A step by step guide for our VPS monitor and auto startup program.
NYCServers has developed a custom program which allows clients to configure their software and trading platforms to automatically start each time their service is rebooted. This is useful for Windows updates, scheduled reboots, and more.Additionally, our custom program also offers the ability for email alerts to be sent to you.
