Windows VPS Hosting

Run Windows applications 24/7 with full control and predictable performance. Get an always-on Windows Server VPS with guaranteed CPU, RAM and storage. Manage IT easily via Remote Desktop from anywhere.

Choose the right server for your needs:

VPS (Shared vCPU)

Shares physical resources with other virtual servers on the same physical machine. You are allocated a specific portion of CPU (cores), RAM, and disk space. However, access to these resources may be limited or affected by other users on the server, unlike with a VDS.

VDS (Dedicated vCPU)

Provides fully dedicated resources such as CPU cores, RAM, and disk space. This guarantees consistent performance and ensures your server operates independently from others on the same physical host.

VDS with GPU

Each VPS comes with a fully dedicated GPU — one physical GPU per virtual server, without sharing. This guarantees consistent GPU performance for compute-intensive workloads such as ML, rendering, or video processing. CPU and RAM resources, however, are shared among all VPS on the host, allowing for efficient resource utilization while keeping costs reasonable.

What Is Windows VPS Hosting?

Windows VPS hosting provides an isolated Windows environment with dedicated resources and full administrative control. You get guaranteed CPU, RAM and storage on shared hardware along with getting dedicated-server-level stability without the complexity or cost of owning physical infrastructure.
Windows VPS focuses on isolation and control. Your resources are reserved for your server and the performance is not affected by other users.
Windows VPS hosting is more cost-efficient and simpler to manage than a physical dedicated server.
Windows VPS is typically used when software or workflows are Microsoft dependent. This includes ASP.NET, MSSQL or applications that require a Windows environment.

Use Cases of Windows VPS Hosting

Hosting Windows-based business applications

Windows VPS is often used for ERP systems, CRMs and other applications that are developed for the Windows ecosystem. This seems to make sense when software requires Windows Server, IIS or specific Microsoft components.
Remote Desktop for teams

A Windows VPS can be used as a shared or individual remote desktop environment. Teams use it to access tools and files from anywhere without decentralizing data.
Application testing and staging

Developers use Windows VPS to test updates, patches and configurations in an isolated environment. This lowers the risk of the break-in production systems.
Hosting websites on IIS

For projects that are based on ASP.NET or need the IIS, Windows VPS is a reasonable option. It provides full control over server settings as compared to shared hosting.
Running licensed or legacy software

Some enterprise or legacy software only runs on the Windows operating system and requires certain versions of the OS. A Windows VPS makes it possible to keep such systems running without the need to maintain physical servers.

Which Windows Server is best for VPS?

There is no best option that is universal. Windows Server 2022 is a good option for stability and security and 2019 is good for legacy software. Newer versions may have more features but they may have higher requirements. Choice depends on workload and software compatibility.

What's the setup time for the cheapest Windows VPS?

In most cases, the deployment will be a few minutes to one hour. This is time dependent upon the configuration selected and the version of the OS. Delays are a rarity, but possible on a peak load.

What OS versions are available with cheap VPS Windows hosting?

Windows VPS plans that are affordable will typically come with Windows Server 2019 and 2022. Newer versions can be available at a higher cost. Exact availability is dependent on the provider and licensing model.
