Well, a dedicated server is one option but like you said most people would not be able to afford that type of setup. Even the most basic server setup would cost more than $45 a month easily - the average price I've seen being above $100/month.
I've had roughly 40 people sign up for the mailing list, so unfortunately I'm still quite a bit short of my goal of 100 minimum, but hmm I shall persist and hopefully enough interested people would join on board so I can launch this venture.
My proposed setup would not have anything to dowith CNS or Forex Hoster. It is similar to forex hoster in the sense that it's a Unix ( in my case Linux) based solution, but unlike Forex Hoster my server configuration will be more complex and more advanced. The plan is to have the servers located across 3 geographical locations - US, UK, and Hong Kong - to ensure low latency communications with the MT4 server of the major forex brokerage firms. The client will be put on the server that is closest to his chosen broker's server. The servers will be co-located with Rackspace which is a very high quality data center operator.
I also intend to have an affiliate program in place so if you wish to partner up with this venture let me know.
Thanks for your comment, and for visiting my blog. I also invite you to check out the Forex Nirvana forum where I typically hang out and chat forex.

However for traders with less than $1000 or so yeah a VPS would be suitable.
Have you had much interest in it so far?
My only suggestion is to stay away from CNS and Forex Hoster. I have heard and experienced so many problems from them.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Personally I prefer a dedicated server, not a VPS.</p><p>However for traders with less than $1000 or so yeah a VPS would be suitable.</p><p>Have you had much interest in it so far?</p><p>My only suggestion is to stay away from CNS and Forex Hoster.

That just increases the cost of credit. The next time you have a real estate bubble, you'll have the same problem, assuming that banks are still in the business of loaning against real estate. If you want to stop this problem, then eliminate the federal subsidies for real estate development and investment, then require people in that industry to put their own money at risk instead of someone elses. If Greenspan really wants to change the banking system, though, then simply ban 95% and 90% LTV loans. Require a bigger equity cushion.  BTW, the "too big to fail" argument is a fallacious one. During the Great Depression, Canada had no bank failures. The reason was that their banks were very large. The banks closed branches, etc., but none of them failed. By contrast, the US was dominated by thousands of very small banks, and we had more than 10,000 of them fail. So there is nothing inherently unsafe about a banking system dominated by large banks. The real problem with large banks is that during good times, they don't provide enough competition for each other.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think Greenspan is getting senile, today he said that you can stop asset bubbles by increasing capital requirements.
