VPS bug

 

I'm encountering an issue where the VPS button is greyed out, and I'm unable to purchase a VPS. I am logged into my MQL5 community account, and my broker supports the MetaTrader 5 VPS service. I’ve tried multiple brokers and accounts, but the issue persists. I’ve also ensured that my MT5 platform is up to date.

Here’s the error message I'm receiving:

2024.10.18 03:18:33.928 Virtual Hosting failed to get list of virtual hosts [404]

Steps I've taken so far:

  1. Confirmed that I'm logged into the MQL5 community.
  2. Checked that my broker supports MQL5 VPS.
  3. Tried different brokers and accounts.
  4. Rebooted and ensured my internet connection is stable.
  5. Unistall and Reinstall MT5

Could you please help me resolve this issue?

I discovered recently that the VPS from MQL5 is different from the VPS provided by my broker, even if my broker supports MQL5.... there is a great simplicity to the VPS provided directly by the MQL5 web-page...however, in my broker to use their VPS you have to do it via remote desktop... I would suggest to check with your broker how to activate the VPS.

This is not relevant, as i said before, i tried with many brokers. I just can't buy a vps, even with mql5 demo server.

I don't use MQL5 VPS services, but today I did notice that 404 error message in my journal log.

So, after reading your post again, I decided to check this in more detail for each of the brokers I use.

I can confirm that for each case, two different brokers and one prop-firm, the VPS services were not available (greyed out), and the same error 404 message was reported in the Journal.

I can only concluded that it may be a generalised situation or maybe one only affecting Europe, since we are both in Europe.

Let's hope that MetaQuotes is aware of this and is in the process of solving it.
