What is MT5 VPS hosting?
MT5 VPS hosting is a Windows server that keeps the MetaTrader 5 terminal and its Expert Advisors running around the clock while your own PC is off. At WebJi® it is a Windows cloud server you administer: you connect by Remote Desktop and install MetaTrader 5 from your broker yourself. There is no preinstalled MT5 image.
This is different from the virtual hosting sold inside the MetaTrader platform, which runs a copy of your terminal on MetaQuotes’ servers. A server of your own lets you run several terminals, other Windows software and your own monitoring on one machine. The wider range is Windows VPS; forex use in general is covered on forex VPS in India.
MT5 vs MT4 on a VPS: what changes for the server
MT5 is a 64-bit terminal with its own MQL5 language and a multi-threaded Strategy Tester, so it uses more cores and memory than MT4 and cannot run MT4 Expert Advisors. Those differences decide the server size more than the number of charts.
| Attribute | MetaTrader 5 | MetaTrader 4 |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal build | 64-bit only | 32-bit |
| Robot language and files | MQL5 (.mq5 / .ex5) | MQL4 (.mq4 / .ex4) |
| Strategy Tester | Multi-threaded; one test agent per CPU core | Single-threaded |
| Markets | Forex plus exchange instruments where the broker offers them | Mainly forex and CFDs |
| Position accounting | Netting or hedging, set by the broker account | Hedging |
If your robots are still MQL4, see MT4 VPS hosting; an .ex4 file has to be rewritten in MQL5 before MT5 can run it.
How much does MT5 VPS hosting cost at WebJi®?
An MT5 server at WebJi® starts with Cloud Entry at ₹5,900 a month before 18% GST, for 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM and 100 GB on Windows Server 2019, 2022 or 2025. Paid monthly for a year, Cloud Entry totals ₹70,800 before GST (₹5,900 × 12). There is no separate cheaper MT5 plan.
| Configuration | Specs | Price (₹/mo) | Order |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud Entry | 2 vCPU · 8 GB RAM · 100 GB · Windows Server 2019, 2022 or 2025 | 5,900 | Order Now → |
| Cloud Business | 4 vCPU · 16 GB RAM · 250 GB · Windows Server 2019, 2022 or 2025 | 7,900 | Order Now → |
| Cloud Pro | 8 vCPU · 32 GB RAM · 500 GB · Windows Server 2019, 2022 or 2025 | 11,900 | Order Now → |
These are WebJi®’s published cloud-server configurations, not a measured-latency or static-IP product. Plesk is an addon. A layout outside these rows is quoted at support@webji.services before you pay; invoices are in INR with 18% GST.
Which cloud server size fits your MT5 workload?
Size an MT5 server by what runs at the same time: live terminals need memory, while Strategy Tester optimisation needs CPU cores. Start with one terminal, watch Task Manager for a week, then move up a row if the terminal is short of resources.
| Your MT5 workload | Suggested start | Why |
|---|---|---|
| One live account with a few EAs | Cloud Entry | One 64-bit terminal fits comfortably in 8 GB |
| Several accounts or brokers, each in its own terminal | Cloud Business | Every terminal is a separate process with its own memory |
| Live trading plus regular EA optimisation runs | Cloud Pro | The tester starts one agent per core, so 8 vCPU finish runs sooner |
These are starting points from the published specs, not a promise of how many Expert Advisors fit; EA design matters more than count.
How to set up MetaTrader 5 on a WebJi® Windows server
Setting up MT5 takes about six steps: order, connect by Remote Desktop, install your broker’s MT5, log in, attach the EAs and make the terminal start by itself. The full click-path with screenshots is in the MT4 and MT5 VPS setup guide.
- Order a cloud configuration and pick Windows Server 2019, 2022 or 2025; the welcome email carries the Remote Desktop login.
- Connect with Remote Desktop and change the administrator password.
- Download MetaTrader 5 from your broker’s site, so the right trade servers are preloaded.
- For a second account, install into a separate folder and start that copy with the
/portableswitch so their data stays apart. - Log in to each trading account, enable Algo Trading and attach your Expert Advisors.
- Disconnect Remote Desktop instead of logging off, so the terminal keeps running.
Keeping MT5 running: restarts, updates and monitoring
The commonest reason an MT5 robot stops on a VPS is an unattended Windows restart, so plan for reboots before they happen. A few settings make the terminal come back on its own.
- Auto-start: add a shortcut to each
terminal64.exein the Startup folder or a Task Scheduler “at log on” task. - Windows Update: set active hours around market sessions and schedule restarts for the weekend close.
- Push alerts: link the terminal to the MetaTrader app on your phone with your MetaQuotes ID so EAs can notify you.
- Fixed IP: if a broker or API whitelist needs a fixed address, ask support to confirm it before you pay; see static IP rules for algo trading.

Frequently asked questions
Can I run my MT4 Expert Advisors on an MT5 VPS?
Not directly. MT5 runs MQL5 programs only, so an MT4 .ex4 robot must be rewritten or recompiled from MQL4 source into MQL5. You can, however, install MT4 and MT5 side by side on the same Windows server and run each platform’s robots there.
How many MT5 accounts can one WebJi® server run?
As many as its memory and CPU allow, with each account in its own MT5 installation folder. A light terminal with a few charts needs far less than one running tick-heavy EAs, so test with your real setup and watch Task Manager before adding more.
Does the MT5 Strategy Tester use all the server’s vCPUs?
Yes. MT5 creates one local testing agent per logical core, so optimisation on Cloud Pro’s 8 vCPU spreads across eight agents instead of two on Cloud Entry. Heavy optimisation while live trading can slow the live terminal, so schedule it outside busy sessions.
What happens to my EA if the server restarts?
The terminal closes and open charts stop until MT5 starts again. If you set it to launch at log on and Windows signs in automatically, the terminal reopens with the last profile and EAs resume. Open positions stay with the broker throughout.
Do I pay GST on an MT5 VPS from WebJi®?
Yes. Prices are shown before 18% GST, which is added on the INR invoice. Cloud Entry at ₹5,900 a month becomes ₹6,962 with GST (₹5,900 × 1.18). Add your GSTIN at checkout to claim input credit.
