QuantVPS. Your trading computer in the cloud. Markets never sleep. Neither does your VPS. When you close your laptop, or leave your office, it stays online, so market data keeps flowing and your strategies keep running. That’s what you can do with a trading VPS from QuantVPS.
QuantVPS offers high-performance trading VPS solutions for futures, stocks, options, and more. But what exactly is a trading VPS, and how can it benefit your trading? A trading VPS, a virtual private server, is your own Windows computer in the cloud. Same desktop, same Start menu you already know. It just lives in our datacenter, instead of under your desk.
This means you can connect using any device: your PC, Mac or phone. And from anywhere: your office, the airport, a hotel, even on vacation. Your device is just a window into your VPS, that’s always running in the cloud.
Now you understand why a VPS is so important for trading. The market doesn’t sleep, and your strategies can run 24/7 on your server, so you never miss a tick.
By hosting your trading VPS in our global datacenters, in close proximity to the world’s major exchanges, you can achieve ultra-low latency. Latency is the time it takes to send and receive your orders. From your home PC, an order hops through your router, your internet provider and the public internet before it reaches the exchange.
From a VPS close to the exchange, it’s a short, direct hop. Lower latency means your orders can reach the exchange, and get filled, faster than traders located farther from the exchange. With QuantVPS, you can achieve as low as 0.52 milliseconds to CME from our datacenter in Chicago for futures, two or less to Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange from our New York location, and low latency to many exchanges around the world from our global footprint.
Now, why not AWS, Azure, or another server provider? There, not only are they self-managed, but you can also face unpredictable pricing, licensing, setup and bandwidth fees, and more, with no technical support included. With QuantVPS, you get fully managed infrastructure, fixed and affordable pricing with no contracts or commitments, no hidden fees, unmetered bandwidth, and 24/7 technical support that answers within minutes. And your VPS is ready to go out of the box, built for trading on ultra-fast AMD Ryzen processors.
You also get a 99.999% uptime guarantee, backed by our SLA. By hosting in our institutional-grade datacenters, you have redundant power, cooling and networks, the kind of infrastructure you probably don’t have at home or in your office. Add advanced monitoring and our on-site smart hands, datacenter technicians on standby around the clock, to ensure your VPS is running 24/7.
Your systems stay safe, secure and locked down, with always-on DDoS filtering, a dedicated IP, and advanced cybersecurity measures. And our global technical support team helps thousands of traders worldwide, 24/7, in any language.
Getting started is quick and easy. Choose your plan and your platform, and we’ll spin up your VPS in the optimal location, like Chicago for futures. Your platform comes pre-installed at checkout, and your login instructions land in your dashboard. Your VPS is delivered ready to trade, usually within minutes of payment. You also get full admin access, to install your own software, scripts and settings, even your own wallpaper. It’s your trading computer in the cloud. Prefer Linux? Ubuntu works too.
You can connect your prop firm through Tradovate or Rithmic: Apex, Lucid, Tradeify, My Funded Futures, and many more. Trade CME futures, like the minis, ES and NQ, or micros like MNQ and MGC, and many more. Plus equities like NVIDIA and Micron, options on Tesla, and currency pairs like USD/JPY.
Optimize your execution, and give yourself an edge over other traders. Not sure which plan you need? Our team can help you get set up, or use our configurator to find your best fit. QuantVPS. Your trading computer in the cloud. Use the on-screen guide to get started right now, and be ready to trade within 10 minutes. Trading involves risk. Full terms at QuantVPS.com/legal.

Here’s how to run your own AI agent on QuantVPS: Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw and more.
First, pick a plan. VPS Lite, with four cores and eight gigabytes of memory, suits most agents.
Then open your VPS: over SSH from any terminal, or with Remote Desktop on a Windows plan.
Install your agent with one line: Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw or OpenCode. Paste it in, press Enter, and it’s installed.
Next, sign in with your Claude or ChatGPT plan, or connect a model with an API key.
Keep it running 24/7, in tmux or as a service, so it keeps working when you close your laptop.
Then reach it from anywhere: from your phone, in Telegram, Slack or Discord, or in the Claude app.

Plan guide · · Captions in 13 languages
QuantVPS has two plan lines, Standard and Performance, each with a Dedicated tier. Standard and Performance are both great for low-latency trading, with the same infrastructure and 24/7 support.
The difference is inside. Standard runs on AMD EPYC processors, with DDR4 memory: many cores, great value. Performance runs on the latest AMD Ryzen processors, with DDR5, boosting up to 5.7 gigahertz.
And that matters, because most trading platforms rely on single-core performance. On PassMark single-thread scores, Performance is 85% faster than Standard.
So Standard is a great fit for mid-frequency and higher-interval strategies. But for the best performance, choose Performance. A faster core keeps your charts and DOM responsive at busy times, like the market open. It's built for tick and Renko charts, order flow, and many strategies and prop accounts at once.
Like a Pro+ running three strategies on five prop accounts: fifteen at once, with smooth charts, even in high volatility. Performance also gets more network throughput: three gigabits per second and up, versus one on Standard. Plus automatic off-site backups on every VPS plan. Here's what traders say.
Need the whole machine? Each line has a Dedicated tier at the top: a whole server that's all yours. Standard goes up to Dedicated, and Performance to Dedicated+, for 10+ charts and 20+ prop accounts.
Standard for value. Performance for speed. Dedicated for scale. Both lines run in our datacenters close to the markets, from Chicago to Tokyo. Not sure which? Answer a few questions in our configurator, and find your plan.

How does a dedicated server compare to a regular VPS plan from QuantVPS? They’re similar: both are a trading computer in the cloud, running Windows or Linux.
The difference? A VPS runs on shared infrastructure: traders share one powerful server, and each gets a slice. Your slice is reserved, so its cores and memory stay yours, even when the market moves.
A dedicated server is the next level: the whole machine, all yours, with no hypervisor in between. Every core, all the memory and all the NVMe storage, on ultra-fast AMD Ryzen processors.
On reference CPU benchmarks, Dedicated+ scores higher than every VPS plan.
It’s built for heavy, multi-platform, latency-critical workloads. And it’s ideal for extensive backtesting and strategy optimization.
It’s isolated by hardware and locked down, with always-on DDoS filtering, a dedicated IP, and advanced cybersecurity measures.
Getting started is easy. Pick a dedicated plan and the location closest to your exchange, and we’ll set it up for you. It can even come with your trading platform pre-installed, chosen at checkout.
