Pro Tips for Achieving 99.99% VPS Uptime

If you are running live trading strategies, every second of downtime counts. Achieving 99.99 percent uptime on your forex VPS is not luck — it is smart system design. At Algo Hosting, we build infrastructure specifically for algorithmic traders who demand reliability, performance, and peace of mind.

Use Redundant Power and Network Infrastructure

Our data centers include multiple power sources and diverse internet uplinks:

• Dual power supplies
• Battery backup and diesel generators
• Multiple fiber carriers for internet

If any one component fails, traffic reroutes automatically. That is what delivers true high availability.

Deploy Watchdog Scripts and Monitoring

Even if your VPS stays online, software can crash. Algo Hosting includes advanced automation to monitor health and restart services:

• Watchdog scripts for MetaTrader and trading bots
• Task Scheduler preconfigured to relaunch MT5
• External ping and HTTP checks with alerts

This adds an extra layer beyond the VPS itself, keeping your trading session alive even during exceptions.

Isolate Strategies Across Multiple Terminals

Avoid putting all your strategies in one MetaTrader terminal. Algo Hosting plans let you spread load across multiple terminals:

• One terminal per EA or risk profile
• If one crashes, others keep running
• Optimal vCPU pinning for better core performance

This ensures fault isolation and faster recovery.

Schedule Controlled Reboots and Updates

Random Windows updates are uptime killers. We help traders:

• Disable automatic updates
• Set manual patching windows
• Automate reboots with logging and snapshots

You stay in control. No unexpected restarts, ever.

Use a Clean Dedicated IP and Hardened Access

Security issues can cause forced shutdowns or bans. Algo Hosting ensures:

• Dedicated static IP per VPS
• Hardened RDP with Network Level Authentication
• Optional two factor authentication and IP whitelisting

Our focus on security keeps your trading platform safe and online.

Final Word

Hitting 99.99 percent forex VPS uptime is about more than picking the right specs. Algo Hosting provides a full stack solution, from hardware to watchdogs to isolation strategies.
