MetaQuotes has expanded its infrastructure network with a new hosting location in Amsterdam, allowing brokers to deploy MetaTrader 5 backup servers in the Dutch capital.
The Amsterdam launch comes as MetaQuotes continues to expand the infrastructure supporting its broker ecosystem. At the Finance Magnates London Summit 2025, the company said it had invested "millions" in global server infrastructure, with hosting locations across major financial hubs including London, New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo.
Amsterdam Hosting Reduces Infrastructure Outage Risks
The move gives brokers another option for building resilient trading infrastructure as firms seek to reduce operational risks and improve platform uptime.

A backup server is a key component of MetaTrader 5's high-availability architecture. It continuously synchronizes with the primary trading server and can take over operations if the main site experiences a critical failure.

According to MetaQuotes, the new Amsterdam location is intended to “strengthen” geographic redundancy. Brokers can place backup servers in a different country from their primary trading servers, reducing exposure to disruptions affecting a single data centre, network provider, or region.
For example, a broker operating its primary trading server in London can deploy a backup server in Amsterdam. MetaQuotes said this geographic separation can help improve business continuity during infrastructure outages.
New Hosting Option Available Through MT5
Amsterdam is one of Europe's largest financial and network hubs, providing connectivity to brokers, liquidity providers, and financial institutions. The company said the location offers firms greater flexibility when designing fault-tolerant trading systems.
Beyond Core Trading Platforms
The infrastructure expansion comes as MetaQuotes broadens its product offering beyond MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. In 2025, the company introduced a volume-based pricing model for its Ultency liquidity bridge and launched metatrader.com, a financial information portal for traders and developers.
