VPS for Forex Trading
Forex VPS Hosting — Run MT4/MT5 Around the Clock

Low-Latency Infrastructure for Forex
Our servers sit inside carrier-grade datacenters in Paris and Quebec, directly peered with major cloud providers and ISPs. That proximity means fewer network hops between your VPS and the exchanges your broker connects to. We state infrastructure facts, not execution guarantees: your latency depends on your broker's location, but our network gives you the shortest path we can offer.

About
What Is a Forex VPS and Why Do You Need One?
A Forex VPS is a virtual server that hosts your trading platform (MT4, MT5, or cTrader) so it runs continuously in the cloud. Your expert advisors and automated strategies execute trades even when your home connection drops or your PC is off. The server stays online 24/7 with 99.9% uptime.
Measured latency, not marketing latency
Latency numbers on hosting sites are usually theoretical. These are not: in July 2026 we measured round-trip times from production PetroSky VPSes in each datacenter to public ping endpoints in every listed city, taking 20-ping averages. Your numbers to a specific broker depend on where that broker hosts — but most retail brokers run their trade infrastructure on AWS or behind Cloudflare, and PetroSky servers are colocated in the same Equinix facilities as AWS, Cloudflare, and major ISPs. That gives your MT4 or MT5 terminal same-facility connectivity to the networks your broker most likely sits on, which is why the Cloudflare figures below are sub-millisecond to low single-digit milliseconds. Test it yourself: every plan includes full root or administrator access, so you can ping your own broker before committing — refunds are available for 7 days.
| Destination | From Equinix Paris | From Equinix Quebec City |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare anycast | 0.4 ms | 1.1 ms |
| Paris metro | 0.6 ms | — |
| Montreal | — | 1.6 ms |
| Toronto | ~81 ms | 7.3 ms |
| London | 7.7 ms | — |
| Frankfurt | 8.2 ms | — |
| Amsterdam | 12.3 ms | — |
| Madrid | 15.6 ms | — |
| New York metro | ~86 ms | ~15 ms |
Methodology: 20-ping round-trip averages from production PetroSky VPSes to public endpoints in each city, measured July 2026. Numbers are re-measured periodically; a dash means that route was not measured.

Installing
Windows or Linux for Forex Trading VPS?
The OS you choose affects your trading experience. Both options work — the right choice depends on your technical skills and priorities.
Windows VPS
Windows VPSThe go-to choice for most traders. Native compatibility with MT4, MT5, and cTrader means zero setup friction. Best for beginners and those who want a plug-and-play experience. Keep in mind: Windows is more resource-intensive and requires regular updates and security maintenance.
Linux VPS
Lighter, faster, and more cost-efficient. Ideal for experienced traders who prioritise performance and security. The trade-off: platforms like MetaTrader require additional setup via Wine.
