A VPS is a virtual machine running on a physical server, created using virtualization (hypervisor) technology. Each VPS has its own allocated CPU, RAM and disk, and its own OS. It behaves like a dedicated computer, but on shared hardware. In forex, a VPS is a popular choice for running trading platforms and EAs: it offers the dedicated performance of a private server at a lower cost. A forex VPS allows 24/7 operation of robots independent of your home PC, and can be located near broker servers to minimize latency. Trading-specific VPS providers pre-install MT4/MT5 and optimize the environment for automated trading, ensuring stability and fast trade execution
