VPS (Virtual Private Server)

Also called: forex VPS

A remote server used to host EAs 24/7 — eliminates dependence on a home computer and reduces latency to the broker.

Definition

Running EAs from a VPS keeps them online even if your home PC reboots or loses internet. Choosing a VPS in the same data centre as your broker (Equinix LD4 for many London brokers) can reduce execution latency from 100ms+ to single-digit ms.
