Volcrest pinned 8 EA accounts onto LD4 with one Terraform plan.
0.6ms broker hop
For traders
A VPS that the wire engineers, not the marketing team, designed.
Equinix LD4 / NY4 / TY3 cages, pinned cores, MT4/MT5/cTrader pre-installed, and the cleanest broker-side routes you can buy.
Latency-tuned
Three things that make HostEngine the boring choice for traders.
No retail-grade shared hosts. No "low latency" PoPs that are actually 9ms across town. We share rack space with the brokers themselves.
Equinix LD4 / NY4 / TY3 PoPs
On-net cages in the same buildings as your broker. The wire is short — sub-1ms is real, not aspirational.
Tuned Windows & Linux images
MT4, MT5 and cTrader pre-installed with timer coalescence off, CPUs pinned, and the registry cleaned up.
Atomic profile cloning
Clone an EA-and-symbol setup across 8 accounts with one command. Hot-restart in <2 seconds, no orphan tickets.

Talk to us-
Do you support all major brokers?
We test against the 50 largest brokers monthly. If yours isn't listed below, send us the broker hostname and we'll show you the routes from each PoP within an hour.
-
Windows or Linux?
Both. Windows Server 2022/2025 is the default for MT4/MT5; Linux is available for cTrader, ZeroMQ feeds and custom strategies. Switch any time without losing your IP.
-
Can I run multiple terminals?
Yes. Our Pro plans give you pinned CPU cores per terminal so you can run 4–8 EAs without any of them stealing scheduler time from the others.
-
What if my VPS reboots during a trade?
We promise hardware-level five-9s on the Forex tier and provide automatic broker reconnect with idempotent ticket recovery for MT4/MT5.
