrader Terminal.

If you would like to try it out download the attached file and open it with notepad:
Replace xx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the IP address you would like to ping
Replace "C:\Program Files\MetaTrader - Alpari UK\terminal.exe" with the location of the Terminal.exe on your local pc you want to start. You can find the location by finding the Terminal.exe file in windows explorer and then right clicking the file, on the General tab you can copy it from the “Location”. If you want to start more than 1 terminal you can precede the file location with start "1", start "2" etc.

After adjusting as above save the file with a name “something.bat”.
Now schedule the file to be run on a regular basis by using Windows Scheduler: Start-> All Programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> Scheduled tasks
