I have tried both Azure and ChartVPS and liked both for different reasons. In fact, I do not need this tool right now, but will need in a year or so. Anybody uses either one on long-term basis here? Any caveats? All I need in the future is a back-up machine with CQG. My primary trading is done on old boxes and a laptop at the office running Photon Trader, TOS and QTrader (AMP). Nothing fancy, discretionary swing trading. Just 2 monitors and I am reducing to 1 soon. tia
Thank you. Have you been using them for a long period of time? Seems like they simply resell MSFT licenses and their geo-location on outdated hardware. I use a lot of outdated hardware myself, and it works admirably for my needs, but I never ran a business that way. Anyway, if you have a good experience with them, that is all that counts.
I don’t use them but they are in downtown Chicago just a few milliseconds to CME aurora data centre.
I just checked them out, definitely not 20-30% of the cost of aws for a standard compute instance. For around $120/m I expect better specs for a standalone instance. If interested I can dig up some service I previously used that offers way better specs for a hosted dedicated server instance. But no guarantee re latencies to any money centers
Check out https://www.serverpronto.com/compare.php I used their 129 dollar/m server before and it was quite good despite the older hardware, it comes with 32gb,2 CPUs (8 cores total) I also liked https://www.hivelocity.net/dedicated-servers/#instant-bare-metal-servers https://secure.perfectip.net/orderOption.php?productId=1004&langId=-1 https://www.server4you.com/dedicated-server
