We have improved the MetaTrader VPS infrastructure and expanded the network of data centers

 

Over the past year, the user base of the MetaTrader platform virtual hosting has grown significantly. In this regard, we have significantly invested in the development of the entire service infrastructure and considerably expanded the network of data centers.

The new hosting point in São Paulo has become the latest addition to the points pool, supplementing those in Frankfurt, London, New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, Moscow and Amsterdam. We have deployed it in the same data center which hosts the B3 stock exchange (formerly BM&F Bovespa) and the largest Brazilian brokers. The close physical proximity to global financial centers allows traders to rent a virtual copy of the platform with the smallest ping to brokerage servers anywhere in the world.

The network of data centers

The side effect of upgrading the service is the necessity to increase VPS prices. Currently the minimum price of renting a server for 1 month starts at USD 15. At this price, traders receive up to 3 GB of RAM, up to 16 GB of disk space, several CPU cores and the minimum network latency to a broker.

The price increase is not something pleasant, but I hope it goes along with better stability and reliability for MQL5 VP servers.
 
But that is simply not plausible, because e.g. twice as many users also bring twice as much money and only require twice as many servers if they were really busy before. If the calculation worked out beforehand, which it obviously did, there is simply no need for a price increase, because that is linear. In my opinion, it's only a excuse for dramatically maximizing profits.
 
If my broker server is at Australia, I rent Vps located at Sigapore, why should I pay for the hosting point in São Paulo?

This increase of price of 50% during a global crisis when the forex market goes crazy and many traders burnt their account seems like a big joke to me. I cancelled all my 7 vps subscriptions. Good luck for finding customers who will accept a 50% increase. 

To everyone, what are the alternatives?

a 50% increase seems like a joke to me but i stopped using this service long ago as there are way to many other cheaper ways to get a vps. For a starter most brokers offer a free vps to their clients as mentioned in post #7 plus if you guys put some effort using a search engine there are many great providers out there....just set a side some time and do some research! I think this increase will not benefit MQ in the long run as users definitely will reach out for other solutions.
 
Maybe you guys improve your customer service. It takes days to get through to service desk. This is awful. 

You should have a complaints process.
