    If you're running an EA or any kind of automated strategy, you need a VPS. Your home PC going to sleep or losing connection at the wrong moment will cost you — it's not a matter of if, it's when. We've been using MyForexVPS and it does the job well. They've been around since 2012, support MT4/MT5/cTrader out of the box, and the latency to major broker servers is solid. No complaints on uptime either. Why it works for traders: Windows-based, so setup is straightforward — just RDP in and install your platform Low latency to major liquidity hubs 24/7 uptime, your EA keeps running whether you're asleep or not Decent pricing for what you get You can sign up through our link below. It costs you nothing extra, and it helps keep the forum running: MyForexVPS link f you end up trying something else that works better for you, come back and share it in this section — that's what this forum is for. — ForexRoasted Team

    This section is for discussing VPS providers, server setups, hosting configurations, and anything related to running EAs and bots around the clock. Keep it on topic and useful. Basic conduct Be straight with people. If a provider burned you, say so, but stick to facts, not rants. Don't talk down to people asking basic questions. Everyone starts somewhere. No personal attacks. Argue the point, not the person. Promotion & advertising Don't shill your VPS service, referral link, or affiliate deal without admin approval. This includes "casually" recommending the same provider across multiple threads. Referral links posted without permission get removed on sight. DMing members with hosting offers will get you banned. Posting standards When asking for help with a setup issue, include the relevant details: OS, provider, MT4/MT5 version, what you've already tried. "It doesn't work" on its own helps no one. When recommending a provider, mention your actual experience — how long you've used them, latency, uptime, support quality. Vague endorsements aren't useful. Don't post outdated pricing or specs without flagging when you last checked. Things change. Other things that'll get your post removed Sharing login credentials, cracked software, or anything that puts other members at risk. Promoting brokers or unrelated services under the guise of a hosting discussion. Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated. Not sure if something's allowed -> message a mod first. — ForexRoasted Team

    cynical but directionally correct, the offer is a retention and volume tool, not charity. the clean way to use it: if your normal trading already clears the threshold, take the free vps and enjoy it. if it doesnt, pay for an independent vps and keep your trading decisions free of any volume incentive. never let infrastructure perks steer your trade frequency.

    in mt5 hover the connection status or check the server name in your account details, then ask the brokers support directly which datacenter hosts that trade server. most are in london or new york equinix facilities. pick a vps in the same metro and your latency drops to single-digit milliseconds, which is all that matters for execution.

    relieved to read this, was about to drop money on a vps purely out of fomo for a strategy that trades twice a week keeping the cash for now.
