New Tampa VPS capacity is live. Deploy a server in minutes.
Use case

Trading bot hosting.
Always-on, never asleep.

Run your crypto, stock, or forex trading bot on a Pulsar67 VPS that doesn't suspend on idle, restart on a "scale-to-zero" event, or lose state when your laptop closes.

Why a VPS

Your laptop isn't trading infrastructure.

Running a trading bot from a laptop or home server works until: your power blips, your ISP reboots, you accidentally close the terminal, or you fly somewhere with bad Wi-Fi. A VPS gives the bot a stable execution environment 24/7.

Serverless platforms aren't a fit either - they restart on update, scale to zero, and add cold-start latency you don't want when watching a price feed.

Always-on

No suspend, no scale-to-zero. systemd restarts the bot if it crashes.

Low latency

Tampa metro datacenter with peering to major networks. Decent latency to most major exchanges.

Local DB

SQLite for state, Postgres for backtests, Redis for live cache - all on the same box.

Key custody

API keys live in env vars on a box only you have root to. Not in someone else's hosted-bot platform.

Recommended plan

Most bots are I/O-bound, not compute-bound.

Note: for HFT or ultra-low-latency strategies, colocation near the exchange matters more than any VPS provider can offer. We're a fit for retail and mid-frequency bots, not microsecond-sensitive market making.

What you'll need

From git clone to "it's trading" in 30 minutes.

  • A Pulsar67 VPS (Nano is fine for most retail bots)
  • Ubuntu 22.04 / Debian 12
  • Your bot codebase (Python, Node.js, Rust, Go - whatever)
  • API keys from your exchange (read-only first, trade-enabled later - test in paper mode)
  • A systemd service to keep the bot running
  • Optional: Telegram / Discord webhook for alerts
  • Strict SSH hardening - key-only auth, fail2ban, no root login. Your bot's wallet keys live here.
Why Pulsar67

Predictable infrastructure for unpredictable markets.

True 24/7

Crypto never sleeps. Neither does the box your bot runs on.

DDoS protection

Targeted attacks on retail bots are rare but happen. We absorb at the edge.

Pay in crypto

BTC / ETH accepted. Pay for your VPS with the asset class you're trading.

Snapshots

Snapshot before that "improved strategy" deploy. Roll back fast if it tanks.

Put your bot somewhere reliable.
