In many cases applications need specific software that tells them how to run as a service. I do not know of a reliable way to do what you are asking in Windows. In linux it is fairly simple
I am offering a beta of a hosting service which will automatically monitor, restart, etc EA.

daraknor,
Thanks for the offer, but i would like to know how to fix it, since i am already paying for the monthly VPS service. So if anyone knows how to setup service for metatrader on Windows Server, please let me know...............
I read your post again, and you can probably achieve similar results doing something much easier. Put a shortcut to MT4 in you Programs> STartup folder on the start menu. You can navigate there by right clicking the start button and choosing explore. This will require that user to automatically log in before it will work.
You can also add it to the registry,
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\RunServices
The entry would be "C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\terminal.exe" or whatever your path is. THis would not require the user to log in but it is rather advanced.

There is a utility from MS to run a normal application as a Windows Service ... it's called srvany and you can find more info at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890 but I think that might be difficult for the monitoring of the application and I doubt that you could actually see the MT4 window.
Also running this stuff on a VPS you may want to consider running the DataService from MetaTrader to optimise your network bandwidth. This would definitely help you out if you were running multiple MT4 from a single broker. Just make sure that you configure your MT4 clients to actually use the DataService installed on your local VPS.
XYNTService.exe is a good solution to start multiple MT4's without login.
This solution is working on a seperate windows server, but on VPS account, I could not successfully setup it.
Hope this solves. But there is a deep problem on VPS, to autostart an exe, before login. I could not discovered yet. Possibly some resource/user right etc. problem...... snip ...
For the autostart you need what I described earlier. A few posts above this one ... srvany from MS. Hope this solves your problem. This should work as under the VPS solution you have the server dedicated to yourself, without any restrictions. You need to be an admin to set this up on the VPS box.
