    Included at no extra cost. Hover or tap a feature for details.

    Trading & access

    6 included
    • Run trading platforms compatible with your chosen Windows or Linux system. Platform licenses and market-data subscriptions are separate, and available CPU and RAM determine how much you can run at once.
    • No plan-imposed limit on exchange connections through your trading software. Exchange permissions, data subscriptions, platform limits, and available server resources still apply.
    • No plan-imposed cap on API connections for your trading tools. Broker and API rate limits, account permissions, and available server resources still apply.
    • Run AI agents, compatible runtimes, and your own MCP servers on your VPS. These workloads use your plan’s included CPU, memory, and storage; connect your own APIs and tools.
    • Administrator access on Windows or root access on Linux lets you install compatible platforms, indicators, and tools, and manage your server settings.
    • Run compatible trade copiers such as Replikanto. Software licenses are separate, and the number of accounts you can copy depends on your software and server resources.

    Network & protection

    5 included
    • New York is this page's default location; you can choose another on the plan card. Actual latency depends on your broker, data feed, and network route; the latency row shows the estimate for the selected location.
    • Your server has its own IP address for remote access and connecting trading tools. You can use it with services that support IP allowlisting.
    • Always-on DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) protection with advanced traffic filtering, plus firewalls and intrusion detection.
    • Server protection complements network DDoS filtering. You should still keep your operating system and trading software updated and protect your account credentials; no protection eliminates every security risk.
    • Every plan includes unmetered bandwidth.
    How we protect your server

    Support & reliability

    6 included
    • Get help around the clock from a US-based team familiar with trading platforms, data feeds, and VPS troubleshooting.
    • Our support team can help you move your trading environment from another server. Contact us to coordinate the move and check any platform-specific requirements.
    • Get assistance connecting to your server and setting up your trading environment. Provisioning time is shown separately for each plan.
    • Our Network Operations Center monitors every server, network path, and datacenter 24x7x365 with a 15-minute first-reply target for critical issues. Average first response under 10 minutes.
    • QuantVPS Detect+ is included with every plan at no extra cost. It monitors NinjaTrader 8 and other trading platforms, and data feed and broker connections (for example Rithmic, CQG, Tradovate and IBKR), and alerts by email and in the dashboard.
    • Our industry-leading 99.999% uptime guarantee SLA gives a service credit for any covered outage of a minute or more, under the SLA terms. It covers service availability, not broker, exchange, or trading-platform availability.

    Flexible plans

    3 included
    • There is no one-time server setup charge. Your selected plan, billing period, and any optional add-ons determine the price shown at checkout.
    • Upgrade from your dashboard as your trading workload grows. To move to a smaller plan, contact support. Available configurations and billing adjustments depend on the change.
    • Cancel your subscription at any time with no hidden fees.

Backtesting

No backtesting:
Sized for live trading, not for backtests on historical data.
Simple backtesting:
Suits simple strategy backtests on historical data. Large datasets or several tests at once can strain this plan.
Moderate backtesting:
Suits larger backtests and historical datasets than the Pro tier. Testing shares CPU and RAM with your live platforms.
Extensive backtesting:
Built for extensive backtesting and strategy optimization on dedicated resources. Test time still depends on your software, data size and strategy.

Backups

An extra recovery point for your VPS, at no extra cost. RAID1 mirrors data across drives to protect against a single drive failure.

Included on:
Every Standard and Performance VPS

Keep separate copies of important trading files as well. RAID1 is not a backup. It does not protect against deletion or data corruption.

QuantVPS Detect+

Alerts when your platform or data feed stops. Included with every plan at no extra cost.

Watches:
NinjaTrader 8 and other trading platforms, data feed and broker connections, and the VPS itself
Alerts:
Configurable alerts for critical events

AI Compatible

Agents you can install: Claude Code (Linux), Codex (Linux), OpenCode (Linux), Hermes (Linux), OpenClaw (Linux), Cursor CLI (Windows or Linux), AutoGPT (Linux), n8n (Linux), LM Studio (Windows), Gemini CLI (Linux).

Agents run on your plan's CPU, memory and storage with your own API keys. Local models need more memory. Your own MCP servers and the QuantVPS REST API work too. Unsure which agent to use? Our team helps you set it up at no charge.

How It Works

An Alpaca VPS built for always-on charts, strategies, algos and faster execution.

Run Alpaca on a VPS in New York. Access your trading workspace through Remote Desktop while your platform runs near Alpaca. Follow the same three steps, with resources and connectivity selected for your trading setup.

  1. Secure remote accessWindows, Mac, iPhone, iPad or Android

    Your trading computer. In the cloud.

    Connect and control your trading strategies from any device, anywhere in the world, through secure remote desktop, while execution remains on QuantVPS.

    • Global Access
    • Remote Desktop
    • 24/7 Uptime

    Workflow stage

    The complete workflow behind this stage

    Connect to the Windows workspace through Remote Desktop from a supported desktop or mobile device. The platform and strategies keep running on the server when the local device disconnects.

  2. Continuous operationWindows Server or Ubuntu 24.04

    Run Alpaca on New York infrastructure. Built for continuous trading.

    Host bots, algorithms, and critical software on the QuantVPS Edge in New York, configured for continuous low-latency operation.

    • High Performance
    • New York Datacenter
    • Trading Optimized

    Workflow stage

    The complete workflow behind this stage

    Run automated platforms and related software on a server located in New York. Select the CPU, memory, and storage tier around the processes, charts, and historical work the setup performs. The firewall, network configuration, and security come optimized for trading performance.

  3. 0-10ms network latencyNew York → Alpaca

    Execute through a direct Alpaca path. Fewer hops, less slippage.

    Send orders over a direct, low-latency connection to Alpaca in 0-10ms, reducing network hops and slippage. The server remains available independently of the local computer and internet connection.

    • Low Latency
    • Fewer Hops
    • Reduced Slippage

    Workflow stage

    The complete workflow behind this stage

    Place the workspace near Alpaca when that route matters to the strategy. The published 0-10ms figure measures network latency; fills and slippage still depend on the broker, venue, order type, and market conditions. How we measure latency.

Run Alpaca API strategies on your VPS

  1. Connect to the server

    Choose an OS supported by your client: use RDP for a Windows VPS or SSH for Linux, then install the required runtime and dependencies.

  2. Configure the Alpaca client

    Install a supported SDK and start with paper-account credentials stored securely outside your source code.

  3. Test orders and data together

    Validate market-data subscriptions, account mode, order events, and reconnect behavior in paper trading before considering eligible live deployment.

  4. Supervise the running service

    Run the client under a service manager, monitor logs and positions, and handle reconnects and API limits. Test restart recovery before leaving it unattended.

What is a VPS for Alpaca?

An Alpaca VPS runs your trading API client, bot, or market-data service on a remote computer. Alpaca remains the external brokerage and API service. Your code runs on the VPS. Account eligibility, live-trading permissions, and data subscriptions remain separate.

Choosing the best VPS for Alpaca

Choose resources for strategy calculations, subscribed streams, and retained data. Keep paper and live endpoints and credentials distinct, and confirm your data plan. Include order reconciliation and position limits; a persistent server does not make a strategy safe by itself.

Built for Alpaca

Optimized for Alpaca.

Your Alpaca VPS stays online from pre-market to after-hours, hosted in New York on a typical 0–10 ms route to the feed.

Two builds. Pick yours.

Ready in under 60 seconds. From checkout to login.

Your Alpaca VPS is typically deployed and ready in under 60 seconds after purchase, reachable over Remote Desktop. Dedicated servers take 30–120 minutes.

Online from pre-market to after-hours.

US stocks trade 9:30 AM to 4 PM New York time, with pre-market from 4 AM and after-hours until 8 PM. Between your Remote Desktop check-ins, your VPS stays online, market data keeps flowing and your Alpaca bots and tools keep running.

Regular hours in New York time (ET); holidays and early closes vary. Check-ins are illustrative.

Alpaca REST and WebSocket APIs from New York, low latency to US markets.

Run your Alpaca REST clients, WebSocket consumers and trading processes together on a New York VPS. The VPS stays on and keeps the pipeline online when your laptop is off. Monitor reconnects and reconcile account state before you submit new orders.

Performance Hardware

What changes when your Alpaca trading runs on QuantVPS.

Three things change when your Alpaca trading moves off your desk: where your orders start, how it holds up in a fast market, and the hardware under it.
Same order, two routes. Sample prices; actual fills vary.

Commission-free trading through Alpaca requires optimal connectivity for superior execution quality across US equities and crypto markets. Our high-performance Alpaca VPS, delivering 0-10ms latency to major exchanges, ensures your Alpaca orders achieve the best possible fills.

Volatility

Master Market Volatility: Ensure Alpaca Stability with a Robust Alpaca VPS. Stable through market volatility.

Major market events and economic announcements can create extreme volatility in equities and crypto markets.

Maintain consistent platform performance during high-impact market movements. All of it runs with 99.999% uptime on enterprise-grade hardware in professional datacenters staffed 24/7 by on-site engineers, not a desktop under a desk.

Questions & Answers

Alpaca VPS FAQ.

Alpaca questions, answered
Sound familiar?5 common ones

Ever missed a setup because you were away from your desk?

Market data keeps flowing and your strategies keep running.

If any of these sound familiar, a trading VPS is the fix.

Use the correct endpoint and separate credentials for each environment. Verify the account before placing orders and keep configuration changes explicit. A paper deployment should not silently fall back to live settings.

Yes, with a compatible SDK, runtime, and eligible API account. Run the process under supervision, protect credentials, and test startup, shutdown, and recovery without relying on an interactive terminal remaining open.

No. Data feeds and entitlements can differ by subscription. Verify the source and permissions used for live signals and backtests; different coverage can produce different strategy inputs.

Reconnect the update stream and reconcile open orders and positions using the API. Track client order identifiers and check uncertain submissions before retrying to avoid duplicate exposure.

Budget for subscribed symbols, indicator calculations, order management, and retained history. A small paper-trading bot is not representative of a full-market scanner. Monitor peak CPU, memory, and storage growth.

No. Product eligibility, buying power, market permissions, and trading rules still apply. Hosting supplies a runtime, not an exemption from brokerage or jurisdictional requirements.
