Best Forex VPS Host
If running your computer or laptop 24/7 is not a viable option for you to run your forex expert advisors to their full potential, then a forex VPS is what you want.
A VPS is a virtual private server that you can remotely connect to from your computer/laptop at home. When you connect, it will be a fresh new empty windows desktop. You can use it just like you would use any other windows based computer. Go on internet explorer, download your favourite browser, download metatrader 4, and install them the exact same way you do on your computer. There is no console commands, or crazy procedures to follow to run a windows based VPS for forex trading.

Picking The Right VPS Host:
I originally started with VPS Land because of their lower prices and double up ram feature. Wow!! is their marketing ever deceiving. I figured with a 2048MB RAM VPS server I could easily run 30+ Metatrader platforms with each instance usually only consuming 5,000 to 12,000 K of memory. What a rude awakening that was! Not only was the remote desktop connection laggy with nothing running, I was only able to run at most 5 Metatrader 4 platforms that BARELY ran. They are either lying about their specs, or extremely OVER CROWDED. Regardless, I didn’t even last a month with VPS Land before cancelling my subscription.
I moved on to InterServer where for just $10 to start with 1 cpu core and 1gb of ram, I was easily able to run 2 MT4 instances with no lag or slow downs what so ever. Their cheapest windows vps cloud server is $10, and each additional slice for an extra GB of ram is +$10. If you move up to 5 slices, you get an additional CPU core. You shouldn’t need this unless you plan to run 12+ MT4 instances. General rule of thumb is each slice will run 2-3 MT4s no problem.
So don’t get sucked into the marketing and mis-conceptions, go with what works from experience. Go with InterServer
Now once you have a forex VPS setup, and can remote connect to it, your MT4 setup on the vps and connected to your forex account, you will want to get your expert advisors on to the VPS. There are a few ways to do this: The easiest way is to just e-mail them to yourself and then load up your e-mail account on the VPS and download them.

Hi, Gays.
I tried to open an account in the VPS Ultrahosting. But refused to open my account because I live in Brazil.
Do not understand this?
Can someone explain to me why a country that is the world’s seventh largest economy is not accepted by Ultra Hosting?
TKs
does your vps use any broker
Hm,
its yet the second time that my internet connection is not available with Ultra Hosting. Last time it was more than 1 (ONE) hour. Now its 40min. waiting for the support. That is not acceptable for Forex Hosting. But what service is doing a REALLY good job . Any ideas here
I have no idea of forex trading but i’ve the passion not only to trade but to succeed. May you please take me step by step of what i’v to do apart from buying a robot that i dont know how it operates.
Thanks and regards.
I agree with the Yadix VPS, service set up quickly, operating my EA no issue and execution is really great. This is a good broker for scalping
I run MT4 through VPS at Yadix fx broker, the execution is unreal – so fast. My EA trades at all the right times, minimal slippage. Execution time 3.5 MS or less… I recommend using VPS that runs an ea
do you reccomned using one, broker, one vps, one robot to start trading, then as you make money, add more robots? , i want to multiply this! to multiple income steams! are there other ways to do this to reduce risk? but still make money by making mutiply incomes , want to how to do it, and reduce risk? and make more income streams! thank you friend ed god blesws you
You can run many MT4 terminals on one VPS, but you generally want to seperate each robot for individual accounts. Atleast that’s something that I’ve always done for organization and tracking purposes.
Also while 1 broker may be good for 1 ea, it may not be good for another ea. Scalpers in particular like Million Dollar Pips and Fap Turbo require very low spread brokers with fast execution times, where as something like Forex Hacked is far less sensitive to such things and can run on just about any broker.
What is the difference between a Forex VPS provider (eg : UnltraHosting) and a Cloud VPS provider like Interserver? Can I use Interserver VPS for my Forex Robot autotrading or I shlould go for VPS specifically for MT4? Thx
can i use VPS on -my APPLE mac pro laptop
Hi
I have a plan to subscribe your VPS for my meta 4 forex trade. I want to open 10 meta 4 plat from (all belongs under one broker). and i am very new on VPS installation and all. So can i expect a team viewer support from your company on initial momentum.

Hey admin,
Im runnig a vps F20 on ultrahosting. I have 5 mt4 runnings currently. Any knowledge on why I would have two of the same positions for each platform? for example I would have a position open for .01 and the corresponding positions should be 1 position at .02. Instead of having only one of those, I have 2 .02 positions.
Would you know why?
Nick
You are doing grate gob buddy. Thanks for providing this one hosting information here.
That’s ram on a vps not personal computer
Hi
Great job you’re doing here.
Just want to find out what is the recomended size of ram needed to run 4 mt4s with 10 eas on each of the mt4. That’s a total of 40eas running!
Thanks & regards
admin,
how many mt4 platforms could the 2048 mb run successfully?
I can do about 20 before things start getting quite laggy.
Thats what your using now? the 2048 mb? I thought you were using the 1028? Please let me know so I can see which I can get asap.
I could probably go up to the 40 mt4 platforms with the 2048. what you think?
I’m a newbie & I plan to use VPS for my Forex trading. I plan to run 3 robots with 3 different brokers. My question is, can I run 3 X MT4 trading platforms from 3 different brokers on UltraHosting VPS-F5 package, and each broker with 1 live & 1 demo accounts? Is VPS-F5 fast/good enough to run them? Because from the specification of VPS-F5, the recommended number of MT4 is 2. Thx
You should be able to run more than 2 instances of MT4 on that plan. I’m on a higher plan, but am still running over their recommended limit with no problems.
admin,
what sort of vps hosting do you recommend if eventually i have 20+ mt4 platforms running? would the one your using currently be sufficient enough? (1028mb server) when should you increase to the 2048 mb?
Thanks!
You could probably get away with 20 at ultrahosting with 1028mb. If it becomes a problem you may want to consider getting 2 smaller vps so you have the same or close to the same memory, but double the CPU.
so maybe like 2 vps plans each with about 512mb of memory running 10 mt4 platforms each?
hello, any opinion about ucvhost vps ?
admin if I wanted to run between 4-6 metatrader 4 platforms, would the 384 MB of RAM work good? at 24.95 a month?
Yes you should be ok with that setup.
Admin. According to VPS-F5 plan, the recommended number of installed MT4 is 2. Does that mean we can only run max 2 X MT4 platform from 2 different brokers?
I just signed up with Ultra Hosting, I will have an mt4 account running on the VPS with some EAs, what happens when I open that same mt4 account on my regular computer? Do I also need to install the EAs on my local computer?
when using vps, when we login to meta4 terminal, there is an option to save account information. what do you prefer and usually do, you choose to save account information so next time you login to metatrader, no need to retype your user name and password again.. or..you leave this option blank ? very interested in your opinion.
At check out I entered the Coupon Code: FXFBI
and it replied, “The Coupon Promotion has expired.”
Are you ware of this? And are there any new codes?
Thank you.
Yes I am currently working on getting a new one. Will post it as soon as I get it.
New discount code is: FXFBI11
I had signed up VPSLand last week but so far unable to access my VPS. Further, they blocked my live chat coz could not solve the problem. Poor service provider …. lousy VPSLand.
This info is great! Im sure this blog is one of the best on the web! Thank you again for yet another
great blog post!
Thanks – very useful. Does the 10% discount only relate to the first monthly payment or does it apply to subsequent months too?
I believe its the subsequent months as well, I could be wrong though.
Alpari UK again solved the problem with the installation, I use MT4 Hungarian language this could be a problem! Thank you for all the helpful advice you read here!
What is the purpose of installing multiple instances of MT4 for one broker? If I only have one account but many charts running on a few EAs, is it better to separate them into different instances rather than have them running on one instance? Newbie here 🙂
Admin, How do I make the terminals reboot after a system reboot. Iwould imagine we get a reboot from UL once a week. This saves me having to go in and start up the instances every week but also if there is an unexpected reboot during the trading week that I would not know about unless I check
Just add a shortcut in your startup folder for each terminal.exe
I wish I had seen your site yesterday
I am having problems with F
Hi Admin,
Wow…great comparison.
You really give me the idea which VPS should I use.
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
I wish I had seen your site yesterday
I wonder if I can get out of my deal
Realistcally, how many MT4 copies/sessions could I run with a 512K VPS? Next size up?
Also, i’m with VPSLAND now. Sometimes my VPS is summarily terminated because a numsessions limit is exceeded. Will this happen with you?
Hi admin,
UltraHousting seem to be offered their service for selected countries only!
When i clicked on the link and get the following message display “You are not authorized to view this page”.Is there the way to get this problem resolved?Anyway,i am from Malaysia.
Hi, how do i order the service?
I TRIED TO SUBSCRIBE TO ULTRAHOST VPS WITH FXFBI COUPON CODE WITHOUT SUCCESS. WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM?
Not sure, did you try talking to their live support to figure out the issue?
I am interested in this vps. Can someone who uses it please test Ping 207.99.1.85 and let me know the outcome? Thanks
How do you install more than one instance of mt4 terminal of the same broker on vps? Is it possible?
Yes, after you install the first instance, load the installer again but this time point it to install to a different directory. Voila!
admin this article is quite insightful but could you do a similar one on metatrader 4 brokers that are recommended for traders wanting to run robots on their accounts. cos I’m new to this and hear a lot of bad talk about brokers who ‘work against’ traders with robots…
also can you do a similar article and ranking for robots best suited for mini accounts (like 3 digit accounts)…
is it fap turbo can run well with alpari live account when i use ultra hosting as a server?
Could i run many different live account says 5 different live account under one broker company (alpari uk) with ultra hosting server ? if can,,how could i do that ?
I am new to this type of investment and wish to invest with a professional investment manager who uses your 5 best rated robots to make investments to obtain a good monthly % return.
Please give me 3 names of best candidates
Thanks for this amazing review. It was a realy eye opener! I went with Ultrahosting a few weeks ago thanks to you and haven’t had a single issue. VPS has been rock solid and I have 5 MT4 platforms running with no performance issues.
Keep up the great work
I added a comparison rating based on the 4 vps hosting providers I have tested and ranked them accordingly.
If you are running just 2 ea’s on maybe 8 charts. 1 broker. Would you need more than 1 mt4 with this? Can’t they just all run on one? unfamiliar with vps.
If its all on one account then yes you could just install 1 MT4 terminal and run it all from there.
Hi admin,
Did you notice this SLA from Ultrahosting ? Does it affect your trading using any EA? Is the EA remember where it left off when re-launched again (and not making new trades, but continuing where it left off) ??
All other VPS I know had never do this.
Server Patching and Updating
All VPS servers will be rebooted/patched/updated on a weekly basis. This shall be done on Sunday mornings between 3:00 and 4:00 EST.
Hi, i bought a w-10 package – VPS server. When i connect to VPS; i can not open the mailboxes that in mt4 at the VPS. SO i can not see the demo account number and pass… I said to UltraHosting customer Service but they can not solve my issue…
wow that’s easy, thx a lot for advice and the coupon 😉
most grateful…….
hi admin,
i saw in the captured screenshoot, that you are able to load more than 5 MT4 software from one broker in one terminal service session.
How do you do that? Would you share how to do so?
@asiCs
After you install the first instance of metatrader 4 from lets say Alpari UK. Run the install again, but this time change the directory it gets install to.
For Example:
C:\Program Files\Metatrader 4 Alpari UK\
C:\Program Files\Metatrader 4 Alpari UK 2\
