Notes

The official MetaQuotes VPS. Sold inside the terminal, priced ~$12.80-15/mo, and its headline feature is automatic selection of the datacenter closest to the broker's server. Best latency-per-dollar for pure MT4/MT5 EA hosting, but it is a locked-down virtual terminal, not a general Windows VPS.
