Please note that we do not provide support for VPS related issues. Our support is for the bot only. If you have questions or run into problems with your VPS, you should contact the support team of your VPS provider.
This guide is designed to make the VPS setup as simple as possible, even if you have never used a VPS before.
💻 What Is a VPS and Why Do You Need It?
To run the bot, you need a VPS. A VPS is a computer that is always online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The bot needs to run all the time. If you use your own computer, things like internet problems, power cuts, or your computer turning off can stop the bot and affect your trades. A VPS avoids these issues and keeps the bot running without interruptions. You can think of a VPS as a computer that you rent online and never have to turn off.
The bot and MT4 or MT5 do not need much power, but it is important to choose a reliable VPS provider. We recommend using Ionos or Contabo. Make sure you choose a Windows VPS, as this is required to run MT4 or MT5 and the bot. You can access and control your VPS from any device, just like a normal computer.
