Post From: What is the best, current, VPS for use with Sierra Chart for non-automated trading?

I trade manually. Latency isn't really an issue (non-algorithmic trading). I travel a lot. I set alerts at certain prices that I want to trade at, but don't like resting limit orders. I want an alert sent to my phone when price crosses a certain level. I currently use Sierra Chart and Telegram for that, but it requires Sierra Chart to be on, since the alerts are client-side. I have a laptop with me but for obvious reasons can't have it on all the time to run Sierra Chart.

I'm looking into a VPS to run Sierra Chart continuously, remote login once or twice daily to set alerts for each product (time and price), and then when I get an alert message sent to my phone via Telegram, remote-login again on my laptop to the VPS via iPhone hotspot to manage the trade.

Does anyone have good recommendations on what VPS host to use? There are so many, and while I've done my research, would rather hear it from someone who has been there and done it, and used it reliably for years. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just something I can run Sierra Chart 24/7 on for alerts, and not have it slow to a crawl when I remote login and place alerts and/or trades.

I'm asking both Sierra Chart Engineering and other users.

Money/cost per month is no problem, and I will pay what needs to be paid, but I likely don't need some 10Gb port with 24 CPU cores, if you feel me.

Thank you.
