Virtual Private Servers and remote desktops are Microsoft Windows virtual environments and acts like stand-alone computers hosted in a data center and always on to faithfully run your software. It keep running, even if you lose your Internet connection or run out of battery. The Internet speed to your trader’s desktop is always fast, regardless of your own connection speed. Traders use the Remote Desktop client to easily access their server. This allows the trader to close the remote desktop client and even shut down their computer, while leaving applications running normally inside the trading server. Trading applications benefit from the extremely high speed Internet connectivity of a hosted server. Traders enjoy an "always running" desktop, running on the already familiar Microsoft Windows platform, hosting your robot. Online traders benefit from the same technology used to host redundant online applications found only in major data centers.
VPS's benefit from bandwidth - the kind of bandwidth only available in a real data center, while requiring minimal Internet bandwidth to support the remote desktop connection. A favorite with Meta Trader and VTTrader user's, these virtual desktop plans bundle the speed of hosted servers with a Windows application suite designed for traders. Virtual Desktops perform and execute exactly like stand-alone servers; they can be rebooted independently and have users, IP addresses, processes, system libraries and configuration files. They even support remote sound and printing with free Virtual Desktop Feature & Security Pack!
The non-paged pool on a 32 bit node is 256MB and 128GB on 64 bit nodes - 500 times larger. The x64 architecture enjoys a substantial advantage in overall I/O efficiency and throughput. With support for greater physical memory and memory address space, caches can be substantially larger than in 32-bit Windows, enabling the Windows x64 Editions to fully utilize the improved I/O hardware available and increase overall I/O performance. The larger address space allows more I/O to be in progress simultaneously. Even 32-bit applications can benefit from this improvement. This is especially beneficial to users that require a lot of SSL sessions, such as online traders, because there is more memory available quickly to open and maintain SSL sessions.
Steps to setup your Virtual Private Server - EA Hosting
Once your server is setup, you can login using Windows Remote Desktop Connection, usually found in accessories (start – programs – accessories) it may be in system tools depending on your windows installation. If for some reason you do not have RDC on your machine you can install it by going to Add/Remove Software and Add Windows components. RDC is included with all Windows installations. Or you can dowload it here:
Remote Desktop Connection Software Download –
Type in your IP then /console to always be logged in to console. Console session is 'what you would see as if you were physically in front of the server'. With the new Terminal Services release it is possible to create multiple virtual sessions using the same windows username, so if you do not use /console then you could open several sessions, and your programs that were running on other sessions will not be seen. Windows Remote Desktop is designed for simple use.
Perform server admin (such as fixing any errors) and proceed to windows update:
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
Software: Do not install any software not connected to the execution of strategies (or anything not connected to your core purpose
Meta Trader - Velocity 4x Demo: For more than 1 installation of MT, reinstall using a different directory. If you are using multiple accounts, name the directory after the account name, such as /Velocity Trader 5764.
Security Warning: Do not use this server for browsing or any general functions. When browsing use high security settings on the browser at all times.
Windows Virtual Environment (VE) logon
Your Administrative Virtual Desktop logon information is as follows:
In order to logon, you will first need the IP address or host name, user name and password.
You should already have the IP address or host name of your VE. This was sent to you at signup. If you do not have the IP address then it can be identified by logging into our control panel and clicking over to the VE 'system'.
The default user name for Windows VE's is Administrator. The password was entered by the subscriber at signup. Please open a support ticket to reset the Administrator password.
How to Logon:
Windows subscribers can remote desktop to their virtual environment directly through remote desktop connection (available for Windows and Macintosh) or through a web enabled remote desktop in Virtuozzo Power Panel (VZPP). By utilizing both VZPP and Windows remote desktop as available clients, you can logon to your remote desktop from most any Internet connected computer. Whenever possible, I recommend using the built in Windows remote desktop client because it will let you share drives, printers, sound, etc..
Logon to the remote desktop with the "Remote Desktop Connection" program, already available in your windows computer.
Most windows computers have a remote desktop client already installed. You can also download updated clients from our support page. Remote desktop clients are also available for Macintosh. Please visit our support page to download the latest windows remote desktop client.
From Windows machines, start->programs->accessories->communications-> download the latest windows remote desktop client.

- virtual private servers
One of the servers I recommend because of their affordability and prompt customer support from the company can be a good starting point.
When the Remote Desktop Connection client runs, you will see a box like this:
Click 'options'
In the 'Computer' box, enter the IP address or host name of the VE.
Also enter 'Administrator' in the User Name box, and the password you entered at setup.
Then click the 'Local Resources' tab
Make sure 'Disk Drives' and 'Printers' are checked. This will allow you to access your local printer and disk drives in the remote desktop.
You can now opt to click the 'General' tab and save this profile. We recommend saving it on your desktop so you can access it easily.
Click 'connect' to logon. In some cases, you may need to enter your User and Password again (Administrator / what you setup)
Windows environments are setup with the Administrator password set to what you entered at signup. You can reset the Administrator password in our control panel.
If you can't see your printer then install its driver in the virtual desktop. To access your local disk drives, simply open the Windows explorer inside the virtual desktop. Your local disk drives will be mapped, allowing you to copy files to your virtual desktop. You are, of course, free to use the web browser and download/install your favorite software in the virtual desktop.
How To Install MT4 and Expert Advisor On The Virtual Server
The first thing to do is to visit your broker anduse their own custom version of MT4, and in that case you will open the virtual desktop web browser to visit your broker, download and install MT4.
If you open the windows file explorer on the virtual desktop, you will notice that your local C disk is mapped to the virtual desktop session. Simply navigate to your C drive (from the virtual desktop),and find the metatrader/experts folder. copy the entire folder to the MT4/experts folder on the virtual desktop and you are ready to go!
Two things to remember here are:
If your broker uses a
special version of MT4, then you should use the web browser on the desktop to
visit the broker, download and install it....
when you are done and ready to leave the computer, do not log off...instead, disconnect to keep your programs running. to disconnect, roll the mouse to the top of the screen and click the X in the yellow bar.When you logon again, you will rejoin your running session. You can also log back on from a different machine or even your windows mobile cell phone using the built in terminal service client.
