Which Provider Fits Which Trader
Choose QuantVPS if you want a lower entry price, more cores at the 8GB tier, a money-back period, or a server outside Chicago.

Why Locations Matter Outside CME
A Chicago VPS is the right base for CME futures, and both providers start there. NinjaTrader users who also trade forex or US stocks through brokers outside Chicago need a server near those brokers: a New York VPS for NY4 forex brokers and US stocks and options, or London (LD4) for forex. QuantVPS offers both as standard locations, while Ninja Mobile Trader lists New York City and London on request and publishes no latency figure for them.
FAQs
Is Ninja Mobile Trader cheaper than QuantVPS?
It depends on the plan. QuantVPS starts lower: VPS Starter is $29.99 a month against Ninja Mobile Trader Small at $59. At 8GB of RAM, QuantVPS VPS Lite+ is $79.99 for 4 cores and Ninja Mobile Trader Medium is $89 for 3 cores. Ninja Mobile Trader's Pro Dedicated ($199) costs less than QuantVPS Dedicated ($299.99), with 32GB of RAM against 128GB (prices checked on 10 Oct 2026).
Which has lower latency to CME?
Both publish sub-millisecond figures from Chicago: QuantVPS states 0.52ms typical latency to CME, and Ninja Mobile Trader states <1ms. Neither figure is an order-fill time, so test the route to your own broker or data feed before you rely on either.

No. Its FAQ says there is no official trial, and its terms state a strict no-refund policy. QuantVPS has a 14-day money-back guarantee on every plan.
