We've got a new update. We now offer our own Web Console. Open the console and type ssh root@your-server-ip to reach any server you own, right from your browser. No SSH app needed.
A bot needs a server that stays up and sits close to the exchange it talks to. The right location is a number you can measure in a few minutes before you commit, so this page shows how, and what size to start with. It is not financial advice and promises no returns.
Prices are one-month prices, so you can test a location cheaply. A 12-month term takes 50% off.

Our cheapest size. Fine for a single strategy that reads prices and places orders.

Room for multiple strategies, PostgreSQL or Redis, and logs.
Configure and orderOrder a one-month server in the country you think is closest, run these against your exchange's API host, and compare with a second location. Replace the host with the one your exchange documents.

If your strategy needs microseconds, you need co-location, which a VPS is not. For most retail bots, tens of milliseconds are fine and reliability matters more.

If the bot has to run all day, yes. A laptop sleeps, loses Wi-Fi and restarts. A VPS stays on, has a fixed IP you can allow-list and can be placed near the exchange.
The one with the lowest, steadiest latency to your exchange's API. That is something you measure, not something we can tell you for every exchange. The measurement steps are above, and a one-month server lets you test cheaply.
Most bots run on 1 to 2 vCPU and 2 to 4 GB of RAM. Our cheapest VPS is 1 vCPU, 2 GB and 40 GB NVMe for $5.76 a month.
No. High-frequency strategies need co-location and specialised hardware. A VPS is for ordinary automated strategies where tens of milliseconds are acceptable.
Yes. Generate a login and pay in Bitcoin, Monero, USDT or another supported coin, with no name, ID or phone. See pay with crypto.
No. This page is about servers. We make no claims about trading results, and automated trading can lose money.
No ID, no card. Pay in crypto, measure, then decide.
