MT4 & MT5 Dedicated Server Hosting with a Fixed IP
Most MetaTrader accounts run fine on shared, highly available infrastructure. But some traders need more: a permanent IP address they can whitelist with a prop firm, the lowest possible latency to their broker, or a machine that is theirs alone. That is what private hosting gives you: a dedicated server for your MT4 and MT5 accounts, with a fixed public IP, in a region next to your broker.
Think of it as a managed alternative to a forex VPS. You do not install MetaTrader, patch an operating system, or babysit a Windows box. You get one server, one IP, and the full FxSocket REST API and WebSocket for every account on it.
Why run MT4/MT5 on a dedicated server?
Shared infrastructure is the right default for most strategies. A dedicated server earns its place when you have one of these requirements:
- A fixed, whitelistable IP. Many brokers and prop firms let you approve a single IP address. A dedicated server gives you one that is yours alone, kept through every reboot, resize, and rebuild, so you whitelist it once and forget about it.
- Lower latency to your broker.Latency is distance. Every millisecond between your terminal and your broker's matching engine matters for scalping, news trading, and arbitrage. Sitting in the same region shortens the round trip.
- Isolation.Your accounts run on their own machine, never shared with another trader. No noisy neighbours, no fighting for CPU, and nobody else's flags on your IP.
One server, all your accounts
A private server is not one machine per account. It is a single dedicated server that hosts as many MT4 and MT5 accounts as you buy, all behind the same fixed IP. You size it to what you run today, then add, remove, or resize accounts any time from the dashboard.
- Reserved public IPv4: one permanent address to whitelist with your broker or prop firm.
- Region of your choice: Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, New York, Toronto, San Francisco, Singapore, Sydney, or Bangalore. Pick the one closest to your broker.
- The full API, privately: account data, market data, order execution, and live WebSocket streaming, all on your own server.
- Same simple auth: your
fxs_live_…API key, sent as anX-API-Keyheader, exactly like the shared API.
It does not touch your plan
Private hosting is completely standalone. A private server does not consume a seat on your subscription, and you do not even need a paid plan to use it. Anyone can spin one up, and it is billed entirely on its own.
Simple, honest pricing
One server, priced by the accounts on it: €17 per month for the first account and €14 per month for each additional account. So a three-account server is €45 per month, and a five-account server is €73 per month.
- Pay by card or crypto. Card renews monthly and can be cancelled any time (it runs to the end of the period you paid for). Crypto is prepaid, with no recurring charge.
- Scale up or down. Change the account count whenever your roster changes, and the server resizes to match while keeping the same IP.
- Independent of your plan. It never uses an account seat, and no paid plan is required.
How to get started
From your dashboard, open the Private Hosting section and follow a few short steps:
- 1. Pick a region and account count. Choose the datacenter nearest your broker and how many accounts the server should hold.
- 2. Pay by card or crypto. €17 for the first account and €14 for each additional. Card renews monthly; crypto is prepaid.
- 3. Go live. Your dedicated server and its fixed IP are provisioned in 5 to 10 minutes. Whitelist the IP with your broker or prop firm, then start trading.
Each account on the server is reachable at its own path on your server's IP. Calling it looks exactly like the shared API, just pointed at your own address:
import requests
API_KEY = "fxs_live_..."
# Your server's fixed IP and the account's id, both shown in the dashboard
BASE = "https://203.0.113.42/8f2a1c04"
# Read the account summary from your own private server
res = requests.get(
f"{BASE}/AccountSummary",
headers={"X-API-Key": API_KEY},
verify=False, # self-signed cert on your dedicated IP
)
print(res.json())Who it is for
- Prop firm and funded traders who must trade from a single whitelisted IP address.
- Latency-sensitive strategies: scalpers, news traders, and arbitrage bots that benefit from sitting in the broker's region.
- Anyone who wants isolation: a private machine dedicated to their own accounts.
Give your accounts a server of their own
Spin up a dedicated MT4/MT5 server with a fixed IP, in a region near your broker. From €17/mo, card or crypto, and it is up in minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Does the fixed IP ever change?
No. Your server keeps a reserved public IP that stays assigned through reboots, resizes, and rebuilds. Whitelist it once with your broker or prop firm and it stays yours until you cancel.
Does it work with both MT4 and MT5?
Yes. Any broker that supports MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 works, and you can mix MT4 and MT5 accounts on the same server.
How is private hosting priced?
One server, priced by the accounts on it: €17 per month for the first account and €14 per month for each additional account. Pay by card (renews monthly, cancel any time) or prepay with crypto.
Does a private server use one of my plan's account seats?
No. Private hosting is billed separately and never consumes a seat on your subscription. You do not even need a paid plan to use it.
Which regions can I choose?
Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, New York, Toronto, San Francisco, Singapore, Sydney, and Bangalore. Pick the region closest to your broker's servers for the lowest latency.
How fast is setup?
Your dedicated server and its fixed IP are usually ready 5 to 10 minutes after payment. Add, remove, or resize accounts from the dashboard any time.
Can I whitelist the IP with my prop firm?
Yes. That is the main reason funded traders use it: you get one permanent address to whitelist, so your challenge and verification stay stable.
