Why run Windows Server on a VPS
Run Windows-only software
Use applications that do not exist for Linux, from trading terminals to accounting software.
A familiar desktop
Manage the server with the Windows desktop over Remote Desktop instead of a command line.
The Microsoft stack
Host ASP.NET sites on IIS and run SQL Server, the same way as on your own Windows machines.
Always on
Keep programs, bots and terminals running 24/7 without leaving your own computer on.
Why experienced users choose Windows Server
Runs Windows applications
Desktop programs and services that have no Linux version run as they do on a PC.
Familiar graphical management
Server Manager and the Windows desktop make common tasks point-and-click.
PowerShell automation
Script installs, updates and configuration, locally or remotely.
Built-in security
Windows Defender Antivirus and Windows Firewall are on by default.
The Microsoft stack
IIS, ASP.NET and SQL Server work together the way Windows developers expect.
Long support
Windows Server 2022 receives security updates until October 2031.
Who Windows Server is best for
Traders
Run MetaTrader and other trading terminals or bots without interruptions.
.NET developers
Host ASP.NET applications and services on IIS.
Small businesses
Run accounting or line-of-business software that your team reaches over Remote Desktop.
Windows automation
Scheduled tasks, PowerShell scripts and tools that need Windows.
When Windows Server is not the best choice
A simple website or Linux app
Linux uses fewer resources and runs on smaller, cheaper plans for most web hosting.
See Ubuntu VPSMany simultaneous desktop users
Windows Server allows two administrator sessions at once. More users need Remote Desktop Services licences, which you buy separately.
Best workloads for a Windows Server VPS
Trading terminals
MetaTrader 4 and 5, bots and expert advisors.
ASP.NET on IIS
Websites and APIs built with .NET.
SQL Server
Databases for your Windows applications.
Remote office
Accounting and office software your team uses remotely.
Game servers
Dedicated servers for games that only ship for Windows.
Automation and bots
Scheduled tasks and Windows tools that run around the clock.
How much VPS does Windows Server need?
| What you run | Recommended resources |
|---|---|
| A remote desktop and a browser | 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM |
| One trading terminal or light tools | 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM |
| Several terminals or an IIS site | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM |
| SQL Server or office software for a team | 6 vCPU, 16 GB RAM |
Windows Server updates and server maintenance
Your VPS is self-managed: you decide when updates and upgrades happen. These habits keep it secure.
Install Windows updates monthly
Microsoft releases security updates every month; install them and restart at a quiet time.
Protect Remote Desktop
Use a long password, keep Network Level Authentication on and allow RDP only from your own IP addresses if you can.
Keep Defender running
Leave real-time protection on and add exclusions only for folders that need them.
Back up your data
Copy important files and databases off the server regularly.

mstsc /v:YOUR_SERVER_IP - 2
Install updates

sconfig - 3
Change the password
Set a new, strong Administrator password, and add your own user if others will sign in.

Windows Server compared with common alternatives
| Alternative | Main difference | Choose it when |
|---|---|---|
 Ubuntu | Needs less memory, costs less and has no licence considerations. | Your software runs on Linux, such as most websites and web apps. |
 AlmaLinux | The usual base for cPanel web hosting servers. | You want to host websites with cPanel. |
 Debian | Very lightweight and stable for long-running Linux services. | You need a small, always-on Linux server such as a VPN. |
Compare operating systems
You choose the system when you deploy and can reinstall with another one later from your client area. Windows runs on our Windows-ready plans, Fedora on our NVMe cloud plans.
| System | Best for | Releases and support | Updates and packages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ubuntu | Most users and modern app stacks | LTS every two years, five years of updates | apt |
| Debian | Stable, long-running servers | New stable release about every two years | apt |
| AlmaLinux | cPanel and RHEL-certified software | Follows RHEL, about ten years per version | dnf |
 Rocky Linux | Former CentOS users and enterprise apps | Follows RHEL, about ten years per version | dnf |
 Fedora | Developers who want the newest software | New release every six months, about 13 months of support | dnf |
| Windows Server This page | Windows software, .NET and Remote Desktop | Long-term releases with about ten years of support | Windows Update |

Windows Server VPS FAQ
Which Windows versions can I install?
Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2019. We recommend 2022, which receives security updates until October 2031.
How do I connect to my Windows VPS?
With Remote Desktop (RDP). Use the server's IP address, the user Administrator and the password from your client area.
How many people can use the server at once?
Two administrator sessions are included. For more simultaneous users you need Remote Desktop Services licences from Microsoft.
Can I run MetaTrader on the VPS?
Yes. Install MetaTrader 4 or 5 as on any Windows computer; it keeps running when you disconnect.
How much RAM does Windows Server need?
Windows Server runs from 2 GB RAM, enough for a remote desktop and light tools. We recommend 4 GB or more for trading terminals, and 8 GB or more for SQL Server or several users.
Can I switch to Linux later?
Yes. Reinstall the server with Linux from your client area, or ask our team in a support ticket. Reinstalling erases the disk, so back up your data first.
How can I pay?
The Windows VPS plans on this page start at $21.25 a month on yearly billing, which saves 15%, or $25.00 a month paid monthly. You pay in cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, USDT and Monero, or from your ClientVPS account balance, and you only need an email address to sign up.
Can I install IIS on my Windows VPS?
Yes. Add the Web Server (IIS) role in Server Manager, or run Install-WindowsFeature Web-Server -IncludeManagementTools in PowerShell.
How do I protect Remote Desktop from attacks?
Use a long, unique password, keep Network Level Authentication on, and if your IP address is fixed, allow RDP only from it in Windows Firewall.
Can I change the Remote Desktop port?
Yes, but open the new port in Windows Firewall before you restart, or you will lock yourself out. A different port reduces automated attempts but does not replace a strong password.
Ready to run Windows Server?
Pick a plan and our team sets it up with Windows Server for you. Pay with crypto or your account balance.
