MT4 VPS Hosting

What an MT4 VPS from WebJi includes

An MT4 VPS is a Windows Server with the terminal installed on it, reached over Remote Desktop from any laptop or phone. The server holds the session, so the trading platform does not depend on your PC staying awake.

• Windows Server — the image MT4 expects, with Administrator rights to install broker builds and DLLs.
• Dedicated vCPU and RAM — assigned to your server, not shared on demand.
• NVMe storage — fast terminal start, backtests and log writes.
• Static IPv4 — one address that survives reboots, with rDNS available for broker verification.
• 24/7 email support — Hindi and English, average first reply under 60 minutes.

This is the MetaTrader-specific build; the trading VPS in India page covers the wider category if you also run cTrader, TradingView alerts or broker APIs.

Why MT4 runs on Windows and not Linux

MetaTrader 4 is a 32-bit Windows application, so the terminal belongs on Windows Server. Linux runs it only through Wine, and many EAs, broker DLLs and custom indicators fail there — the terminal starts, then the strategy does not.

MT5 is 64-bit and also Windows-first. If your EA loads a DLL, match its bitness to the terminal your broker ships, and test the pair on a demo account before it touches a live one.

Low-latency placement: choose the VPS nearest your broker

Latency is the distance between your terminal and the broker's trade server, not between you and the VPS. Placing the server near the broker removes the long hop; a faster CPU cannot.

Open the MT4 login dialog and read the server name, something like Broker-Live01. Ask the broker where that server is hosted, then request placement on the same network region. From the VPS, ping the trade server and watch jitter as well as the average figure, because a steady 20 ms beats a 5 ms average that spikes to 80.

Not every broker publishes its data centre. When it does not, run two candidate regions on demo for a week and keep the one with the lower jitter. WebJi's facilities are listed on the data centre page.

Static IP, broker login and RDP security on an MT4 VPS

A static IPv4 matters twice: some brokers whitelist the address for algo or API access, and an rDNS record helps with verification. WebJi assigns one address per server, and it does not change on reboot or renewal.

• RDP — long unique password, a non-default port, and firewall rules limited to your own IP range where possible.
• Terminal — one account per terminal, and never the investor password on a shared box.
• Broker — register the VPS IP with the broker before you enable API or algo access.
• Access — remove RDP users who no longer trade; an old login is the commonest way a trading server is lost.

Uptime: keeping the MT4 terminal alive on a VPS

The terminal keeps running when RDP disconnects, so closing the laptop does not stop an EA. What stops it is a reboot, a Windows update, or a terminal that was never set to start with the server.

Set Windows Update to install outside market hours, put the terminal in the startup folder with AutoTrading enabled, and check the connection status in its status bar each morning. WebJi publishes a 99.9% uptime target, and the public status page carries the cluster history.

How much RAM one MT4 terminal needs

One terminal with two or three charts runs comfortably on 4 GB, two to three terminals need 8 GB, and a portfolio with frequent backtests wants 16 GB. Chart count and history depth matter more than the number of EAs.

Sizing guidance rather than a fixed plan grid; the quote confirms the final spec for your broker and terminal count.

MT4 and MT5 can share one Windows VPS. Two terminals at 2 GB each still leave room inside an 8 GB server, and they can auto-start together on boot.

What an MT4 VPS costs in India

WebJi quotes each trading VPS in INR before payment, with 18% GST on the invoice. The price covers the Windows server, the static IP and support. The MT4 or MT5 terminal itself is a free download from your broker, and WebJi charges no platform licence fee.

Windows licensing sits inside the same quote rather than arriving as a later add-on. A Windows VPS without trading placement costs less if you only need the desktop.

How to set up MT4 on a VPS

1. Email support@webji.services with the broker, trade server name, terminal count, EAs and the region you want.
2. The desk confirms placement, RAM and CPU, the Windows version and the INR figure including GST.
3. Connect over RDP with the credentials issued for the server.
4. Download MT4 from your broker's own site, then log in with the account number, password and server name.
5. Enable AutoTrading, attach the EA, run it on demo for a session, then add the terminal to startup.

Moving an existing setup? Copy the terminal data folder — experts, profiles and configs — and the desk can handle the migration free, subject to terms and approval. Reach the team through the contact page or support@webji.services.
