Your terminal, always on.
Run MT4, MT5 and trading bots on a Windows VPS that keeps working when your PC sleeps, your laptop travels or your home internet drops. Deploy in the financial hub closest to your broker, from $14.25 per month, payable in crypto or PayPal.
Three problems a trading VPS actually solves
Why a VPS for trading: the terminal has to be running for the strategy to exist.
Always-on execution
Expert advisors and bots only work while the terminal runs. On a VPS the terminal runs around the clock, independent of your PC, your power and your home connection. Providers do occasional maintenance, but your session no longer depends on your desk.
Close to broker infrastructure
Brokers host their servers in the major financial metros. Deploying your VPS in the same city keeps round trips short. Ask your broker where their trade servers live, then pick that location from ours.
A connection built for servers
Datacenter networking is engineered for constant uptime in a way home internet is not. No router reboots, no ISP evening congestion, no laptop going to sleep mid-trade.
Pick your Windows line, or go Linux for bots
Platforms: two Windows lines for MetaTrader and friends, Linux for headless algos.
Lightsail Windows budget
Fixed bundles, the cheapest MT4 box we sell
Vultr Windows VPS most cities
More compute and the widest choice of metros
Linux lines
Linux lines (python bots, ccxt, headless algos)
Our retail pricing in USD at the lowest-priced region and smallest configuration; some metros price higher and the order form shows the exact figure. Windows Server takes about 15 minutes to install on Vultr and a few minutes on Lightsail; Linux is online in about a minute.
What you trade with decides the server you need
By platform: you install the platform from your broker or vendor; we provide the server underneath.
MetaTrader 4 (MT4)
MT4 is a lightweight 32-bit Windows application, so it is the easiest platform to host: an entry Windows VPS runs a terminal with a handful of EAs comfortably, and traders often run more than one broker terminal side by side. Connect over RDP, install MT4 from your broker, log in and leave it running.
Windows VPS from $14.25/mo →MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
MT5 is a 64-bit application and its strategy tester can use multiple cores, so backtesting and EA optimization benefit from extra vCPUs and RAM in a way MT4 never did. For live trading alone an entry plan works; if you optimize EAs on the VPS, size up. Both our Windows lines let you pick a larger configuration at checkout.
Vultr Windows in 31 cities →NinjaTrader
NinjaTrader is a full .NET desktop platform and noticeably heavier than MetaTrader, especially with live futures data, multiple charts and automated strategies. Give it headroom rather than the minimum: pick a mid-size Windows configuration and add resources if your workspace grows. You install NinjaTrader and your data feed exactly as on a home PC.
Deploy a Windows VPS near Chicago →cTrader
cTrader Desktop is a Windows application, and hosting it on a VPS is how cBot users keep C# algos running around the clock without leaving a PC on. Install it from your cTrader broker over RDP. Its footprint sits between MT4 and NinjaTrader; an entry-to-mid Windows plan covers most setups.
Windows VPS from $14.25/mo →TradingView strategies
TradingView charts and alerts already run in TradingView’s own cloud; you do not host them on a VPS. What a VPS adds is the always-on piece TradingView does not provide: a small server that receives your alert webhooks and turns them into orders at your broker or exchange. Those bridge bots are usually Python or Node and run on our cheapest Linux plans.
Linux VPS from $4.50/mo →Custom bots and algos
Headless strategies built on python, ccxt, exchange APIs or frameworks like Freqtrade do not need Windows at all. A small Linux VPS over SSH is the cheapest way to keep them running 24/7, and you can deploy it in the same metro your exchange documents as home. Pay in crypto if that fits how you already operate.
Linux VPS from $4.50/mo →All platforms are installed by you from your broker or vendor, under your own license and login. We provide the server underneath and stay out of your trading stack.
Deploy where the markets are
Financial hubs on our Windows lines, where major exchange and broker infrastructure concentrates.
Plus 19 more cities on the Vultr Windows line. Crypto traders: exchanges are globally distributed, so pick the region your exchange documents as home, and pay for the server in crypto if you like. How crypto payment works →
Trading VPS questions
Straight answers. Anything else, ask before you order.
01/Can I run MT4 or MT5 on these servers?
Yes. You connect over RDP and install MT4 or MT5 from your broker, exactly as you would on a home PC. Your broker provides the platform and login; we provide the always-on Windows Server underneath it.
02/Do I need Windows, or can I trade from Linux?
MT4 and MT5 are Windows applications, so for MetaTrader choose a Windows line. Custom bots built on python, ccxt or exchange APIs run happily on our cheaper Linux lines over SSH.
03/Can I run NinjaTrader, cTrader or TradingView bots?
NinjaTrader and cTrader are Windows applications and run on our Windows lines the same way MetaTrader does: you install them from your vendor or broker over RDP. TradingView itself stays in TradingView’s cloud; a VPS is used to run the webhook bridge that turns your alerts into orders, which fits a small Linux plan.
04/Do you guarantee a specific latency to my broker?
No, and be wary of anyone who does without knowing your broker. What we offer is servers in the same metros as major broker and exchange infrastructure, which keeps network round trips short. Ask your broker which city their trade servers are in and match it.
05/Which location should I pick?
The one closest to your broker or exchange, not the one closest to you. You connect to the VPS over RDP from anywhere; the distance that matters for execution is between the VPS and the broker.
06/Can I pay for a trading VPS with crypto?
Yes. Top up your balance with Bitcoin, Lightning, Monero or 15 other coins, or use PayPal. Registration takes an email address and a country; no card is required.
We provide servers, not trading advice. Markets carry risk; nothing on this page is a recommendation to trade.
