Comparison pages written by one of the two companies deserve your skepticism, including this one. So here is the deal we are making with you: every QuantVPS figure on this page comes from QuantVPS’s own published pages, linked so you can check it, and every TradoxVPS figure comes from ours. Where QuantVPS is genuinely stronger, we say so plainly. All numbers were verified on July 4, 2026, and specs change, so confirm current details on both pricing pages before you buy.
The short version: these are two Chicago-based trading VPS providers with different strengths. QuantVPS is the older, larger brand with more locations and a bigger top end. TradoxVPS is the newer challenger competing on hardware value, a newer CPU generation, and more resources per dollar. Which one fits depends on what you actually need, and this page is built to help you decide that, not to win an argument.
The head-to-head: entry Ryzen plans
The fairest comparison is each provider’s entry plan on its performance (Ryzen) line: our Active Trader against their VPS Lite+. Both run AMD Ryzen with DDR5 and NVMe in Chicago.
| Spec (as of July 4, 2026) | TradoxVPS Active Trader | QuantVPS VPS Lite+ |
|---|---|---|
| Price (monthly) | $69/mo | $79.99/mo |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (Zen 5) | AMD Ryzen (7950X / 7950X3D class, Zen 4) |
| Cores | 4 | 4 |
| RAM | 12 GB DDR5 | 8 GB DDR5 |
| NVMe storage | 150 GB | 75 GB |
| PassMark (each provider’s own published figure) | ~9,500 (our benchmarks page) | 8,500 (their benchmarks page) |
| OS | Windows Server 2022 | Windows Server 2022 |
| Bandwidth | 3 Gbps | 3 Gbps+ |
| Dedicated IPv4 | Yes | Yes |
| Uptime | 99.999% target, public status page | 99.999%, public status page |
| Refund | 7-day refund guarantee | 14-day refund guarantee |
| Free trial | 3-day free trial | No free trial |
Sources: QuantVPS’s published benchmarks page and plan pages; TradoxVPS’s pricing and benchmarks pages. Both providers run discounts (our first month is 25% off with code WELCOME; QuantVPS runs its own promos), so compare the billing cycle you would actually use.
The honest summary of that table: at list price, the Active Trader costs about $11 less per month and comes with 50% more RAM, twice the NVMe storage, and a newer CPU generation. Those are the concrete, checkable differences. Now let us explain the two rows that need context, because bare numbers without context are how marketing wins and readers lose.
The CPU difference, explained honestly
Both providers run AMD Ryzen on their performance lines, but different generations. QuantVPS’s published materials describe their Ryzen line as 7950X and 7950X3D class, which is AMD’s Zen 4 generation. TradoxVPS runs the Ryzen 9 9950X, the Zen 5 successor, on every plan.
Why this matters for trading, specifically: trading platforms, charting, indicators, and most strategy loops lean on single-thread CPU performance, and Zen 5 raised single-thread performance over Zen 4. It is a normal generational step, roughly a mid-teens percentage in single-thread benchmarks, not a magic leap. You can verify the gap yourself on PassMark’s public CPU database by comparing the 9950X and 7950X single-thread ratings.
This is also the honest explanation for the benchmark row above. Our published Active Trader PassMark (~9,500) is higher than QuantVPS’s published Lite+ figure (8,500) mostly because the chip is a generation newer, not because of anything mysterious. Both numbers come from each provider’s own benchmarks page, both are linked, and if you want certainty, run PassMark yourself on a trial of either service. Our guide to checking VPS performance shows exactly how, and it works on any provider.
One fairness note: QuantVPS’s 7950X3D option has a large 3D V-Cache, which benefits some specific workloads. For typical trading platform work, single-thread speed is the number to watch, but if you know your workload loves cache, factor that in.
Latency: the honest version both marketing pages skip
Here is where we will not play the usual game. Both providers host in Chicago’s data-center ecosystem near CME infrastructure. QuantVPS advertises sub-millisecond figures like 0.52 ms to CME. We could advertise a similar-looking number, and we deliberately do not, for a reason that matters to your trading.
Any figure like that is a network leg, the hop from the VPS to a nearby exchange-adjacent point, and it is not your order’s execution round-trip. Your real path runs from your platform through your broker’s gateway to the matching engine and back, and that round-trip is what determines your experience. At this level of proximity, the network leg is simply not where two well-placed Chicago providers meaningfully differ. What differs is hardware, consistency under load, and price.
So our honest advice for comparing latency: ignore advertised pings, including ours, and measure the round-trip to your own broker from each provider during market hours. We built a latency checker so you can test the path from your own location before paying us anything, and we explain the right way to test (TCP to your broker’s gateway, not just ping) in our performance guide. If a provider’s latency claim cannot survive you measuring it, that tells you something. Both of ours can, and so, in fairness, can a well-run competitor’s, because Chicago proximity is table stakes in this market, not a differentiator.
Uptime and network
Both providers publish a 99.999% uptime figure and a public status page. Ours is a target we publish real history against on our status page, and QuantVPS runs its own public status page. Our honest advice is the same for both: do not buy a decimal on a sales page, check the status history, and judge the provider by its worst month, not its best claim.
On network, the published figures are 3 Gbps unlimited bandwidth on our plans and 1 Gbps+ unmetered on QuantVPS’s published Ryzen materials. For trading itself this matters less than people think, because platforms and bots send small messages, and latency consistency matters far more than throughput. Treat bandwidth as a box to check, not a reason to choose.
Where QuantVPS is genuinely stronger
A comparison you can trust has to include this section, so here it is, plainly.
- More locations. QuantVPS operates 7 data centers (Chicago, New York, London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Tokyo). TradoxVPS currently operates 4 (Chicago, London, Amsterdam, Dublin), with New York and Frankfurt on our roadmap. If you need New York or Tokyo hosting today, QuantVPS has it and we do not.
- Longer track record and scale. QuantVPS states 10+ years in operation with thousands of customers, and holds a NinjaTrader Approved Vendor listing. TradoxVPS launched in 2025. We think our hardware and transparency close that gap, but a longer public history is a real form of proof, and we will not pretend otherwise.
- A bigger top end. QuantVPS’s range extends into large dedicated servers and GPU options. Our lineup tops out lower. If you need institutional-scale dedicated hardware from one vendor, their catalog reaches further.
If those are your decision drivers, QuantVPS is a reasonable choice, and we would rather tell you that than have you buy from us and churn.
Where TradoxVPS is stronger
- More resources per dollar at list price. On the entry Ryzen plans compared above: $69 vs $79.99, 12 GB vs 8 GB RAM, 150 GB vs 75 GB NVMe. Those are the published numbers on both pricing pages as of July 4, 2026.
- A newer CPU generation on every plan. Ryzen 9 9950X (Zen 5) across the board, with the single-thread benefit explained above, reflected in both providers’ own published PassMark figures.
- Verification-first transparency. We publish real PassMark screenshots per plan, a live latency checker you can use before buying, and a status page, and our content teaches you how to test any provider, including us. We are the newer brand, so we compete by making everything checkable.
- A 7-day refund guarantee, so testing us carries no risk. Run PassMark, test latency to your broker, and keep the service only if the numbers hold.
Who should choose which
Choose QuantVPS if you need a location we do not offer yet (New York, Frankfurt, Tokyo), you want the reassurance of a decade-old brand at a modest premium, or you need their large dedicated or GPU tiers.
Choose TradoxVPS if you trade CME futures from Chicago (or forex, crypto, or Polymarket from our European locations), you want the newest Ryzen generation and more RAM and storage for less money, and you prefer a provider you can fully verify before and after buying.
And whichever way you lean, do the same two checks on both: run PassMark on a trial, and measure the round-trip to your own broker during market hours. Ten minutes of testing beats any comparison page, including this one.
Frequently asked questions
At list price on the entry Ryzen plans, yes: $69/mo for our Active Trader versus $79.99/mo for their VPS Lite+, with more RAM (12 GB vs 8 GB) and storage (150 GB vs 75 GB) as of July 4, 2026. Both providers run promotions, so compare the billing cycle and discount you would actually use.
Comparing each provider’s own published PassMark figures, our Active Trader (~9,500) scores above their Lite+ (8,500), which is what you would expect from a Zen 5 chip versus a Zen 4 chip rather than anything mysterious. Verify it yourself: both benchmark pages are public, and you can run PassMark on a trial of either service.
Honestly, at this proximity the advertised ping is not the differentiator, because both host in Chicago’s data-center ecosystem near CME. Advertised figures are network legs, not your execution round-trip. Measure the round-trip to your own broker from each during market hours, and judge that number. Our latency checker lets you test before buying.
A VPS removes delay from an unstable home connection, which avoids one source of execution delay. It does not reduce the slippage that comes from thin liquidity and fast prices inside the exchange, which is a market event no provider can prevent. Be skeptical of any VPS marketing, from anyone, that promises to eliminate slippage.
Both support NinjaTrader on Windows Server 2022 in Chicago, and QuantVPS holds a NinjaTrader Approved Vendor listing. On raw platform performance, single-thread CPU speed is what NinjaTrader leans on, which favors the newer 9950X. Our NinjaTrader VPS page has the platform-specific detail.
No, and this page does not claim it is. QuantVPS is an established provider with more locations and a longer track record. Our case is narrower and checkable: on the entry Ryzen plans, we currently offer a newer CPU generation and more resources for less money. Verify both sides and pick what fits your needs.
All specifications and prices verified July 4, 2026 from each provider’s published pages. Specs and pricing change, so confirm current details on both providers’ sites before purchasing.
