Switch Markets review: Broker offers free VPS to power automated trading
Broker Switch Markets is offering traders free access to a professional virtual private server (VPS), removing one of the main financial barriers for users who rely on algorithmic strategies. The program, created in partnership with industry-leading hosting provider ForexVPS, requires no minimum trading volume — a rare incentive in the retail forex and CFD sector.
- Chosen by 3 200+ local traders in the last 3 months.
- Traders earn on average 12% more per month vs other brokers.
The offer becomes available once a trader’s live account is approved and funded, after which clients can request VPS activation through live chat or email. Switch Markets says the initiative is designed to provide traders of all experience levels with fast, stable, and uninterrupted connectivity for Expert Advisors (EAs) and automated systems.
A high-performance VPS optimised for trading
According to the company, the free VPS package includes:
- 2 CPU cores
- 4GB RAM
- 100GB SSD storage
- Windows Server 2016, 2019, or 2022
- MT4 pre-installed
- Full setup support
The VPS is hosted in Equinix data centers — facilities widely recognized as global connectivity hubs for financial markets. This infrastructure allows trade execution as fast as 1 millisecond, a critical factor for traders relying on scalping strategies, latency-sensitive bots, or high-frequency signals.
ForexVPS’ global server locations include New York, London, Singapore, Tokyo, Zurich, Amsterdam, Chicago, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, Johannesburg, and Los Angeles. Users can select the most suitable data center to minimise latency relative to their trading server.
For traders already using a ForexVPS subscription, Switch Markets offers seamless migration “with zero downtime” under the broker’s partnership arrangement.
Enhancing reliability for automated traders
Switch Markets highlights that VPS hosting reduces risks associated with trading from personal devices — including internet outages, hardware failures, and unexpected shutdowns. For many automated traders, consistent VPS uptime is essential to maintaining the accuracy and reliability of trading strategies.
The offer strengthens Switch Markets’ broader push to support algo-driven trading, combining fast execution, server stability, and ready-to-use terminal installation.
