Key Features
Trading that runs around the clock
Your EAs and trading bots keep working while your own computer is off. The network uptime target is 99.9% a month under our Terms of Service.
Install your broker's MT4/MT5
Download the MetaTrader terminal from your broker and install it on Windows Server just as you would on a PC. You are Administrator, so you add EAs, indicators and scripts yourself.
Resources by plan
The vCPU, RAM and NVMe storage of the plan you choose, on Intel Xeon Gold 5220R hosts with DDR4 memory. Watch live CPU and memory use in the portal.
Free DDoS protection
Every VPS is protected against DDoS at L3/L4 and L7 at no extra cost. The Administrator password and the Windows firewall are yours to set.
Several accounts and brokers
Run several terminals side by side, each installed in its own folder per account or broker. How many you can run depends on the plan's vCPU and RAM.
Why run your EAs on a VPS
No computer left on at home
An EA only works while its terminal is open. On a VPS the terminal stays open even when your home loses power or internet, or your computer restarts for updates.
Pick a region near your broker
Choose the region when you order. The distance to your broker's trade server affects latency; once the terminal is installed, check the ping to the broker's server from inside it.
Run Multiple EAs
Run EAs across several currency pairs and timeframes, in one terminal or several. If CPU or RAM fills up, upgrade from the portal and pay only the difference.
Auto-renewal from your balance
Turn on auto-renewal and the rent is deducted from your account balance on the due date, so you do not have to remember it. If the balance is short, renewal fails, so top up ahead of time.
A full Windows desktop
Windows Server over Remote Desktop: watch charts, manage orders and tune EAs from any device with a Remote Desktop app.
A backup console in your browser
If RDP will not connect, for example because the Windows firewall blocks it or the machine is stuck on an update screen, open the console from the portal to see the real screen and fix it yourself.
Windows Server on a full virtual machine
A Forex VPS is a full virtual machine on XCP-ng, an open-source virtualization platform that uses Xen, a bare-metal hypervisor. Windows Server boots its own kernel and behaves like a Windows computer of its own.
-
Full Administrator access
Install terminals, EAs, indicators and a VPN, and manage Windows Update and the firewall yourself, without the limits of web hosting.
-
A console that works when RDP does not
The browser console shows the virtual machine's screen straight from the hypervisor layer, not through Windows networking, so you can get in and fix things even when RDP is blocked.
-
Snapshots before you change EAs
Save the disk before a Windows update or an EA change, and roll back if the result is not what you wanted. A rollback returns files and settings to the moment of the snapshot. There is a free slot, and snapshots beyond it are charged once when created.
-
Restart it yourself from the portal
If Windows hangs, restart or power off the machine from the portal without waiting for staff. After a restart, connect over RDP to check that your terminals and EAs are running again.
-
What is XCP-ng?
Open-source software (GPLv2) that packages the Xen hypervisor ready to use. It began in 2018 as the continuation of Citrix XenServer, is led by Vates, and joined the Xen Project under the Linux Foundation in 2020.
The hardware running your terminals
Forex VPS hosts are the same as for every VPS: Intel Xeon Gold 5220R processors, DDR4 memory and U.2 NVMe SSDs.
-
Intel Xeon Gold 5220R processors
2nd Gen Xeon Scalable (Cascade Lake) with 24 cores and 48 threads each, a 2.20 GHz base clock, up to 4.00 GHz turbo and 35.75 MB of cache. Your plan's vCPUs run on these threads but are not physical cores reserved for you.
-
DDR4 memory
The processor supports six channels of DDR4-2667 memory. Every open terminal, chart and EA uses your VPS's RAM, so more terminals need more RAM.
-
U.2 NVMe SSDs
2.5-inch server SSDs that connect over PCIe with NVMe. Windows, your terminals, price history and EA logs are stored on them.
Trading platforms you can install
- MetaTrader 4
- The platform most Forex traders know. EAs and indicators are written in MQL4, and your broker's terminal installs on Windows Server as usual.
- MetaTrader 5
- The multi-asset successor with EAs in MQL5. Its Strategy Tester can backtest on several cores at once, so it benefits from more vCPUs.
- cTrader
- Spotware's platform, which runs automated trading bots (cBots). It installs on Windows Server the same way as on a PC.
- Custom Platforms
- Other Windows trading software, such as NinjaTrader, installs too, as long as the plan has enough resources.
Works with brokers that offer MT4/MT5
- IC Markets
- Pepperstone
- Exness
- XM
- FXCM
- FBS
- RoboForex
- Tickmill
- FP Markets
- Axi
- Vantage
- OctaFX
Examples of brokers with MetaTrader terminals for Windows. Download the terminal from your broker's website and log in with your own trading account.
Who Uses VPS Forex?
EA / Robot Traders
Run Expert Advisors without depending on a computer at home, and size the machine to the number of EAs and terminals you keep open.
Scalpers & Day Traders
Keep the terminal on a machine that is always online and pick the region closer to your broker's server. Real latency depends on the distance and network route to the broker.
Copy trading signal providers
A signal terminal has to stay online for followers to receive every trade. A VPS removes the dependence on power and internet at home.
Multi-Account Managers (MAM/PAMM)
Open several terminals for several accounts or brokers on one machine, and upgrade the plan as the number of accounts grows.
Choosing a plan for MT4/MT5
Use this as a starting point: real use depends on how many terminals, charts and EAs you keep open. Watch the live CPU and RAM graphs in the portal and adjust.
-
Start from the Windows Server minimum
The order page shows the minimum spec of each Windows Server version and will not let you pick a plan below it. Choose a plan with RAM to spare beyond Windows itself for your terminals.
-
One terminal, a few EAs
Start with a small plan that meets the Windows Server minimum, and watch real use for a while before deciding to upgrade.
-
Several terminals or accounts
Add RAM for each terminal you run at the same time, and add vCPUs when EAs calculate heavily or you keep many charts open.
-
Backtesting with Strategy Tester
MT5's Strategy Tester can use several vCPUs at once and stores price history on disk, so choose more vCPUs and NVMe space, or keep testing on a separate machine from live trading.
-
Try it first on daily billing
Rent by the day to test your EA on a VPS first. When you are happy, renew for a longer period from the VPS details page.

Network and broker connection
A terminal on the VPS connects to your broker's trade server over the internet, just as on a PC. The difference is that the machine stays online in a data centre all the time.
-
Thailand or Singapore
Choose the region when you order. Latency to your broker depends on where the broker's trade server is. The Windows Server versions on offer can differ by region; the order page shows the actual list once you choose one.
-
One IPv4 address and unlimited bandwidth within Thailand
Every machine gets one public IPv4 address for RDP and unlimited bandwidth within Thailand. Extra IP addresses cost ฿150 each per month.
-
Free DDoS protection
Attack traffic is filtered before it reaches your machine, at L3/L4 and L7, with nothing to set up, and traffic from abroad is filtered before it reaches Thailand.
-
Protect RDP access
The order page requires a password of at least 12 characters with upper and lower case letters, a number and a symbol. Do not reuse your trading account password, and limit which IPs can reach RDP with the Windows firewall.
Manage the machine in the portal
You can do all of these basics yourself in the VPS details page, without opening a ticket and waiting.
-
Live usage
Watch CPU, memory, disk and network traffic while the machine runs, so you know how much your open terminals use before adding another EA.
-
A 7-day activity log
See when the machine was powered on or off, restarted, reinstalled or upgraded in the last 7 days. It helps you find out why an EA stopped for a while.
-
Expiry date and renewal
Check the expiry date, renew for any period the plan sells, and switch auto-renewal on or off from the same page. Before you confirm, it shows the date the machine will run until.
-
Reinstall the system
Wipe the disk and install Windows Server again when you want a clean start. Everything on the machine is erased, so back up your EA and settings files first.
-
API keys
Create keys to control the VPS from your own scripts, limit which IPs may use them, and revoke them at any time.
How to start trading on a VPS
-
Top up your account
Top up with PromptPay, TrueMoney, card or crypto. This balance pays for the rent and for auto-renewal.
-
Choose region, Windows Server and plan
Pick a region that offers the Windows Server version you need, then a plan and a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly billing period.
-
Name the machine and set a password
Set the machine name and password and confirm the order. The price is deducted from your balance and the portal shows the installation progress.
-
Connect over RDP and install MetaTrader
Use the IP address and username shown in the portal with the password you set. Install your broker's MT4/MT5, log in to your trading account and attach your EA to a chart.
-
Turn on auto-renewal
Switch it on in the VPS details page. The rent is deducted from your balance on the due date, so the machine does not expire while your EA is trading, as long as the balance covers it.
When you need more than a Forex VPS
If your work outgrows one virtual machine, or you want the machine for other jobs too, one of these may suit you better.
-
VPS for websites and apps
The same plans, prices and hardware, with guidance on Linux, Docker and choosing a plan for web apps and databases.
-
Dedicated servers for many accounts
Fund managers running many terminals may need a whole machine. Rent an entire physical server, choose hardware from the price list and order through sales; a managed option is available with scope and price agreed with sales.

Forex VPS FAQ
What is a Forex VPS and why do I need one?
A Forex VPS is a VPS running Windows Server that keeps your trading platform and Expert Advisors open 24/7 on a machine in a data centre. Your EAs do not stop because your home computer is off, the power fails or the internet drops.
How is VPS Forex different from a regular VPS?
The plans, prices and hardware are the same, and you order from the same VPS rental page. Traders choose Windows Server and use the machine for MetaTrader and EAs. For websites or apps, see the VPS page.
Which trading platforms are supported?
Trading software that runs on Windows installs, such as MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and NinjaTrader. You install your broker's terminal yourself with Administrator access.
How many Expert Advisors (EAs) can I run?
We do not set a limit on EAs. How many you can run depends on the plan's vCPU and RAM and on how heavy each EA is. Start with a plan above the Windows Server minimum, watch the live usage graphs in the portal, and upgrade when you get close to the limit.
What is the latency to major Forex brokers?
It depends on where your broker's trade server is and whether you chose Thailand or Singapore, so there is no single figure for every broker. Once the terminal is installed, check the ping to your broker's server from inside it.
Is Windows Server available in every region?
The operating systems and versions on offer can differ by region. After you choose a region, the order page shows the Windows Server versions actually available, with each one's minimum spec.
Can I access my VPS from my phone or tablet?
Yes. Connect with a Remote Desktop app on Windows, Mac, iOS or Android, and if RDP does not work, open the browser console from the portal instead.
What uptime can I expect, and what about maintenance?
The network uptime target is 99.9% a month under our Terms of Service, which exclude maintenance announced in advance. You can follow service health on the status page. After a restart, connect over RDP to check that your terminals and EAs are running again.
Is my trading data and strategy safe?
Each VPS is a separate virtual machine with its own kernel, memory and disk, and comes with free DDoS protection. Inside the machine you look after the Administrator password, Windows updates and the firewall. Keep copies of your EA files elsewhere too, because deleting a VPS deletes its snapshots.
Can I upgrade my plan without losing data?
Yes. Upgrade to a larger plan from the portal; the same machine, data and settings stay in place, and you pay only the difference for the days left in the billing period. Upgrade while the market is closed or no orders are open, in case the machine needs to restart.
