XM VPS

XM VPS —
one broker, three continents.

Most XM groups answer from London, but not all of them. Real 33 answers from Singapore and MT5 13 from Canada — consecutive numbers, different continents. The group on your account decides the city, and the name gives no hint.

Where are XM servers?

Mostly London, but not all. Of the seven groups we have measured, five answer from London, one from Singapore and one from Canada.

Read inside MT4 and MT5 against a live account, taken as the median of a week. Not an ICMP ping — that travels a different path and gives a number you cannot act on.

Real 33 and Real 39 are the pair worth remembering. One answers from Singapore, the other from London, and nothing but the number separates them. If your group is not in this table, send us the name from your terminal's login window and we will measure it before you order.

XM group names carry no geography. These are the seven we have measured; if yours is not here, ask before you order rather than guess.

Plans for an
XM setup.

London suits most XM accounts, Singapore or Beauharnois for the two that sit elsewhere. Send us your server name before you order and we will confirm rather than have you guess.

Worth knowing before you order

Consecutive numbers,
different continents.

Real 33 and Real 39 are the pair to remember

These two group names sit next to each other and could not be further apart. Real 39 answers from London at 1.30 ms. Real 33 answers from Singapore. Nothing in either name says so.

A trader who reads "XMGlobal-Real" and assumes London is right five times out of seven on our measurements — and badly wrong the other two. Read the number, not the prefix.

Most groups are in London, and one is in Canada

Of the seven groups we have measured, five answer from London: Real 39, Real, MT5, XM.COM-MT5 and Demo. Real 33 is Singapore and MT5 13 is Beauharnois, in Quebec.

We run nodes in all three, so whichever you are on there is a city close to it. The point is simply to know which before you order rather than after.

XM.COM and XMGlobal are different entities

The prefix on your server tells you which company holds your account. XM.COM and XMGlobal are separate entities with separate licences, and which one you were onboarded to depends on your country.

It changes your leverage cap and what protections apply more than it changes your latency — both of the groups we measured on those two prefixes answer from London. Worth checking on their site which one you signed up to.

The demo group tells you nothing about your live one

XMGlobal-Demo answers from London. That stays true whichever live group you are later placed on, so testing against demo and ordering a London VPS is a guess rather than a measurement.

Open the live account first, read the group number, then choose the city — or send us the name and we will measure it before you order anything.

Before you spend anything.

The questions our support desk actually receives, answered plainly.

Of the seven groups we have measured, five answer from London, one from Singapore (Real 33) and one from Beauharnois in Canada (MT5 13). The server name carries no geography, so the group number is the only way to tell.
London for most accounts, Singapore if you are on Real 33, Beauharnois if you are on MT5 13. Send us your server name and we will confirm which before you order.
Because they run in different datacentres. Real 39 answers from London at 1.30 ms and Real 33 from Singapore. The numbers are consecutive but the sites are not related.
In the login window of MT4 or MT5, and in the client area next to the account number. It looks like XMGlobal-Real 39, and the number at the end is the part that matters.
Not necessarily. XMGlobal-Demo answers from London whichever live group you are later placed on. Read the group number off the live account instead.
They are separate entities with separate licences, and your country decides which holds your account. Both of the groups we measured on those prefixes answer from London, so for latency it makes no difference.
Yes, with no limit from us or from them. Budget a gigabyte per terminal, so three accounts in three terminals is three gigabytes.

Still unsure which plan or which city? Send us your broker's account server name and we will measure it before you buy.
