When signing up for a broker sponsored VPS your service will be free for as long as you trade the required volume. For example if your broker requires 15 lots for a free VPS you must trade 15 lots each and every month or it's possible that your broker will cancel your free VPS service. In the event that your broker cancels your sponsored VPS status we will send you an email notification.

To recieve a free VPS from your broker you must trade a specific number of volume/lots each month. NYCServers have created a free indicator that helps you track your trading volume each month.  The indicator will show you how many lots are required in order to keep your VPS free, and how many you have currently traded.

There are two different ways to upgrade your broker sponsored VPS plan: Option 1: You may contact your broker's support team to request the upgrade. They will review your trading volume and determine if you qualify for a free upgrade. If they accept your upgrade request then your upgrade will be completely free and you will not need to pay for anything. Option 2: If your broker denies your upgrade request it is still possible to upgrade your VPS by paying to cost difference.
