Where each price comes from

MetaQuotes: mql5.com/en/vps, its Mini plan (1 month) at “15 USD per month” and its Max plan (12 months) at “10 USD per month”. FXSVPS: the plan cards on Cheap Forex VPS and Best Forex VPS; the Cheap page says “The shortest term is three months”, so those plans have no monthly price here, and its yearly prices carried “20% off every yearly plan this month”. FXSVPS's two-year prices are lower still and aren't in this table. ForexVPS: its plans page, which showed a November sale that day: the list prices are $40.00, $60.00 and $80.00 a month, the monthly figures are list less the 10% code on its own order links, and nothing we read says that code applies to renewals. Every promotional figure is marked in the calculator.

Which plan holds my terminals?

The calculator takes each seller's smallest plan whose own card names your number of terminals.

Where the sellers' own pages disagree

ForexVPS's plan cards say 1–2 platforms on Core, 2–3 on Edge and 3–5+ on Prime; its knowledge base recommends 1–3, 4–5 and 6–7 “when MetaTrader platforms are properly optimized” (ForexVPS, How Many MT4 or Trading Terminals, updated 19 July 2026). The calculator follows the cards, and uses the knowledge base only for six or seven terminals on Prime. FXSVPS prints a terminal count on every card, and its own gigabyte-a-terminal rule is stricter than some of them: the MT5 VPS size calculator sizes by memory instead, with a figure you measure.

VPS or my own PC left on?

Electricity for a month is watts × 730 hours ÷ 1,000 × your price per kWh. It is often less than a VPS; it buys no uptime.

What the electricity figure leaves out

730 is the hours in an average month (365 × 24 ÷ 12). The PC row counts electricity only, at the watts and tariff you type: not your internet line, not the hardware, and not the trades an EA misses when Windows restarts for an update, the power cuts or the router drops. An EA only trades while its terminal is running and connected, so the question a price can't answer is how often your PC is neither. If you keep the PC, MT5 no connection covers the first things to check when the terminal drops.

Can I try one before I pay for a year?

Each seller has a different way in, and none is a free month.

The three, in the sellers' own words

MetaQuotes: “Free trial period - 24 hours”, then “You will be automatically switched to the paid plan after 24 hours” (mql5.com/en/vps). FXSVPS: a paid trial, “$1.99 now. $9.99 on Day 3 … unless you cancel by the end of Day 2” (FXSVPS, trial); its refund policy calls itself “a fault-based policy. It is not a money-back guarantee, and it is not a trial period” (FXSVPS, Refund Policy, version 2.3). ForexVPS: no trial; its terms give a “14-day money-back guarantee” on a first VPS order, asked for by email within 14 days, and also say “Dedicated Servers and discounted products are nonrefundable” (ForexVPS, Terms). Its plans were on sale on 10 November 2026, so ask ForexVPS in writing whether a sale-price order keeps the guarantee before you rely on it.

What the cheapest row doesn't tell you

MetaQuotes' hosting has no Windows to look after and takes no DLLs; the two Windows VPS sellers differ in size, not only price.

The differences their pages state

MetaQuotes' rules: “One rented terminal can work only with one User's trading account” and “Any DLL calls are forbidden” ( MetaQuotes, VPS rules), so its cost rises with every account. FXSVPS is the cheaper Windows VPS at every terminal count here. ForexVPS's smallest plan has more memory than Lite, the smallest of FXSVPS's main range (4 GB against 3 GB, 2 cores each), and its plans page lists a trade copier and its trading analytics on every plan. We haven't rented either company's server, so nothing here says which runs better. If your broker pays for a VPS at your volume, that beats every row: check it with the broker free VPS calculator. Place the server with the broker server location finder.

Method and privacy

Method: Prices are each seller's own page on 10 November 2026, in US dollars: mql5.com/en/vps, FXSVPS's plan cards and ForexVPS's plans page, which showed a sale that day. MetaQuotes' hosting is priced per trading account. For the two VPS companies the calculator takes the cheapest plan whose own card names your number of terminals; for six or seven terminals on ForexVPS it uses Prime, as ForexVPS's knowledge base recommends. Promotional prices are marked: FXSVPS's yearly prices included 20% off that month, ForexVPS's monthly prices are list less its 10% code for new orders, and its yearly prices were a November sale. The PC row is watts × 730 hours ÷ 1,000 × your price per kWh: electricity only. We haven't rented or benchmarked any of these servers.

Common questions

How much does a forex VPS cost per month?

On 10 November 2026, month to month: 15 USD for one account on MetaQuotes' built-in hosting, $11.99 to $43.99 on FXSVPS's main range, and $36 to $72 on ForexVPS with its 10% code for new orders (list $40 to $80). Paying a year up front costs less a month: 10 USD on MetaQuotes, from $3.96 on FXSVPS's Cheap range and from $28.80 on ForexVPS, both sale prices that day. Each is the seller's own page that day.

Is a VPS cheaper than leaving my PC on?

Often not, on electricity alone. A PC left on all month uses watts × 730 hours ÷ 1,000 kWh; at 60 watts and $0.15 a kWh that is 43.8 kWh, or $6.57. What the electricity figure leaves out is uptime: an EA trades only while its terminal is running and connected, and a home PC restarts for updates and loses power and internet.

Do I need a VPS to run an EA?

No. An EA needs a terminal that stays open and connected; any Windows machine that does that will run it. A VPS is a rented machine in a data centre that does it without your PC. For one MT5 account whose EAs load no DLL, MetaQuotes' built-in hosting is rented from inside the terminal and leaves no Windows to look after.

What is the cheapest way to run several MT5 accounts?

A Windows VPS, once you have more than one account: MetaQuotes' hosting is one subscription per trading account, so its cost rises with every account, while one VPS runs several terminals. On the day's prices FXSVPS was the cheaper of the two VPS companies at every terminal count its plan cards cover.

Can I try a VPS before paying for a year?

MetaQuotes gives a 24-hour free trial and then switches to the paid plan. FXSVPS sells a three-day trial for $1.99 that continues at $9.99 a month from Day 3 (its regular trial; a second, larger one continues at $23.28) unless cancelled by the end of Day 2, and its refund policy is conditional. ForexVPS has no trial; its terms give a 14-day refund window on a first VPS order and also say discounted products are nonrefundable, so ask before relying on it at a sale price.

Does ProEA earn from the sellers here?

ProEA is an affiliate of FXSVPS and of ForexVPS, and not of MetaQuotes. The one partner link under the result is labelled and follows the row you pick, starting with the cheaper of the two. Every price is read from the seller's own page and multiplied the same way.
