These are a little guide for beginners who would like to run a EA Expert Advisor on a VPS. What is a VPS ?

It is a Virtuall Private Server. This Technology makes a Server payable for the normal people and private usage. A real Servermachine will be splitted into few (10-50 or more) virtual machines. That cut down the cost principally. I tryed some constellations and the best resultants was on a Forex Windows Server 2003 VPS with 512 MB RAM. On this configuration you are able to run several MT4 Plattforms at once. In my case I proved 5 Metatrader stable. You have just to install all MT4 in a several folder. But be carefull, the supplier can makes updates at Windows 2003 and so if they do this the system will be restarted. The trouble is, that your MT4 software dont start on a reboot automaticly. And so you must have an eye on your VPS. So you must better configure a auto restart of your metatrader plattform as an windows task.
To perplexed? Then you are able to use also one of some new established Metatrader Forex VPS Hostingservices for a bit more fee. Just upload your ea and let it run twenty-four hours a day!
