Installing and Running Ninja on a VPS - recommendations

[tickling]

Hi

What should be considered for running Ninja over a VPS ?
Should this be 2003 server or 2008 server (or does not matter) ? Which edition and why ?
What is the typical/recommended/minimal RAM/CPU needed for that ?
Are there any recommended VPS providers that partner with Ninjatrader ?

Can anyone share experiences in doing that and what configuration was chosen and why ?

Thanks for any answers

Hello tickling,

Please see the NinjaTrader installation guide at the link below.

It reflect Windows Server 2003. However other users are running NinjaTrader on 2008 as per the link below. Please note that we did not test this on our end and it is not officially supported.

The minimum requirements are 2 GM of RAM and P4 processor or higher.

Unfortunately, we do not have any VPS partners.

Jason, would NinjaTrader consider providing a VPS themselves? I've seen it with another platform & it's good.

I will forward your suggestion to provide a VPS ourselves to my superiors. I am not aware of any plans to provide a VPS in the near future.

Their is now a NinjaTrader Technology Partner which is providing trading VPS, Speedy Trading Servers.
I'm the founder, and will avoid to write how nice are my VPS, but it works fine: the uptime is good (100% these last five months), the latency still low (<1ms) for most popular data feed providers and brokers (the servers are near the CME).
