Renting a server for an EA - page 4

 

It sounds as if you are discussing plans for world domination. Then, yes, that is something to worry about. And poking around in other people's files, let alone using an account, is simply a criminal matter. And in many countries, people somehow trust various services. They open the door to strangers - no one expects to be hit on the head with a crowbar. And they give plastic cards to shop assistants. I understand what life in Russia is like when you can get your ass kicked in the street for three kopecks. And observance of the law - "the law is like a rod - where you turn, that's where it came from". A general summary - trust people. And you can well trust the services that work in civilized countries. Russia, unfortunately, is still too early to qualify as such.

The first president of the USSR also believed the civilian countries that NATO would not expand to the east.)

And plastic cards are given to vendors - it's an obvious problem on an industrial scale.

A remote server can be hacked, preventive maintenance is less likely, but you can't rule out service staff sticking their noses in or hackers

 

I will also make my own suggestions.

IMHO, the most convenient thing is to buy a better UPS, make a backup Internet channel (some ADSL/LAN, or GPRS with some amount of money without a subscription fee, I think that will be enough). If you can afford (or what kind of trader you are) better buy a second simple computer with a weak video and other things, as long as your algorithms are good (this will get rid of cooling buzz and prolong operation of the UPS). It can be placed in a hallway, kitchen or balcony, wherever you find a comfortable place and place it, and access will be remote.

If at home, no way, it is better to rent a server at any non-specialized hosting. Minus is that you will have to lift and configure the server yourself, and the plus is that the hoster will not be very interested in what you do exactly there (as long as the abuses that there is child porn or warez did not come), as opposed to specialized hosts.

Put a Silent video card

120mm low-energy extractor fan

chimney should rest on the cpu

cable ties

and stuff like that to keep the system quiet.

That's all right.

But you were away for a week or two. Holiday, visiting family...

How long will the PC last on the UPS? Half an hour, an hour, two hours? Yeah, and PCs and Windows don't last forever...

You will say that trading can be stopped for a while. Yes, it is a way out, but not the best one.

Definitely stop or switch to 'low-risk' mode.

Otherwise at least you'll ruin your holiday for yourself and your loved ones, well at most you're not limited. :))

Um... UPS is an uninterrupted power supply (in case of a power outage).

I don't see what that's got to do with it at all... Yes, sometimes you have to overload the computer (server or home computer does not play any role), we just need to configure it correctly (remote reboot scheme). In case of server in data centre it's easier of course.

Yeah, that's what I did at first... Then I thought that the disadvantages of the hardware implementation outweigh the hypothetical hijacking of your money printing machine by the hoster. Worst of all, this restless set-up requires continuous monitoring: lights out - check, connection gone wild - switch on another channel, mum's brains off - quickly install replacement system (!), and if not - do tambourine dance... etc., etc. So, I've got two VPS, one of which is a swap system - it's never come in handy! And you can monitor the beacons with GPRS from anywhere...

There's a way around that problem, too.

Oops can shut down your computer when you turn it off and turn it back on when you turn it back on and when you turn it back on, the system can automatically start the programs you need

And you'll have to keep an eye on your computer

you can not put a robot on hosting and go only to take money

 

I'm not going to prove anything to anyone. Everyone chooses for themselves.

But there is no need to make unfounded assumptions as a disadvantage.

The light goes out - there is a UPS, what should be checked - dunno. If you have your hands in the right place, there will be no problem.

Is it difficult for you to set automatic switch-off of the reserve channel? - Choose your hosting.
