VPS or Virtual Private Server also known as VDS or Virtual Dedicated Server is similar to have a computer somewhere else in this world. You can remotely connect to that computer. This service is useful for those who do not have a reliable Internet connection. You can obtain a VPS and istall your trading platform on it. It will then run 24/7 for you.

When you are getting a VPS make sure...

• The VPS operating system is Windows. MetaTrader is designed for Windows. Although there are solutions to install it on Linux but why would you put yourself into trouble to use Linux.
• The VPS service provider does not disconnect you due to inactivity.
• The price is reasonable. Do some research on that.
• Talk to the VPS provider and let them know about the reason that you want to use VPS. Make sure their service is fully compatible with what you need.
