Rent VPS for Web Trading

VPS (virtual private server) is a type of hosting that involves renting a virtual server, the constant operation of which is guaranteed by its supplier. In simple terms, the user has at his disposal a powerful computer that works without failures.

The main feature of VPS, thanks to which experienced traders choose it, is constant work. For trading robots to function properly, it is necessary to ensure uninterrupted access to the terminal. If you do not use a VPS server, this task will become almost impossible.

When installing advisors on a regular PC, there is always a possibility of technical failures. For example, problems with the Internet, power outage or the device itself. In such situations, the work of the advisors is disrupted, and then you have to set all the settings again. By using a VPS server you can avoid such problems.

VPS hosting, main advantages

Traders who have such a server at their disposal have the opportunity to manage their transactions in a remote software environment. At the same time, everything will be maximally “tailored” for hardware and software security.

Significant benefits for hosting clients:

• the ability to quickly download programs of varying complexity.
• Effective work from anywhere in the world, all you need is Internet access.
• trading exchange tools run from a smoothly running server with high performance.
• order execution time does not depend on Internet speed.
• maintaining a high level of security for the user’s personal data.
• you can work both from a remote terminal and from a PC.

Features of choosing a VPS server

Currently, users have access to a wide range of options with different functionality and prices. It is not recommended to use a VPS server that is too cheap for traders, since in this case you can hardly expect high quality of the services provided.

Problems may arise both when installing such software and when using it. It is better to opt for proven and reliable software providers, such as GEO.Hosting

To choose the right VPS server that will solve your individual problems, you need to know how many terminals you plan to work with (1-2 or 5-6 terminals). The fact is that depending on this factor, operating settings are set.

What characteristics should you pay attention to when choosing a VPS server:

• Processor power. As a rule, they look not at the processor frequency, but at the number of cores. If you plan to work with 1-2 terminals, a processor with two or three cores will be sufficient. And for 5-6 terminals you will need to increase the frequency to 4-5 cores.
• Amount of RAM. Here, too, there is a direct relationship. The more terminals, the more RAM. 1-3 terminals can easily be serviced by 4 GB of memory, and 5-6 terminals will need 6-8 GB.
• Hard disk capacity. This factor affects the permissible amount of information stored. However, hard disk space does not increase (reduce) performance since the terminal does not take up much memory. If you do not plan to test robots on VPS (it is better not to do this), then you should not pay attention to this parameter. 40-70 GB is quite enough for any number of terminals.

After you select the appropriate options and pay for hosting services, you will receive login information by email. They will also be in your personal account. After receiving this data, you can start trading on the exchange using a VPS server.

How to choose a provider

When choosing a provider, you should consider the following parameters:

1. How to connect a VPS server (the settings should be simple).
2. Cost of services (the provider may offer different tariffs).
3. Select settings (the user is given the opportunity to choose from different options).
4. The hosting provider GEO.Hosting offers convenient and favorable terms of cooperation. You can learn more about the features of the provision of services and order a VPS with suitable parameters on the company’s website.

How to use a VPS server in trading?

Everything is very simple here. The user chooses a reliable provider and orders its services. Then, all that remains is to install the trading terminal and other software and perform various actions related to trading on the stock exchange.

The GEO.Hosting company provides VPS servers that help get rid of another problem - failures during operations. In fact, this is a very important point in trading. Delays caused by technical reasons can disrupt the trading process and prevent the trader from making money.

A stable working VPS provides high speed due to the fact that the path from the PC with the trading terminal installed on it and the user’s computer is shortened. Thus, the ping is significantly reduced.

How safe is it to connect to a VPS server?

Since the communication channel is encrypted, the trader does not have to worry about the security of his data when connecting to the server. He gets the opportunity to work from anywhere in the world, on any device, without worrying about important information getting to third parties.

The server is available for any specialized equipment that supports the encrypted RDP protocol (Remote Desktop Protocol - Windows remote desktop).

Everything that is transmitted over such a connection is encrypted using a cryptographically strong algorithm, an excess length key. Such protection cannot be cracked by brute force.

Also, to ensure security, you can use a set of allowed IP addresses from which the VPS server will be controlled. This set will be limited to a previously known list. Such restrictions exclude even the theoretical possibility of third parties accessing the server if the user's login and password combination is stolen. Of course, to prevent such cases, it is better to change the user password regularly.

Conclusion

So, the best solution to ensure round-the-clock operation of the trading terminal is to choose a reliable and productive VPS server, which will be located in the data center of the hosting provider GEO.Hosting. Also, renting this security will protect the trader from losses associated with low operating speed and unstable communication between the device and the user.
