Why people switch from Hostwinds

The most common reasons traders, agencies, and devs come to DigiRDP from the competition.

Generic hosting, no forex optimisation

Hostwinds is a solid generalist but has no broker-data-centre proximity, no MT4/MT5 pre-install, no NIC interrupt tuning. DigiRDP Forex VPS and Scalping VPS tiers are purpose-built.

No India datacenter

Hostwinds runs US + Netherlands. DigiRDP adds Mumbai + Bangalore with sub-30ms local-market latency and full INR billing.

No crypto-native payment

Hostwinds cards + PayPal only. DigiRDP auto-confirms USDT TRC-20 in 30 seconds without surcharge.

Add-ons stack up

Hostwinds charges extra for managed, for backups, for snapshots. DigiRDP includes managed tier options and 1 free snapshot slot.

Great value VPS

NVMe storage makes a real difference. Boot times and IO feel enterprise-grade at a fraction of the cost.

Frequently asked questions

Is DigiRDP a drop-in replacement for Hostwinds?
For Windows VPS / RDP / Forex workloads — yes. For cPanel shared hosting — use DigiRDP Web Hosting tier. The migration is standard copy-and-restore.
Why is sub-1ms broker latency important?
Forex order execution latency directly impacts fill prices. A 50ms latency edge vs a competitor translates to better fills and lower slippage. Hostwinds' generic-hosting DCs are 30-80ms from broker matching engines.
Does Hostwinds have MT4 pre-installed?
Hostwinds offers Windows VPS but you install MT4 yourself. DigiRDP MT4 VPS tier ships with MetaTrader 4 already installed and licence-activated.
Is Hostwinds' Dallas really 30-80ms to LD4?
Yes — Dallas to LD4 London is ~120ms transatlantic fibre. Some reduction with optimised peering but always >60ms. LD4-to-LD4 (DigiRDP UK node) is sub-1ms.
Can I bring my existing Windows licence?
DigiRDP includes Windows Server licence in the price (you don't need to BYOL). Hostwinds either bundles it or charges extra depending on plan.
What about the 30-day money-back?
Hostwinds has 60-day money-back. DigiRDP has 24-hour — tighter but practical (most workloads surface issues in the first hour).
Do you support Hostwinds-style hourly billing?
Currently monthly only. Hourly billing is on our Q3 2026 roadmap.
