Even though a VPS based in other parts of the UK or in for example the Netherlands can still yield good results in terms of reducing latency, the best options are to choose London where possible. This will eliminate the location barrier and a VPS will have the same speed.

Choosing the Right cTrader VPS

Like any other subscription service, VPS providers have different subscription plans. The plans can go as high as $50 and as low as $10. The longer the duration you commit to, the more money you could save. Annual plans are usually the best value for money. Some brokers like RoboForex even offer a free VPS to their clients. Before purchasing, you should always check the advice and offers from your broker as well as the requirements which are needed for the trading platform to perform at it’s best.
