Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do Traders Use a VPS?
Traders use a VPS to achieve faster, more reliable trading performance. A VPS allows trading platforms like MT4, MT5, and cTrader to run 24/7 without relying on a home internet connection. This helps reduce latency, prevent downtime, and ensure that automated strategies and expert advisors (EAs) can execute trades instantly and securely. With NYCServers, your trading systems stay connected to top financial centers like NY4, LD4, and TY3 for maximum speed and reliability.
What Are The Advantages Of Using A Forex VPS?
While there are many benefits to using a forex VPS, here are the top 5 benefits:
- Continuous Trading Operation – Your trades and automated systems run 24/7 without interruption, even when your personal computer is off
- Faster Trade Execution – By hosting your trading platform closer to your broker’s servers, you get reduced latency and better execution speeds
- Protection from Local Issues – Your trading continues even if you experience:
- Power outages
- Internet disconnections
- Computer crashes
- Local hardware problems
- Ideal for Automated Trading – Perfect for running Expert Advisors (EAs) and algorithmic strategies because:
- Trading bots run nonstop
- No missed trading opportunities
- Consistent execution of your strategy
- Cost-Effective – Cheaper than:
- Running a dedicated computer 24/7
- Maintaining your own server

What's The Difference Between a Forex VPS and Regular VPS?
There are many differences between forex VPS hosting and regular VPS hosting. The primary differences are:
- Location Optimization
- Forex VPS: Strategically located near major forex broker servers to minimize latency
- Regular VPS: General-purpose locations without consideration for trading server proximity
- Hardware Configuration
- Forex VPS: Optimized for trading platforms (like MT4/MT5) with emphasis on RAM and CPU power
- Regular VPS: Generic configurations for web hosting, applications, or basic server tasks
- Latency Priority
- Forex VPS: Ultra-low latency connections (often <1ms to broker servers) for fast trade execution
- Regular VPS: Standard network speeds sufficient for regular web hosting
- Technical Support
- Forex VPS: Staff familiar with trading platforms and common trading setup issues
- Regular VPS: General technical support without specialized trading knowledge
In short; forex VPS hosting provides specific features and service qualitied which are customized for forex traders. Regular VPS hosting is made for general purpose uses and does not have the service qualities which are required for running trading software.
Does A Trading VPS Reduce Order Slippage?
Yes, a VPS reduces slippage by minimizing the time between when your trade order is sent and when it’s executed.
Here’s how:
- Physical Proximity – The VPS is located physically closer to your broker’s servers, reducing the distance your order needs to travel
- Low Latency Connection – Orders reach the broker’s server in milliseconds rather than the longer times from a home computer
- Direct Network Routes – VPS providers use optimized network paths to major forex brokers, avoiding internet congestion
- Stable Connection – Unlike home internet, VPS connections are business-grade with minimal fluctuations in speed
For example, if you’re trading from Asia but your broker is in London, using a London-based VPS can reduce your order execution time from several hundred milliseconds to under 1ms, significantly reducing the chance of price changes between order submission and execution.
How Long Is The Setup Process?
The setup process is instant! Once you have completed the order & payment you will instantly receive an email containing your forex VPS login credentials. After a few moments you will be able to access the service. If you selected to have any MetaTrader or trading applications pre-installed on the VPS you can find it on the desktop.
Can Multiple Brokers & Trading Platforms Be Used On The Same VPS?
Yes, multiple brokers and trading platforms can be used on the same VPS.
- Platform Support
Traders can use multiple trading platforms simultaneously on the same trading VPS service. For example some of the supported platforms include:
- MetaTrader 4 (MT4)
- MetaTrader 5 (MT5)

Clients can also use multiple brokers on the same VPS service. There are no limitations or restrictions when it comes to which brokers you can use.

How Many MT4 / MT5 Can I Run On My VPS?
Our forex VPS service allows traders to run multiple MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms on a single VPS service. The number of trading platforms that a trader can run on their VPS will depend on several factors, such as;
- How many indicators are on each chart?
- How many EAs are running on each platform
- How many charts are running on each MT4/MT5
- How many resources does your EA, indicators, or other trading scripts use?
- How many trades are open at one time on your MetaTrader 4 / MetaTrader 5 platform?
It is important to take these factors into consideration so that your VPS does not become overloaded.
On average we have found that each plan can support the following number of trading platforms:
| Forex VPS Plan | Number of MT4/MT5 | Link To Order |
|---|---|---|
| Basic VPS | 1-2 MetaTrader Platforms | Click To Order Basic VPS |
| Standard VPS | 3-5 MetaTrader Platforms | Click To Order Standard VPS |
| Professional VPS | 6-8 MetaTrader Platforms | Click To Order Pro VPS |
| Dedicated Server | 10+ MetaTrader Platforms | Click To Order Dedicated Server |
To be able to run the maximum number of platforms possible, we highly recommend keeping your setup as lean as possible. This means only running the exact charts and software you need and nothing extra.
