Trading servers.
Pre-loaded. Ready to trade.
High-performance Windows VPS plans for NinjaTrader 8 and the CrossTrade Add-On. Choose the server size that matches your automation workload and manage it directly from CrossTrade.
VPS subscriptions are separate from CrossTrade tools. Cancel anytime. Non-refundable. Provisioning typically under 1 hour. Nested virtualization (Hyper-V, VMware, VirtualBox, WSL2, Docker) is not supported on any plan and is not grounds for a refund.
Trading-Ready Locations
Deploy into low-latency hosting environments built for futures traders. Keep NinjaTrader running close to reliable network infrastructure instead of a home internet connection.
Transparent Monthly Pricing
Allocated resources, Windows Server, unmetered bandwidth, and no separate hosting dashboard to learn. Buy and manage the server through CrossTrade.
Full Admin Access
Your server, your rules. Install any software that complies with our terms. RDP in from desktop, tablet, or phone. Multi-monitor support on Medium and above. Nested virtualization is the one exception and is not supported on any plan.
AMD EPYC and Ryzen
EPYC and Ryzen options with DDR4 or DDR5 memory and NVMe storage across all tiers. Built to handle multiple charts, strategies, and accounts simultaneously.
24/7 Uptime
Your automation runs around the clock. Continuous monitoring, automatic backups, and DDoS protection. The server stays on even when you're not watching.
CrossTrade Support
VPS issues go through our team — not a generic hosting provider's helpdesk. Same fast support you get for the platform, extended to your server.
Medium at minimum for the best experience with charts. Small is designed for headless automation without charts. If you are running NT8 with no chart windows open and just need the NT8 Add-On connected, it works fine. Anything with charts should be Medium or above.
No. CrossTrade VPS plans are virtual servers running on shared physical hardware. You get your own Windows install, your own unique IP address, and the vCPU, RAM, and NVMe storage listed on your plan — but the underlying machine is shared with other virtual servers. That is what a VPS is. If you need an entire physical machine to yourself, a bare-metal dedicated server is a different product and these plans are not it. Because the hardware is shared, a server that runs at sustained high CPU or disk usage for extended periods may be throttled so it does not degrade performance for everyone else on the same host. Normal NinjaTrader and CrossTrade workloads are nowhere near that line.
Typically 10 to 20 minutes. You'll receive an email with your RDP login details once the server is ready. Worst case is under an hour.
Yes, upgrades are available at any time. Downgrades are not possible once resources have been allocated and disk size expanded.
Yes. Your monthly rate will not increase as long as you maintain the subscription.
Yes. You have full administrative access. Install anything you need as long as it complies with the terms of service. The one exception is virtualization software, because nested virtualization is not supported on any plan.
No. Nested virtualization is not supported on any CrossTrade VPS plan, in any form. That covers Hyper-V, VMware, VirtualBox, WSL2, Docker Desktop, Windows Sandbox, Android emulators, and anything else that needs a hypervisor running inside the server. It cannot be turned on by request, and no plan, tier, or add-on unlocks it. This limit is published before purchase, so a VPS bought to run virtual machines is not grounds for a refund.
