If you have a credit card, AWS EC2 is free for 1 year.
I am using it for running Amibroker. But I think 1x Xeon server will not be sufficient for Amibroker data service and Algo trading.

Isn't there some usage limit (I guess 750 hours) or 1 year?

I just registered for Amazon EC2.
Created one instance Windows 2012 64, 1 core , 1 GB RAM 30 GB Disk.
Looks good so far.
If I understood currently it is free for 1 year and after that They will charge if the usage is more than 750 hr per month.



But 1 month = 31*24 = 744 hrs so I don't understand.

May be the first year you can create multiple instances for free.
From 1 year onwards you have 1 instance for free and however u pay if you use more than 1 instance.

BTW, how was your experience of accessing VPS over RDP? I took a demo once and it as very slow to load everything. A very good internet connection speed is recommended to access I guess.

I see in Amazon EC2 that
CPU usage is always 100% if at all using any application.
Out of 30 GB disk space the windows has taken 22 GB space.
RAM usage is always 85% and higher
I think minimum 2 cores and 2 GB RAM needed.

Ankola-3 looks good. Try and share ur experince.
