Many of our competitors are hosting your information out of a shared Datacenter giving the pseudo impression that they are a large established company, we in fact own and manage our Datacenter which has been around for 11+ years and counting.

How does a Forex VPS work?

July 18th, 2010 Julian No comments

Ultrahosting Forex VPS is a service that helps traders to deploy their expert advisors on a virtual server that will be running 24/7 without interruptions, independently from the trader’s own computer and without any efforts from the trader’s side. If you have a working MT4 EA, it’s always better to install it on a VPS, because when an EA is running from your home or office PC there is always a chance for some unforeseeable problems (like internet disconnects, power outages, system errors, etc.)

But how does VPS work in trading? What does VPS serve for

All three entities — trader’s PC, VPS with EAs and broker’s MT4 server — are connected to the internet. Trader has still a choice to control the VPS and upload new EAs to it and also to control and monitor its trading account with a Forex Broker. Fortunately, none of these actions require a 24/7 uptime from the trader’s PC or connection. EAs installed on VPS are sending orders to the MT4 server 100% autonomously — the actual trading requires a 24/7 uptime and it’s provided by the VPS.

The difference is seen when the VPS is used to host the expert advisors. Now trader rarely needs a connection to the VPS (only when some adjustments to the EAs should be made), while the VPS remains always connected to MT4 server and is sending trading orders directly to it:

I hope that now it will be easier for some traders to understand why it’s recommended to opt for a VPS hosting for their EAs when they can afford it.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the usage of VPS in Forex trading, please, feel free to contact us at sales@ultrahosting.com

Recent Downtime…

Incident Report

Incident Date:      July 6, 2010

Prepared By:        Service Assurance Centre

HIGH LEVEL EXPLANATION

At approximately 12:45pm on July 6, 2010 power to our data centre in Thornhill was disrupted.  Upon loss of power, we confirmed that all 3 generators had started properly.   PowerStream was alerted and dispatched a repair team.

At about 1:25 our Generator “C” overheated and shut down.   At about 1:40 our Generator “B” also overheated and shut down.    Our Generator maintenance company arrived at 1:30 and commenced diagnosis on both systems.

We were unable to restart the generators before the UPS batteries were depleted causing loss of power to the data centres.

Our telephone system is connected to both generators so was operational until the second generator failure.   Our phone system was down from approximately 2:05 to 2:35.

Generator “B” was restored at approximately 2:25pm.  Incoming  utility power was restored at approximately 2:37pm and generator “C” was repaired at 4:00pm.

Cause of the Incident:

  • A loss of power from the utility combined with overheating of two generators caused loss of power to the data centre.

Call to Action

  • Both generators have been repaired with interim fixes for additional venting to facilitate better cooling.  Interim procedures to facilitate air flow have been established.
  • A temporary generator is in transit and will be installed this evening.
  • Our generating company is reviewing all generators for ability to operate properly during periods of extreme heat.
  • We consider this a very serious incident and deeply regret the difficulties this has caused you.  Senior management are initiating a full external engineering analysis of the event and of power and cooling design and operation.  Actions from this analysis will be published upon completion.
