NewYorkCityServers has announced the launch of its next-generation LD4 hosting platform in the Equinix LD4 estate in London. This deployment responds to rising demand among retail and institutional traders for ultra-low-latency infrastructure in one of the world’s most connected financial hubs.
Built specifically for latency-sensitive strategies, the new platform introduces forex VPS service engineered to deliver average round-trip times of approximately 0.7 ms to leading brokers such as FTMO, Tickmill, OneZero, and Blueberry Markets. Each instance runs on AMD Ryzen 7950X processors paired with NVMe storage, ensuring the CPU headroom and I/O throughput required for high-frequency trading, scalping, and automated expert advisors (EAs).
In recent years, the volume of algorithmic and AI-driven trading strategies has surged, driving demand for hosting solutions that can support large-scale backtesting and real-time analytics. By colocating within Equinix LD4—Europe’s premier financial data center campus—NewYorkCityServers ensures minimal physical distance to tier-1 brokers and liquidity providers.
Equinix LD4 sits at the heart of Europe’s trading ecosystem, hosting an array of broker matching engines, liquidity pools, and fintech platforms that process millions of transactions daily. Direct peering agreements and optimized routing across multiple carriers reduce network hops and jitter, while robust DDoS protection and 24/7 network monitoring safeguard trading operations against external threats.
NYCServers’ LD4 nodes use redundant network routes, backup power supplies, and advanced cooling infrastructure, contributing to an operational availability of 99.99%. Traders can deploy Windows instances pre-installed with their broker’s platforms within minutes through the web portal.
As algorithmic trading, AI-assisted strategies, and copy-trading continue to reshape the Forex market, physical proximity to liquidity venues has become a key performance differentiator. Strengthening its presence in LD4 ensures NewYorkCityServers’ clients benefit not only from market-leading execution speeds but also the operational resilience required for today’s fast-moving markets.
Founded in 2012, NewYorkCityServers operates low-latency VPS nodes in New York (NY4), London (LD4), and Tokyo (TKY3), delivering traders worldwide reliable, high-speed access to major Forex markets. Plans are already underway to expand capacity and introduce additional peering locations to further reduce latency and improve redundancy.
