Free VPS for 12 months

[⭐ musketeer]

Hi All :)

It has been long time I did not been here, but still remember that great forum :)

 

in short: if anyone is interested in VPS (no matter for trading or not) could get amazonaws free for 12 months - no kidding... I personally got few instances. The process should not get more than 10 minutes literally...

These are the good news, the bad is that the hosted OS is Server2008 and the (free) option is with 640 MB of RAM and a single core CPU, which allow only few MT4 to run (if they do not eat much memory and CPU)

Anyway I think that few of you might find it useful, so enjoy it :)

 

Here are the instructions:

1. Open an account here: http://aws.amazon.com/

2. Click on EC2 and go for "New instance"

 

here will post some screenshots:

when i click ec2 on the console, i got this message

 

You must sign up for Amazon EC2 before you can use the Amazon EC2 Console.

It's quick and free to sign up, just click the button below.

 

if i click signup, it will ask me to input credit card # and billing address

so i must go through this step before i can create a new instance ?

Yes, you should go through that.

Thank you very much Musketeer, what is your experience with these free VPS ? Is it for instance stable enough to have a robot running your account ?

They (Amazon) have a good explanations about the CPU resources in every package. So, basically the answer is "yes". If you get the MT4/5 and the EA once settled, and if you like the free/used resources (CPU,RAM) it would works OK and it is reliable.

I have tried, very fast and stable :_)

They ask your card information and billing address. Won't they charge you later for using their servers?

They will email you before your free trial ends. You have the option to end the service or pay.

 

I am out of my free trial and now paying as I couldn't be bothered moving my setup to another VPS.
