Static IP vs VPS for Algo Trading

A VPS runs the bot. A static IP is what the broker stores. Using the VPS public IP as the whitelist breaks when you resize, migrate or the provider recycles the address.

• VPS = CPU and uptime for the strategy
• Static IP = fixed origin for SEBI-style whitelist
• Algo-IP proxy lets any VPS (or home PC) keep the same whitelist
• AWS / DigitalOcean elastic IPs still move on some rebuilds
• Price: IPv4 ₹200/mo vs a full Mumbai VM plus elastic IP

How this compares

Managed AWS + Elastic IP

More moving parts (EC2, Nginx, patches). Fine for desks that want a server. Overkill if you only need a whitelist IP.

Useful if you need compute. If you already have a machine, buy only the dedicated IP.

Next: purchase a static IP, browse broker setups, or read proxy docs.
