Hi,

anybody using AWS for their trading?

It's free for a year, has a datacenter in London.
And best: you are in control and can restart the instance, if the rdp connection doesn't work anymore (as I had with 4xsolutions).

I wonder, why it's not on the list of VPS.

Hi, I use AWS EC2 and have had no problems. I run 2 instances of MT4 with 15 charts. It's a great basic VPS for a couple of MT4's, if you are intending to use a lot of platforms running a lot of EA's then it will struggle.

AWS EC2 is a service from Amazon for virtual servers.
There are a bunch of low size servers free for 12 month.

It's not a dedicated trading platform, but why should it be?

@jimcameron
Thanks for your impression, which I'd second.
That's why I was wondering why it's not on the list.

Azure from Microsoft same issue.

I am using it for years. Even when you switch to paid mode after first year it is cheap and reliable.
IMHO it is much better than metaquotes VPS built in mt4 in all terms.

Tried it. Closed it. Incredibly slow. Ages to log in via RDC. Just hangs. Free. Get what you pay for.
Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.

Hi @Wamski I don't use fxvm because AWS works for me and it's free so I save $19 every month. Maybe other traders would find it useful to have a free VPS, and they can decide if it is good enough.

FXVM is very overpriced
1. There is nothing like forex VPS. Normal VPS with Windows is fine. Everyone should be capable to install mt4.
2. $274 per month for weak dedicated server? I can get much more powerful dedicated server for 60 bucks.

... and honestly, Amazon is one of the largest datacenter operator with multiple reduncy all over the worlds.
Big companies are hosting there, so why shouldn't we.

The smaller ones are more expensive, because they can't scale there costs.
I doubt they are better.

@Wamski

It's a lot to find there, from artificial intelligence to voice services.
Head for EC2 and launch a windows vps, that has the "free tier eligible" tag.

I recommend to select a datacenter near your broker.
