Do you know another Forex broker or a commercial Forex VPS hosting provider? Please suggest by adding a comment below. |
VPS hosting (Virtual Private Server hosting) is used to keep user’s trading platform remotely on a dedicated remote server, and execute trades from that server. The demand for VPS hosting appeared when traders got the ability to do automated trading using Expert Advisers (trading robots).
When using an Expert Adviser on MT4 or any other trading platform, it is critical that a trading platform remains active 24/7. At this stage any interruptions in Internet connections, shut downs or simply additional delays in milliseconds as the trading order is passed from your PC to broker’s terminal counts.
With remotely operated trading platform an Expert Adviser(EA) you no longer rely on your home PC.
How critical it is for your trading system, every individual trader can decide for himself.
A trader has a choice to select any hosting provider and buy a hosting package for his trading needs.
However, some basic knowledge about hosting, server configuration etc might be needed to select the best deal money-wise and execution-wise as well.
As demand for remotely hosted trading increases, Forex brokers start to offer their VPS services as well.
As a rule, when you have an account with a broker, your VPS hosting comes at no cost.
