Frequently asked

Which tier do you recommend?+

Medium at minimum for the best experience. Small is designed for headless automation without charts — if you're running NT8 with no chart windows open and just need the XT Add-On connected, it works fine. Anything with charts should be Medium or above.

How long does provisioning take?+

Typically 10–20 minutes. You'll receive an email with your RDP login details once the server is ready. Worst case is under an hour.

Can I upgrade my plan?+

Yes, upgrades are available at any time. Downgrades are not possible once resources have been allocated and disk size expanded.

Is this pricing permanent?+

Yes. Your monthly rate will not increase as long as you maintain the subscription.

Can I install my own software?+

Yes. You have full administrative access. Install anything you need as long as it complies with the terms of service.

From our Discord

"VPS speed is 5 times faster than my fiber connection. That's awesome!"

"I'm on the small VPS running 2 charts with 2 strategies on 2 instruments with 3 indicators — about 60% max memory usage and 15% cpu. Very impressed."
