Why Trading Bots Belong on a VPS
A 2–4 GB KVM VPS with NVMe storage, 24/7 uptime and root access — that is the whole formula, sized smaller than people expect. Crypto never closes, so the bot needs a home that never sleeps: datacenter power, a stable IP, and process supervision that restarts after crashes. freqtrade-class Python bots run comfortably on the entry tier; multi-exchange setups scale with RAM.
- Sizing — 2–4 GB RAM for one bot; 8 GB for several strategies in parallel.
- Uptime — systemd or Docker with automatic restart; snapshots before updates.
- Security — trade-only API keys, no withdrawal rights, 2FA, firewall.
Compare the trading-optimised line on crypto trading VPS and the general purpose tiers on trading VPS — the infrastructure is the same, the tuning differs.
Server Sizing: RAM, CPU, Disk
The questions below cover what actually decides a bot-hosting setup: which VPS size a single strategy needs, whether freqtrade-class open-source bots run unattended, how much RAM multi-exchange stacks consume, whether keeping exchange API keys on a VPS is safe, why 24/7 uptime is non-negotiable, and what happens to open positions when the server restarts mid-strategy. Each answer gives the practical configuration first and the reasoning second — the same guidance our engineers give during setup.
Setup: Python, freqtrade, Exchange API Keys
Two practical notes on freqtrade and CCXT: it interacts directly with caching and database response, and misconfiguration is the most common cause of 'hosting is slow' tickets. WebJi® support checks it as part of standard migrations.
Security: API Restrictions, 2FA, Firewall
How this plays out with exchange API keys: settings that look cosmetic usually decide page speed and uptime under real traffic. The defaults WebJi® ships are tuned for Indian network conditions, and support can review your setup on request.

VPS Costs in India (INR)
The cost picture is smaller than newcomers expect:
| Configuration | Specs | Price (₹/mo) |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud Entry | 2 vCPU · 8 GB RAM · 100 GB NVMe | 5,900 |
| Cloud Business | 4 vCPU · 16 GB RAM · 250 GB NVMe | 7,900 |
| Cloud Pro | 8 vCPU · 32 GB RAM · 500 GB NVMe | 11,900 |
Quotes are custom per configuration in INR with GST — billed monthly, no per-bot licence. Against the cost of one missed stop-loss, the hosting line pays for itself. Uptime, snapshot and recovery details follow in the section above.
