Windows VPS – The Power of a Dedicated Server with Windows Simplicity

1. What is a Windows VPS?

A Windows VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtual server running the Windows operating system. It provides dedicated resources (CPU, RAM, SSD storage) at a fraction of the cost of a physical dedicated server. Access is typically done via Remote Desktop (RDP), making it very familiar for Windows users.

2. Available Windows Versions

• Windows Server: 2012, 2016, 2019, 2022 and 2025.
• Windows Desktop: 7, 10 and 11.

3. Why does a Windows VPS need more resources?

Unlike Linux, Windows comes with a full graphical interface and additional background services that consume more memory and storage. That’s why a Windows VPS requires more RAM and SSD space to run smoothly.

Recommendation: start with at least 4 GB RAM and 50 GB SSD for basic usage. For more complex applications (e.g. SQL Server, ERP systems), we recommend 8 GB RAM and 100 GB SSD or more.

4. Advantages of a Windows VPS

• Familiar interface: graphical desktop, menus, Windows apps.
• Compatibility: supports Windows-only applications (ERP, CRM, accounting software).
• Remote access: connect via RDP from any PC or laptop.
• Dedicated resources: guaranteed CPU and RAM.
• Scalability: resources can be easily upgraded.

5. How to access a Windows VPS

You can access your Windows VPS using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Once activated, you will receive an IP, username, and password. Connect using the built-in Remote Desktop app:

# Open Remote Desktop (Windows)
mstsc.exe

# Enter the VPS IP and credentials
IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Username: Administrator
Password: ********

Within seconds, you’ll have full access to your Windows desktop, just like on a normal PC.

6. Use cases for Windows VPS

• Run business applications (ERP, CRM, accounting).
• Microsoft SQL Server hosting.
• File server for distributed teams.
• Development and testing environments.
• Host ASP.NET and IIS websites.

8. Conclusion

A Windows VPS gives you the power of a dedicated server at an affordable cost, with the flexibility of scaling resources. Unlike Linux, it requires more resources (RAM and SSD) to perform optimally. Whether you use Windows Server or Desktop versions (7, 10, 11), you’ll enjoy fast access via RDP. Remember: the VPS is delivered without a Windows license – you are responsible for using a valid license.
