So I read the last 30 pages and I learned some basics on Gunbot.
For the VPS, I would go for a Contabo - are there any recommendations regarding the Operating System or which administration panel (Webmin, LAMP, Plesk etc.) should be used? Or is there a tutorial on this?
I read that Poloniex has some issues. Which exchange is recommended?
On Contabo i use Winserver 2012(not free), but u can use Linux(its free)m no need special administration panel, just connect to your server via RPC.
More pepoples select Bittrex, but im on both and on polo better and easy check profits.
I agree with dobcrypto - people like to hate on Windows, but either works just fine. Get a service that's cheap... and if shopping for a VPS gets too painful, come talk to me on telegram @culturecrypto
