Overview

Concepts

Forex VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a service that enables retail brokers to grow revenue and enhance trader activity. The platform operates on virtual machines (cloud servers) running 24/7 in our secure data centers.

Each VPS comes with a licensed Windows operating system and is pre-installed with all necessary tools and trading terminals, customized to the broker's preferences. Traders use Forex VPS to run MetaTrader Expert Advisors and cTrader cBots, enabling fully automated and uninterrupted order execution on broker servers, generating commission fees with every trade.

Key features

• Each Forex VPS is assigned a dedicated set of resources and unique public IPv4 address, ensuring full isolation and protecting traders from impacting each other

Getting started

The setup process is fully handled by your account manager. They will grant platform access, provide a demo, and configure your VPS fleet according to your requirements, including MetaTrader terminal installation and any necessary software configurations.

Limitations

To optimize VPS costs and minimize management efforts, we automate and streamline a lot of things in our Forex VPS service. This includes certain limitations that should not significantly affect you.

• Windows-only service. MetaTrader terminal is a Windows application. We automatically deploy your preferred Windows Server version from regularly updated and tested images.
• Self-service tool instead of VNC console. When a VPS or cloud server loses network connection, users typically use VNC console for recovery and access to the operating system. To relieve you of manual work, we provide a self-service tool that automatically resets and corrects the VPS configuration, restoring the network connection in 99% of cases. The tool can be called via our API and can be easily integrated into Trader's Room - just add a button for your customers and reduce the workload to your support team.
• Single network adapter & IP address. Since the VPS acts solely as a client and is used by a single trader, multiple IP addresses are unnecessary. This simplifies management and reduces additional IPv4 costs. If you need your VPS to connect to trading servers through our GPN for faster access, contact your account manager.
• One storage volume per VPS. MetaTrader terminal is a lightweight application that does not store a lot of data locally nor does it write extensively to the disk. This is why we support only one storage volume per VPS, used for both the operating system and MetaTrader terminals. If you are currently on the "1 Terminal" plan and need more storage space, you can always upgrade your instances through our customer portal or the API. If you need a custom VPS configuration, your account manager can assist you.
• Automated backups only. To protect customer data, we take daily backups of each VPS and store them for 15 days, without requiring manual snapshots. This process is fully automated and does not impact trading. We do not charge anything extra for this, as it is included in the service.
• Auto-generated VPS names. To simplify service integration with your CRM, VPS names are generated automatically. Each new instance's name is provided in API responses and VPS readiness emails. There is no need to develop a name generation code in your CRM.

Billing

The service is provided on a postpaid basis. Your account will be charged at the end of the month according to the actual usage. Billing is calculated proportionally, based on the number of days the service was active.

Cancelation terms

The service can be canceled at any time by contacting your account manager. Please note that any outstanding payments up to the deletion date must still be paid.
