How to set up a forex VPS
- Find your broker’s trade serverThe server name in your MetaTrader login window and your broker’s documentation tell you where it is hosted. New York and London are the usual answers.
- Pick the region and payChoose the United States (New York or Edison) for brokers in New York, or France (Paris or Marseille) for brokers in Europe. Pay in crypto or by card; the price is the same in both regions.
- Connect over RDPSetup takes 5 to 10 minutes after the payment confirms. Your access page shows the RDP address, the user Administrator and a generated password.
- Install the terminal and disconnectDownload the terminal from your broker, sign in to your trading account, attach your expert advisors and enable algorithmic trading. Then close the Remote Desktop window. Do not sign out: signing out closes the terminal.
Forex VPS plans and prices
Prices are USD per month with the Windows licence included, the same in both regions. Windows itself uses a couple of gigabytes of memory, and each MetaTrader terminal with a few charts and an expert advisor adds a few hundred megabytes, so the smaller plans suit one or two terminals and the larger ones several accounts side by side.

What traders run on it
- MetaTrader 4 and 5Expert advisors, custom indicators and scripts that have to keep running when your own PC is off.
- Several accountsOne terminal per account, each installed in its own folder, running side by side on the same server.
- cTrader and cBotscTrader with automated cBots, on a machine that does not sleep or restart for a home update.
- Copy tradingTrade copiers and signal receivers that need to be online whenever the source account trades.
- Other Windows platformsNinjaTrader and other Windows trading software. Check that your platform’s vendor supports Windows Server before you buy.
Latency: what the location changes
Order latency is the time between your terminal sending an order and your broker’s server receiving it. From a home connection it depends on your provider and your Wi-Fi and is often tens of milliseconds or more. A server in the same metro area as the broker removes most of that distance.
MetaTrader shows the current ping to the trade server in the bottom-right corner of the terminal, so you can measure it yourself once the server is running. We do not publish latency to specific brokers and do not promise a figure: it depends on where your broker’s server is and on the route. If your broker is in London or Frankfurt, France is the closer of our two regions, but we have no London location.
Keeping MetaTrader running
- Disconnect, do not sign out. Closing the Remote Desktop window leaves your session and the terminal running. Signing out of Windows closes them.
- After a restart. Programs in the Startup folder only start when Administrator signs in. Either connect over RDP after a restart, or set up automatic sign-in with Microsoft’s Sysinternals Autologon tool and put the terminal in the Startup folder.
- Windows Update. Updates can restart the server. Set active hours in Windows Update settings, or install updates at the weekend when the FX market is closed.
- Memory. Close charts you do not use and keep the history setting modest. Each open chart costs memory, and a server that runs out of memory slows every terminal on it.
- If RDP stops answering, for example after a firewall change, the browser console on your access page still reaches the server.
Terms, payment and limits
- Minimum term. Windows servers are sold for 30 days or more and extended 30 days or more at a time.
- Payment. Prepay in Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum or Solana, or by card. A card can also run as a monthly subscription.
- Extending. Add time from your access page. We email you before a prepaid server expires, and a server that is not extended is deleted, so extend before a busy week.
- Your software. We provide the server. Your broker, trading platform and expert advisors are yours to choose and configure.
- Refunds. Prepaid hosting is not refundable once the server is provisioned, so choose the plan size with that in mind.
- Acceptable use. Unsolicited bulk email, scanning or attacking other systems, fraud and cryptocurrency mining are prohibited on every plan. See the Acceptable Use Policy.
Questions about Forex VPS hosting
What is a forex VPS?
A Windows server in a data center that runs your trading terminal around the clock. Expert advisors and trade copiers keep working when your own computer is off, and the server can sit closer to your broker than your home connection.
Does MetaTrader 4 or 5 run on it?
Yes. Both run on Windows Server 2022. Download the terminal from your broker, sign in and attach your expert advisors as you would on a PC.
Which location should I choose?
The one closer to your broker’s trade server. Choose the United States (New York or Edison) for brokers hosted in New York, and France (Paris or Marseille) for brokers in Europe. We have no London location.
How many MetaTrader terminals can I run?
As many as the plan’s memory allows. Install each account’s terminal in its own folder. Windows uses a couple of gigabytes, and each terminal adds a few hundred megabytes depending on charts and history.
Will my expert advisor keep running when I close Remote Desktop?
Yes, as long as you close the window or disconnect. Signing out of Windows closes your programs, including the terminal.
Can I pay for a forex VPS with Bitcoin or Monero?
Yes. The crypto checkout accepts Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum and Solana, and card payments are available too. The price is the same whichever you choose.
Can I rent it for less than a month?
No. Windows servers are sold in terms of 30 days or more.
Do I need an account or ID to order?
No. There is no signup and no KYC. You enter an email address that can receive your access link, pay the invoice, and manage the server from that link.
