Local or VPS
What is a VPS?
A VPS is basically a remote PC that you have access to. The remote computer could be located anywhere in the world, and that gives you some advantages when it comes to using this program, for example, being able to keep it running 24/7, or having a lower ping.

Why is the ping to Hypixel important? (AH Macro)
When there were only a few using the AH Macro, the flips were abundant, but now that we are +500 people using the same program, flips are a lot harder to catch, due to many people competing to buy the auction.
That's why the ping to Hypixel is important, the lower the ping, the faster the server responds, and the faster the bot can click and buy the auction.
Higher ping users get very few flips, but they usually have a lower profit, since higher profit flips are bought by lower ping users.
Here's a small comparison between the two:
Cost
Free
Free - Expensive
Time
Not really time consuming
Fairly time consuming if you don't have some basic setup knowledge
Difficulty
Low
Medium
Ping
Depends on your location
Low if you choose near Hypixel's servers
