VPS for forex and trading

A trading VPS has one job: keep the Expert Advisor running when your laptop is off, and keep the round trip to the broker short. Windows Server 2022 on the Base plan in London — licence included, €16.50 per month — is the setup we recommend, because the alternative is your strategy sleeping through the news.

What this workload needs

Four properties that matter for this job, and how the recommended plan covers each one.

01

Windows Server 2022, licence in the price

The recommended build runs Windows Server 2022 Standard with the licence folded into the monthly figure — €11 of the €16.50 is Microsoft's, and you will not get a letter about it later. MT4, MT5 and broker terminals install like the desktop they think they are on.

02

London, because the bridge lives there

The recommended site is London for good reason: the brokers' own matching engines cluster in the same metro, and 2 ms to the UK plus 66 ms to New York keeps every FIX hop short. Pick the site by your broker's server location — that ping is the one that pays.

03

Uptime is a plan feature, not a hope

Tier IV power, A+B feeds and a 99.95% monthly SLA with automatic credits — for a strategy that trades at 03:00, the difference between 'usually up' and 'up' is the difference between a P&L and a post-mortem.

04

Full RDP, so your charts are a window away

Remote Desktop to a real desktop session with your terminals, your indicators and your running strategy. When you need to intervene, the round trip is a double-click, and the VNC console is there even when the network stack misbehaves.

DATA SHEET · CONDENSED

The short version

Recommended
Base + Windows Server 2022 in London — €16.50/mo including the licence, 4 vCPU, 8 GB, 100 GB NVMe, 8 TB traffic.
Site choice
Measure your broker's server ping first. London for UK/EU brokers, New York for US, Singapore or Tokyo for Asia — same price, your ping decides.
Latency budget
The 2.5 Gbit/s port and low-steal hosts keep jitter low; dedicated cores (+55%) exist for strategies that count microseconds, not just milliseconds.
Sessions
The server is always on, so the terminal runs around the clock — the whole point. Reboots are yours to schedule, and the SLA credits if the host fails you.
Security
RDP is exposed only with the firewall rules you set; the console's VNC is the back door that works when nothing else does.

Q&A · REV. C

Questions people ask

Four answers per solution, and each one is the same answer support would give you.

Why Windows instead of a Linux trading setup?
Because your broker's platform and most Expert Advisors are Windows binaries, and compatibility beats ideology when capital is at risk. Windows Server 2022 runs the MT/CTrader stack natively, and the licence is already in the price.
Which site has the lowest latency to my broker?
Whichever site is nearest your broker's matching engine — that is the honest answer, which is why the site choice is yours and the price is flat. Most EU-facing brokers sit in London or its metro, which is why London is the default recommendation on this page.
Can I run my VPS on the 12-month term and save?
Yes — the €16.50 figure is the 12-month rate, billed once (€198 for the year, licence included). The six-month term runs about 26% higher per month. Nothing renews automatically, and a renewal is never priced above the current rate.
Is Windows licensing really that simple here?
For this product, yes: the licence is included with the image and tied to the subscription model Microsoft licenses for cloud-like usage. You do not need your own volume licence or CAL arithmetic — the line item on the invoice is the whole story.
