the loss of 3% of packets in about half an hour, which is basically a normal result

you can order a test server

there is no guaranteed uptime (Service Level Agreement/SLA).)
but there are compensations for, like, rare routine maintenance

however, the stated 99% availability is very far from ideal
this lack of communication is no more than 3.65 days a year = = = 7.20 hours a month = = = 1.68 hours a week

probably acceptable is the availability of 99.8%, i.e. in a year of idle time no more than 17.52 hours (86.23 minutes per month, 20.16 minutes per week)
and the ideal is 99.9% availability, i.e. 8.76 hours of downtime per month, 43.8 minutes per week, 10.1 minutes per week

Very decent hosting provider, myforexvps they specialize in VPS for forex, although it seems there are other options. I trade on their VPS for the 6th month, so for all the time there was not a single failure or reboot. Previously, this was an actual problem while sitting with other hosters, maybe the iron is the reason. These are not some kind of i7 artisanal assembly ala home computer, and Xeon. At first I did not believe that for such a price you can find a serious VPS equipment, it turned out that you can What else is good, the caliper is always online, they answered immediately. In short, I strongly recommend it.

thank you brother, it's time for me to change my grandfather)

 

[Sullivan]

By recommendation (the post above, and thanks to him) connected about a month ago myforexvps. The deadline is certainly short, but at the moment I can say the following-support is almost always online, if offline, then they respond through the ticket system on the site. They work quickly, they installed the VPS in 15-30min. And in a month I didn't have to write to them anymore, everything works like clockwork. Pings are very fast, some are listed in the post above, but if someone needs it, I can ping them at any specific addresses. I talked to tech support in the chat, offered a partner , but I don't know how much he is interested in it now.

 

[Lamar]

Hello everyone There is such a site _http: / / www. host1free. com/. You can get a free VPS on it. Q: Has anyone used it? And in general, can it be used for forex?

 

[Gilmar]

I join you, for 2 months there were no reboots. The hoster is primarily interested in performance.
For 30$, they offer 2x2, 8GHz and 512MB of RAM, I use it mainly for running the optimization of Expert Advisors. Also a nice bonus is 3 datacenters, Germany, USA with the ability to choose the minimum ping to your broker. 50% discount for the first month%

 

[Maverick]

What is more critical for Forex terminals-RAM or processor?

 

[Malcolm]

It depends on the owls you're going to hang on it.

 

[Kyler]

I want to tell you about my adventures with a German hoster webtropia.com

I liked their ads for root-server and thought that it would be a good machine for optimization, I ordered it for a month.. At the time of placing the order, it was not possible to choose Win2016, as I did not try, and therefore immediately after the order, I wrote to the support that I would put this particular operating system.

I paid 25 euros, got access and saw 2012 there, again turned to support, was surprised that my request was not listened to and did not put what was required.. I was objected that it was my own fault and I don't want to vote now (free translation from German), but after searching the site, I found an error: 2016 could be ordered only on the German version of the site, and in the English version there was a link-picture, but it still led to 2012. I poked them in the nose with this page, showing the html code and demonstrating where the link leads, the employee replied that I was right (sic!) and cheekily offered to make a new order but from the German version of the site..
Cheeky, because I don't care about two servers and 25 euros thrown away?

It's a matter of principle - a mistake on their part is obvious, I demanded to fulfill my order or return the money for this one and only then, on their advice, I will make a new one..
Then something completely incomprehensible began: the server was blocked, they said that they would return the money and for some reason they billed me for 25 euros! As a result, there is no server, the 25 that I paid is also not there (for now-I will be objective) and there is my debt for 25 euros, xs for what..
I write to them relatively infrequently - in three days from my side only 5 messages, but they do not respond to the last one, with a reasonable question, why I was not replaced with an order that could not be correct due to their error on the website. The error, by the way, was fixed very quickly - only my screenshots remained..

I don't want to drive a wave and give them anti-advertising right away, but the situation is very strange.. In general, the speed there is good and the conditions are not bad (it turned out almost advertising), but the probability that you will be thrown is very high.. I'll probably wait for a while and try to take other steps..

P.S. Perhaps it was worth taking 2012 and calming down, but the belief in his rightness, inspired a clear mistake - I did not think that the attitude would be so piggy.

Added:

I think it is necessary to add that all the problems are solved, they attributed the debt to me by mistake and apologized - I will not change the text, because it is written with a pen, but it is worth admitting that I could not find such a powerful car in other places and at such a good price, so their offer can be considered unique.
