For some reason I'm not able to see that information in hetzner.com. Can you please give me a direct link ?
Does anyone have any experience with this fairly cheap (starting at $40/mo) Windows VPS provider based in Aurora? https://www.tradingfxvps.com/cme-aurora-vps-futures-hosting/
A bit old post but worth to look https://fxgears.com/index.php?threads/virtual-private-servers-vps.1211/#post-19198
What specifications and location do you need? QuantVPS.com mid-tier plan can support 8 metatrader terminals. I often run 8-12.
From our experience and tens of thousands of current customers, everyone ends up switching to www.ninjamobiletrader.com because they had lag, freezes, crashes, and disconnections with other VPS they tried. We also support and provide help with local network trade copying to multiple accounts.
That’s a great question. While Hetzner has built a strong reputation for low prices and raw performance, it’s important to understand that they are not a suitable option for serious CME futures trading — primarily due to location and lack of support. Currently, Hetzner’s U.S. datacenters are located in Ashburn, Virginia, and Hillsboro, Oregon. They do not offer any datacenter presence in or around Chicago, which is a non-negotiable requirement for trading CME futures efficiently. The reason is simple: latency. The CME Group’s order matching engine is physically located in Chicago, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. When you trade futures, your orders need to reach that engine as fast as possible — often in sub-millisecond speeds — to stay competitive. Hosting from Virginia or Oregon introduces 100-200ms of latency, which puts you at a massive disadvantage compared to traders colocated in Chicago. On top of that, it’s worth noting that Hetzner provides entirely unmanaged servers. You are 100% responsible for setting up, configuring, maintaining, and securing your own environment. There is no hands-on support, and if anything goes wrong — hardware failure, connectivity issue, OS problem — you’re on your own to resolve it. This can be risky and time-consuming, especially for traders who just want to focus on executing their strategies. By contrast, QuantVPS is built from the ground up for futures traders. Our servers are located inside the same datacenter used by CME in Chicago, Illinois, offering the lowest possible latency to the exchange. But beyond proximity, we offer full support, pre-configured trading environments, and assistance with things like platform setup, backups, and even trade copier tools. Our clients include algo traders, retail prop traders, and institutional desks who need ultra-reliable execution and technical peace of mind. If you’re planning to run automated strategies, we recently published a step-by-step guide on building automated futures trading workflows. And if you’re managing prop firm accounts or trading across multiple logins, this article on futures copy trading covers how to scale your trading with near-zero latency duplication. To summarize: Hetzner: Great for general-purpose hosting if you’re technically inclined and don’t need support. But not suitable for latency-sensitive CME trading due to location and unmanaged infrastructure. QuantVPS: Purpose-built for CME traders. Co-located in Chicago, fully supported, and tuned for low-latency trading environments. If you’re trading anything that clears through CME, proximity isn’t a luxury — it’s a requirement.
