For cVirtual and cMetal, you can choose Windows or Linux.
Most traders should start with cVirtual for cost-effective hosting and upgrade to cMetal when they need single-tenant performance and more deterministic execution.
Latency depends on broker/exchange routing and network conditions. We position deployments in key metros and you should validate your specific endpoints.
In the USA (e.g., Chicago), unmetered bandwidth is available. Other regions may include a TB allocation with upgrade options.
Yes, use sBlock for attached volumes and sObject for S3-compatible retention (backups, logs, history).
cMetal supports private networking within the same data center (ideal for connecting systems locally in one facility).
Yes, start with cVirtual (entry level) and move to cMetal as your needs grow, keeping the same market location strategy.
Start in Chicago from $19.95/month on cVirtual, or choose dedicated cMetal in your preferred trading hub.
