MT5 VPS: Windows Server for MetaTrader 5

A Windows Server VPS for MetaTrader 5, in 42 cities, from $30.90 a month. You get the whole desktop over Remote Desktop as Administrator, so MT5 runs your expert advisors, DLLs and scripts, alongside any other Windows program, for as many broker accounts as the memory holds.

Where

Pick the city closest to your broker's MT5 server.

Your broker says where its trade servers are. Once MT5 is running, the ping in the terminal's bottom-right corner is the number that matters. Each card is that city's Windows Server 2022 price, read from the catalogue the cart charges from; choose one and the order form below opens on it.

Ordering in London, United KingdomChange city

Step 01

Choose a size

Sizes are fixed shapes, not sliders. Changing size later is a support request, and a smaller size usually means a new server because a disk cannot shrink.

Step 02

Choose an image

Clean vendor images, nothing preloaded that you did not ask for. You can rebuild onto any other image from the panel at any time.

Every image is the vendor's own, unmodified. If you want the machine configured before you log in, add a start-up script below.

Step 03

Choose a term and add-ons

Terms are prepaid. Annual takes 10% off the same monthly rate — it is a discount for paying up front, not a different product.

Billing term

$30.90 charged every month. Switch to annual at any renewal.

How many

One machine. Each one you add is built separately, with its own address and root password.

Not available on C2-4-50S in London — its supplier has no nightly backup service we can switch on for this machine. Take your own backups off the box, or pick a machine that has them.

Sizes

Which size for MetaTrader 5.

Memory decides how many terminals you can keep open; cores decide how fast an optimisation finishes. Prices are today's Windows Server 2022 prices, per month, in London.

What MetaQuotes says

  • From the MT5 help on testing agents: the number of local testing agents equals the number of logical cores, and in an optimisation each pass runs as a separate process on a separate agent.
  • MetaQuotes publishes no RAM figure per terminal, so we print none. The three sizes below are our reading: one terminal, several terminals, and optimisation.

One terminal

Compare

This VPS or the one built into MT5.

MetaTrader 5 has its own hosting, rented from inside the terminal. It moves a copy of one terminal to MetaQuotes' servers. Here is how it differs, from MetaQuotes' own rules.

PriceAdvertised from $15 a monthFrom $30.90 a month

If you run one EA without DLLs on one account, MetaQuotes' own hosting is simpler and cheaper, and you should use it. A Windows Server VPS is for everything past that: several accounts or brokers, EAs that need DLLs, scripts, a trade copier, or other trading software beside MT5.

Their side of the table is from the MQL5 VPS rules, read on 15 October 2026.

Set up

From delivery to a running EA.

Done once, in this order. Setup help is available on request through a ticket.

  1. Connect. Open Remote Desktop and sign in as Administrator with the address and password from your delivery email.
  2. Install MT5 from your broker. Download MetaTrader 5 from your broker's website, install it and sign in to your trading account. The broker's build already lists its trade servers.
  3. Add your EA. In MT5 open File › Open Data Folder, put your expert advisor in MQL5\Experts, then refresh the Navigator and drag the EA onto its chart.
  4. Allow it to trade. Press Algo Trading on the toolbar. In Tools › Options › Expert Advisors, allow algorithmic trading, and allow DLL imports only if your EA needs them.
  5. Start by itself. Put an MT5 shortcut in the Startup folder (shell:startup in the Run box) and turn on automatic sign-in, for example with Microsoft's Autologon tool, so MT5 is back after a restart.
  6. Plan the reboots. In Windows Update, set active hours to the hours you trade, so a restart lands when the market does not need you.
  7. Leave the right way. Close the Remote Desktop window to disconnect. Signing out ends every program in the session, MT5 included.

Plainly

What we do not do.

We do not install MT5 or your EA

The server is a clean Windows Server 2022. Your terminal, your EA and your settings are yours to install, as on a desktop.

We never ask for trading logins

No trading password, investor password, 2FA code or withdrawal detail, ever. Anyone who asks for one in our name is not us.

We do not publish latency we have not measured

The distance that matters is to your broker's server, which we do not know. Read the ping in MT5 and compare cities on an hourly server if you need to.

We do not promise trading results

A VPS keeps your terminal on and connected. It does not make trades profitable or remove the risk in trading.

MetaTrader 5 and MQL5 belong to MetaQuotes Ltd. PartVPS is an independent hosting company and is not affiliated with or endorsed by MetaQuotes.

Questions

What traders ask before they buy one.

Which city should I choose for MT5?
The one closest to your broker's MT5 trade server. Brokers say where their servers are, and their support will tell you if the site does not. Once MT5 is running, the ping to the broker is shown in the bottom-right corner of the terminal: that is the number that matters, and you can compare two cities on an hourly server before you settle. We do not publish latency figures we have not measured.
How much CPU and RAM does MetaTrader 5 need on a VPS?
One terminal with a few expert advisors is comfortable on 2 vCPU and 4 GB of RAM. Several terminals, or several broker accounts, want 4 vCPU and 8 GB of RAM. Strategy Tester optimisation is the one job that eats cores: MT5 creates one local testing agent per logical core and runs each optimisation pass on its own agent, so more cores finish an optimisation sooner. Memory decides how many terminals you can keep open; cores decide how fast you optimise.
Can my expert advisor use DLLs?
Yes. This is your own Windows Server, so an EA that imports a DLL runs as it does on your desktop once you allow DLL imports in MT5's options. MetaQuotes' own built-in hosting forbids DLL calls and stops any program that makes one.
How is this different from the VPS built into MetaTrader 5?
MetaQuotes' built-in hosting moves a copy of one terminal to their server: one trading account per rented terminal, up to 32 charts with expert advisors (16 on free hosting), no DLLs, scripts not moved, and no access to the server's desktop. It is advertised from $15 a month. Here you get a whole Windows Server over Remote Desktop: as many terminals and accounts as the memory holds, DLLs, scripts and any other Windows program. If you run one EA without DLLs on one account, MetaQuotes' hosting is simpler and cheaper, and we would say so.
Can I run several MT5 accounts or brokers on one VPS?
Yes. Each MT5 installation is its own folder, so two brokers, or two accounts at one broker, are two installations and two shortcuts. Size by the number of terminals you keep open, not by the number of charts.
Does MT5 keep running when I close Remote Desktop?
Yes. Closing the Remote Desktop window disconnects your session and leaves MT5 running. Signing out ends it. Put MT5 in the Startup folder and turn on automatic sign-in so it starts again by itself after a Windows Update restart.
Is MetaTrader 5 preinstalled?
No. The server arrives as a clean Windows Server 2022. Download MT5 from your broker's website, because the broker's build already knows its trade servers, and install it as you would on a desktop. We never ask for your trading password or your 2FA codes.
Is the Windows license included?
Yes, the Windows Server license is in the price of every size the cards quote.
Can I try it before paying for a month?
In cities billed by the hour, yes: deploy a server, run MT5 for an evening, destroy it and pay for those hours. The order form shows whether the city you picked bills by the hour.
Can I pay with crypto?
Yes: card or cryptocurrency (USDT, Bitcoin or Ethereum), and the server costs the same either way. Paying in crypto adds a payment fee of $1 and 5% to the invoice, which the payment page shows before you send anything. Whichever you use, the monthly price renews at the same figure.
Does a VPS guarantee my trades?
No hosting does. A VPS keeps your terminal on and connected; it does not make trades profitable or remove the risk in trading.
