[Domestic and International VPS Comparison] Features and How to Deploy Contabo (ConTabo) with High Cost Performance
When I think about starting automated trading with FX, I tend to consider installing a VPS (Virtual Private Server).
And as the number of MT4s and EAs increases, a higher-spec VPS becomes necessary.
I had been using ABLENET's 1GB plan, but as MT4 and the number of EAs gradually grew, I started considering a new VPS, including changing ABLENET plans.
However, domestic VPS is somehow more expensive than overseas options, so it isn’t cost-effective.
Therefore, after adding overseas VPS as an option and reviewing them,
Contabo (Kontabo) is too cost-effective!! Σ(゜Д゜;)
Below is the comparison table of the VPSs I was considering.
The comparison table includes Windows OS and uses the cheapest SSD plan from each company.

Even with the campaign price, Contabo’s cost performance is unmatched, but for those who prefer domestic options, this campaign is nice, I think.
Contabo’s cost performance is amazing as shown in the comparison table!
The following content explains the advantages and disadvantages of Contabo and how to implement it from there!
