NY2 · LD3 · AMS · HK4
Strong value for a forex-specific host, with backups, a Windows Server licence and round-the-clock expert support bundled in rather than charged as add-ons, from single-digit-millisecond Equinix locations.
Smaller location network, SSD (not NVMe) on higher tiers, and an ambiguous uptime guarantee.

NY4 · LD4 · CH-Aurora · TY3 · SG1 · HK · FR2 · AMS
The newest AMD Ryzen 9 hardware and the lowest advertised latency in the category, at a budget price.

CH-Aurora · NY4 · LD4 · AMS · FR2 · TY3
The strongest uptime claim and genuine direct-fiber cross-connect latency of any provider here.
Priciest entry with no free trial, and futures-first, so its headline latency is to the CME, not a forex broker.

NY4 · LD4 · TY3 · SG1 · HK1 · DUB1
Colocation value in the major broker hubs, with US jurisdiction and MetaTrader pre-installed at checkout.
2 GB entry plan, no cross-connects, and a trading-hours-only uptime claim that reads as marketing rather than measured.

NY4 · LD4 · TY3 · FR2 · HK · SG
Genuinely institutional-grade infrastructure with real cross-connects and LSE-listed corporate transparency.

London · Denver · New York
The cheapest twelve-month cost in the comparison at $95.88 a year, with the broadest footprint (15 locations) and 24/7 support across email, ticket, live chat and telephone.
Entry tier is only 1.5 GB on Windows Server 2019, SSD rather than NVMe, and a third simultaneous Remote Desktop session costs $40/month (Denver only).
