    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.
    • Traffic is not billed per gigabyte. Connection speed depends on your plan and location; unmetered bandwidth does not mean unlimited network speed.
    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.

    • BetaQuantVPS Detect+ is in beta and free on every plan during the beta. 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.

Performance plans are 85% faster per thread, the speed charting and order-entry platforms feel most. Charting and order-entry platforms run mostly on one or two threads, so a faster thread keeps charts and the DOM responsive.

Enterprise NVMe
Drive rating:
Up to 7,000 MB/s
Redundancy, dedicated servers:

Access:
Administrator on Windows, root SSH on Ubuntu

Windows suits desktop platforms such as NinjaTrader and MetaTrader. Ubuntu suits Linux bots, APIs and Docker.

Network

Speed is how much data moves at once, not order latency.

Data transfer:

Standard VPS:
1 Gbps+ (10 Gbps burst)
Performance VPS:
3 Gbps+ (10 Gbps burst)
Dedicated:

Latency is how long one message waits. Actual throughput depends on the network route and workload.

Monitor support

Spread charts across the screens of your own computer in one Remote Desktop session, up to the number each plan lists.

For 2 screens:
VPS Pro / VPS Pro+ or higher

Tick "Use all my monitors" in Remote Desktop before you connect.

Setup time

The typical time from purchase until your VPS is ready.

VPS plans:
Under 60 seconds
Dedicated servers:
30–120 min
Setup help:
24/7 from our support team

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.
For backtests:
VPS Pro / VPS Pro+ or higher
Heavier testing:
VPS Ultra / VPS Ultra+ or higher
Optimization runs:
Dedicated

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+ (beta)

Alerts when your platform or data feed stops. Free on every plan during the beta.

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

Run Interactive Brokers on a VPS in New York. Access your trading workspace through Remote Desktop while your platform runs near IBKR. 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 Interactive Brokers 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. 0-2ms network latencyNew York → IBKR

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

    Send orders over a direct, low-latency connection to IBKR in 0-2ms, 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 IBKR when that route matters to the strategy. The published 0-2ms figure measures network latency; fills and slippage still depend on the broker, venue, order type, and market conditions. How we measure latency.

Run TWS or IB Gateway on your VPS

  1. Connect to your Windows VPS

    Use the server address and credentials in your control panel with Remote Desktop on Windows or Windows App on Mac.

  2. Choose TWS or IB Gateway

    Use TWS for a desktop workspace, or install IB Gateway for a compatible API workflow. Sign in with the intended paper or live account.

  3. Authorize your client

    Configure API access only where needed, restrict permitted connections, and verify market-data subscriptions and order behavior.

  4. Disconnect without signing out

    Close the remote connection, not the application or Windows session. Apps can keep running while the VPS is on. Monitor reconnects, account sessions, and scheduled maintenance.

What is a VPS for IBKR?

An IBKR VPS hosts Trader Workstation, IB Gateway, or your API client connected to an Interactive Brokers account. It does not host the brokerage itself. A remote machine separates your trading tools from your home PC, but account authentication, data permissions, and broker session policies still apply.

Choosing the best VPS for IBKR

Choose resources for either the TWS desktop workspace or the lighter gateway plus your strategy process. Account for periodic authentication and scheduled restarts rather than assuming a permanent session. Compare connectivity to your actual IBKR endpoint and test with a paper account first.

Optimized for Interactive Brokers.

Your Interactive Brokers VPS stays online from pre-market to after-hours, hosted in New York on a typical 0–2 ms route to NYSE and NASDAQ.

Two builds. Pick yours.

Trader Workstation arrives installed on Windows Server 2025 or 2022, ready for your Interactive Brokers login. Choose from 40+ Windows platform templates at checkout.

IB Gateway on a VPS: API bots through the daily restart

IB Gateway connects compatible API trading bots without the full Trader Workstation desktop. Run the gateway and your API client together on your VPS. Enable only the API permissions you need. Test the connection with your paper account before you use live orders.

Your VPS remains available through IBKR’s scheduled restart, but broker login, reauthentication and two-factor requirements still apply. Do not assume automatic login or an indefinitely authenticated session. Monitor connection state and reconcile positions after reconnecting before resending orders.

What changes when your IBKR trading runs on QuantVPS.

Three things change when your IBKR 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.

Execution

Get the Most Out of IBKR SmartRouting with an IBKR VPS Next to the Exchange. Optimized low-latency routing.

IBKR's SmartRouting picks the best venue for your order, but it can only route what has already reached its servers. From a home PC, that trip crosses your ISP and a dozen backbone hops; from a QuantVPS server in New York or Chicago, it is 0-2ms. Whether you trade US equities and options from New York or CME futures from Chicago, your IBKR VPS sits where the matching engines are, so market orders fill closer to the quote and limit orders queue earlier. For algos working in and out of positions all day, that adds up.

Volatility

No Frozen TWS at the Open, on Earnings, or on Fed Day. Stable through market volatility.

Trader Workstation with several watchlists, option chains, and live charts is one of the heaviest platforms in retail trading, and the 9:30 open, earnings releases, and FOMC produce the data bursts that lock it up on an underpowered PC while you have positions on. Your IBKR VPS gives TWS dedicated AMD Ryzen cores, DDR5 memory, NVMe storage, and a 3 Gbps+ port on enterprise hardware in a top-tier datacenter with 24/7 on-site engineering and 24/7 NOC monitoring. That is what 99.999% uptime is built on. Using IB Gateway for automated trading? VPS Lite+ handles it; a full TWS layout with multiple monitors sizes up to VPS Pro+ or Ultra+.

Automatic backups for IBKR VPS

Backups

Never Rebuild Your TWS Layout or API Setup Again: Automatic IBKR VPS Backups. Automated backup workflows.

TWS layouts, watchlists, hotkeys, API configurations, and your strategy code take hours to reconstruct after a disk failure or a bad update. On every VPS plan, automatic off-site backups capture your entire IBKR VPS, so a restore takes minutes instead of an afternoon. Dedicated plans add RAID1 storage, so a single drive failure never touches your setup.

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 Trader Workstation for the full interactive desktop. IB Gateway is useful for compatible API clients that do not need that workspace. Size for both the selected application and your strategy processes, not just the gateway.

Enable only the required API permissions in TWS or IB Gateway and restrict permitted connections. Verify the port and client identifier, and keep public access blocked. Test with your paper account before permitting live orders.

Do not assume that. IBKR authentication, reauthentication, and restart policies still apply on a VPS. Monitor connection state and reconcile positions after reconnecting rather than immediately resending every previously submitted order.

Paper-account behavior and data access depend on your IBKR subscriptions and configuration. Verify the symbols and data permissions separately. Simulated fills are not proof that a strategy will execute identically on the live account.

Large option chains and TWS layouts need more resources than a small gateway process. Add capacity for stream subscriptions, strategy calculations, and logging, while respecting IBKR pacing and market-data limits.

Not always. New York is the default for IBKR because US stocks and options match in the New York area, and Dedicated and Dedicated+ servers there run on the NY4 campus, under 1ms to NYSE and NASDAQ. Choose Chicago if you mostly trade CME futures through IBKR. IBKR assigns each account to one of its servers, so compare the connection your account actually uses. Hosting nearby does not control SmartRouting or exchange queues.
