Real noob with Linux but it's a nice cheap alternive, thank youdrunka » Wed May 18, 2016 8:50 am wrote:If you don't mind using linux on the console:
If you want a cheap solution you could get a Linux vps at http://www.ovh.de
I got the smallest package with 1 vCore 2,4 GHz, 2 GB RAM and 10 GB SSD for 3.49EUR a month.
I choosed archlinux, just installed sudo, x, wine, winetricks, Empty4, vncviewer and wingdings font, no need for a desktop environment for such a specific purpose. Connect vncviewer via ssh (local) as user. Runs pretty fast, didn't experience any lags. You basically use all ressources for Empty4/wine. The OS's sole purpose is to serve Empty4/wine. No need for a bloated 30GB windows hungry for ram and cpu power. In my eyes also a relatively safe option since such a compact Linux install is harder to attack. Also vncviewer via ssh (tunneling) means you'll get an encrypted connection.

Make sure you look at this post: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 19#p140819 I only have experience of Beeksfz but I would be underwhelmed to find that the tips are common to all vps providers.

Read the effing manual, ok?
