Risk warning: Trading carries a high risk of losing money, especially with leveraged products such as CFDs. A bonus does not reduce that risk. Only deposit what you can afford to lose.

The catch
No cash to withdraw: the benefit is a waived monthly VPS hosting fee, not a credit or profit. To KEEP it free you must trade the required FX/metals volume EVERY month, indefinitely, and the threshold varies by account/platform: more than 5 standard lots/month on MT4/MT5 Standard, more than 10 on MT4/MT5 Raw, more than 20 on cTrader Standard, or more than 40 on cTrader Raw.
How to claim
- Open and fund an FP Markets live trading account (Standard or Raw on MT4, MT5 or cTrader).
- Deposit at least 1,000 USD or equivalent to have the first month of VPS hosting sponsored.
- Contact FP Markets support to request the VPS setup and receive login credentials.
- Keep the VPS free by trading the required monthly lot volume in FX and metals for your account type.
Full review
FP Markets sponsors a virtual private server (VPS) for active clients, hosted in Equinix data centres in New York or London for low-latency execution. The server lets automated strategies and Expert Advisors on MT4, MT5 or cTrader run around the clock without relying on your home computer or internet connection.
The first month is covered once you fund your account with 1,000 USD or equivalent. The catch is that "free" depends on volume, and the perk is not free money. After the sponsored first month you have to trade a minimum number of forex and metals lots every month: about 5 lots on a Standard MT4 or MT5 account, 10 lots on a Raw MT4 or MT5 account, 20 lots on a Standard cTrader account, or 40 lots on a Raw cTrader account.
Only FX and metals count toward the requirement. If you fall below the threshold for two consecutive months, the free subscription can be cancelled and you would pay the hosting fee yourself. There is no cash to withdraw: the value is the waived monthly fee, not a credit.
Eligibility is open to FP Markets live-account holders who can meet the deposit and volume terms. FP Markets does not accept clients from the United States, Japan or New Zealand, so traders in those countries cannot use the offer. To start, fund the account and contact FP Markets support to have the VPS provisioned.
Pros
- +First month of VPS hosting is sponsored after a 1,000 USD deposit.
- +Servers sit in New York and London Equinix data centres for low-latency execution.
- +Keeps automated strategies and EAs running 24/5 independent of your own machine.
Cons
- −Ongoing free hosting requires hitting monthly FX/metals lot volume (5 to 40 lots depending on account and platform).
- −Dropping below the volume threshold for two consecutive months can get the free VPS cancelled.
- −Not available to clients in the US, Japan or New Zealand.
- −The 'free' status is a perpetual monthly obligation, not a one-time unlock: you must hit the lot threshold every single month or lose the perk after two consecutive misses.
- −Even the lowest tier (5 standard lots/month) means roughly 500,000 USD of FX/metals notional traded monthly (~6M USD/year); cTrader Raw demands ~4M USD/month (~48M USD/year), which can drive trading costs far above any saved hosting fee for low-activity traders.
- −Geo eligibility is broader than just US/JP/NZ: Belgium and sanctions-listed countries (Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Iraq, etc.) are also excluded, and EU/EEA retail clients under the CySEC entity are subject to ESMA/CySEC bonus-inducement restrictions, so the perk may be unavailable to them despite the 'all countries' claim.
