Speedy Trading Servers

Quick Facts

Infrastructure and Datacenter Locations

The dual-region footprint is Speedy Trading Servers’ main differentiator. Most specialized trading VPS vendors run from Chicago only (TraderVPS) or Chicago plus a token EU/NY presence (QuantVPS, TradoxVPS); Speedy operates a fully provisioned New Jersey build alongside the Chicago datacenter, with documented per-venue latency figures rather than vague “low-latency” copy. For a trader running both CME futures (ES, NQ) and NYSE/Nasdaq-listed equities or US-equity options, getting both regions from a single vendor with a single billing account is genuinely useful.

The 1 ms claim to CME from Chicago is in the same tier as competitors’ 0.52-0.82 ms claims, though slightly slower. Network capacity is 1 Gb/s per VM with no burst capability advertised, which is meaningfully lower than the 3-10 Gb/s burst figures published by QuantVPS, TradoxVPS, and TraderVPS. For most discretionary traders this will not matter; for traders moving large amounts of market-data over the connection (multiple Bookmap sessions, full-depth Level 2, multi-instrument tick replay), it could.

Overview

Speedy Trading Servers is a specialized trading VPS vendor designed by Algordien and operating since 2011, making it among the longest-running brands in this comparison. The company has a fundamentally different positioning from the modern specialized-trading VPS pack: rather than competing on glossy marketing or aggressive promotional discounting, it presents as a no-frills technical-trader VPS with pre-installed software, dual-region coverage, multi-currency pricing, and a strict trading-only acceptable use policy. The website itself is dated in design and the marketing copy reads as written by traders for traders rather than by a marketing agency.

The typical Speedy Trading Servers customer is an automated trader, algorithmic trader, or active discretionary trader who needs reliable 24/7 server uptime, who already knows what specs they need, and who values a fast setup-to-trade path. The pre-installed NinjaTrader and Interactive Brokers TWS configuration shortens onboarding meaningfully — the customer enters a license key, configures their data feed, and is trading. International traders are explicitly served via USD, EUR, GBP, and AUD pricing options, which is unusual in the segment.

The product limitation is hardware. The Medium VPS at $60/month starts at 1 vCPU Intel Xeon core, 1.5 GB RAM, 50 GB SSD — specs that look generationally behind QuantVPS’s $59.99 plan (4 cores, 8 GB RAM, NVMe) or TradoxVPS’s $39 plan (2 cores Ryzen 9950X, 6 GB DDR5, NVMe). Even the top Mega VPS at $160/month tops out at 4 Xeon cores and 8 GB RAM with 50 GB SSD, which is well below comparably-priced competitors. Speedy is selling network proximity and dual-region access at a premium per-spec rate, not raw compute capacity. Buyers should confirm whether their target use case (NinjaTrader strategy, simple automated bot, multi-platform setup) genuinely needs more than what Speedy’s mid-tier plans offer before paying the per-spec premium versus competitors.

Supported Trading Platforms

Key Features

Latency and Connectivity

Documented latency: 1 ms to CME from Chicago, 1.10 ms to FXCM and 2.30 ms to Interactive Brokers (Connecticut) from New Jersey. The per-venue specificity is unusual and useful for evaluating against your actual broker. Network capacity is 1 Gb/s without burst, which is below modern competitors. Rating: Advanced.

Hardware

Intel Xeon CPUs across the lineup are an older architectural generation than the AMD EPYC (QuantVPS, TraderVPS) or AMD Ryzen 9950X (TradoxVPS) used by competitors. RAM tops out at 8 GB on the highest shared tier; storage capped at 50 GB SSD on every shared plan. For workloads that fit within 4 cores / 8 GB / 50 GB, this is fine; outside that envelope you need a dedicated server quote. Rating: Basic.

Uptime and Reliability

The vendor markets itself as a high-performance reliable hosting provider but does not publish a specific uptime SLA percentage on the visible public pages. Operating since 2011 is itself a reliability signal. Rating: Standard.

Setup Experience

Pre-installed NinjaTrader and Interactive Brokers TWS make this the fastest setup-to-trade path in this comparison set: the customer receives RDP credentials, logs in, enters license keys, configures data feed, and is trading. For traders who use NinjaTrader or IB TWS, this can save 30-60 minutes of first-time setup. Rating: Professional.

Support

Support center is gated behind customer login; public pages reference email, Skype, and phone number provided after signup. Response times are not advertised. The strict trading-only AUP suggests the support team is small and focused. Rating: Standard.

Security

Standard Windows Server VPS security; specifics on DDoS protection, backups, and 2FA are not prominently published on the public pages. The trading-only AUP indirectly improves the security posture by excluding the noisy traffic patterns associated with general-purpose hosting. Rating: Standard.

Pricing

Additional cost notes:

• Multi-currency billing: USD, EUR, GBP, AUD pricing options.
• Free demo / trial available before subscribing.
• Strict trading-only acceptable use policy: no web servers, game servers, or other non-trading workloads permitted.
• No public annual-discount or promotional pricing visible on the pricing page.

Prop Firm Compatibility

Speedy Trading Servers does not name specific prop firms on its public pages. Technical compatibility is fine: any prop firm using NinjaTrader, Interactive Brokers, Rithmic, CQG, or MetaTrader will work on a Speedy VPS without special accommodation. The dual-region (Chicago + NJ) coverage is useful for prop firms that operate evaluation accounts on US futures (CME) but require traders to also handle US-equity trading from a New Jersey-routed venue. As always, confirm any firm-specific rules around dedicated IP requirements or shared-infrastructure restrictions with the prop firm directly before committing.

Pros

• Both Chicago and New Jersey datacenter coverage in one vendor
• Pre-installed NinjaTrader and Interactive Brokers TWS — fastest setup-to-trade in this comparison
• Documented per-venue latency: 1ms to CME, 1.10ms to FXCM, 2.30ms to IB
• Multi-currency pricing (USD, EUR, GBP, AUD)
• Operating since 2011 — among the longest-running specialized trading VPS providers
• Free demo / trial available
• Strict trading-only acceptable use policy

Cons

• Lowest-priced tier severely under-specced (1 vCPU, 1.5 GB RAM, Xeon)
• Storage capped at 50 GB SSD on every shared plan
• Network capacity 1 Gb/s with no burst advertised
• Website dated and lacks company-specifics transparency
• Support details opaque on public pages
• No public Trustpilot or independent review presence

Who Is This VPS For?

Speedy Trading Servers is the right choice for traders who specifically need both Chicago and New Jersey datacenter coverage, who run NinjaTrader and/or Interactive Brokers TWS as their primary tools, and who value the pre-installed convenience and multi-currency pricing for international billing. It fits traders who treat their VPS as a stable utility rather than a feature-rich product. It is not the right choice for traders who need newer-generation hardware (AMD EPYC or Ryzen 9950X), larger SSD/NVMe storage, or transparent SLA terms and third-party review signals.

Verdict

Speedy Trading Servers is a niche but credible option for traders whose specific need is dual-region (Chicago + NJ) US datacenter coverage with pre-installed platforms and multi-currency billing. The 14+ year operating history and trading-only AUP signal a mature, stable operation. The tradeoffs are dated hardware (Intel Xeon, capped 8 GB RAM, 50 GB SSD), thin public transparency, and per-spec pricing that runs higher than newer competitors. Recommended for the specific use case of multi-region US equities-and-futures trading where the pre-installed NinjaTrader + IB TWS combo saves real setup time. For most other use cases, QuantVPS, TradoxVPS, or Cloudzy will offer better hardware-per-dollar.
