What You Can Run on a Virtarix Windows VPS

List of what you can run on a Virtarix Windows VPS: Remote Desktop workspaces, .NET apps, IIS websites, SQL Server, Active Directory, business software, trading tools, and private Windows services with dedicated CPU and RAM.

Remote Desktop Teams

Access a full Windows desktop from anywhere. Run Office suites, accounting software, CRMs, or any Windows application as though you’re sitting in front of a local machine - without maintaining physical hardware.

.NET & ASP.NET Developers

Deploy .NET Framework, .NET Core, and ASP.NET applications on IIS with full Visual Studio compatibility. Push code, manage builds, and debug remotely with native Windows tool-chains.

Windows Business Applications

QuickBooks, Sage, custom ERP, Access databases - applications that only run on Windows deploy without compatibility workarounds. RDP in and work as if you’re on a local machine.

SQL Server & Database Hosting

Run SQL Server Express, Standard, or Enterprise on NVMe storage with dedicated CPU and RAM. No shared-server throttling, no connection pooling limits imposed by the hosting platform.

Forex & Trading Software

MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, and custom EAs run 24/7 on a server that doesn’t sleep, reboot overnight, or share CPU with other tenants. Low-latency connectivity to financial data feeds.

IT Admins & System Administrators

Manage Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, and other Windows Server roles in a fully isolated environment. Test configurations, run staging environments, or host production services.

Software Testers & QA Teams

Spin up isolated Windows environments for browser testing, software compatibility checks, and automated test suites. Deploy Windows Server 2016, 2019, or 2022 on demand - tear down and rebuild in minutes.

Why Choose Virtarix for Windows VPS Hosting

Full RDP access. NVMe speed. DDoS protection. Backups included. Scaling on demand.

Full RDP Access

Log in to a full Windows desktop the moment your server is ready. Run GUI applications, manage services, install software through the familiar Windows interface - from any device, anywhere.

Guaranteed CPU & RAM

Your CPU cores and RAM are reserved exclusively for your instance. No over-subscription, no throttling under load, no performance variance caused by other tenants on the same node.

NVMe SSD Storage

All Windows VPS plans run on enterprise NVMe arrays. Database queries return faster. Applications load without delay. Boot times drop to seconds, not minutes.

DDoS Protection

Network-level DDoS mitigation runs 24/7 at no extra cost. Volumetric and protocol attacks are filtered before they reach your instance. No add-on required.

Automated Daily Backups

Take a full snapshot of your server at any time from the control panel. Restore your entire instance or roll back a specific change in seconds: no scripting or third-party tools needed.

Instant Vertical Scaling

Upgrade CPU, RAM, and storage through the control panel with no downtime and no data migration. Your instance stays live and accessible throughout the process.

99.99% Uptime SLA

Backed by a 99.99% uptime SLA across all live data centre locations.

Windows VPS vs. The Alternatives

Shared hosting can’t run Windows applications. Bare-metal costs thousands upfront. A Windows VPS gives you the control of dedicated hardware at the price of shared - with the flexibility to scale on demand.

Still Fighting Shared Servers, Locked-Down Hosting, and Windows Apps That Won’t Install? illustration

Still Fighting Shared Servers, Locked-Down Hosting, and Windows Apps That Won’t Install?

Shared hosting doesn’t support Windows. Consumer desktops aren’t built for 24/7 uptime. You need a dedicated Windows server that’s actually designed for production workloads.

Most shared hosting plans run Linux only. Even “Windows hosting” plans lock you into a web-only control panel with no RDP, no admin rights, and no ability to install custom software. Bare-metal servers cost $100+/month before you even buy a Windows licence. A Virtarix Windows VPS starts at $13.50/mo with the Windows Server licence included for the base OS image, full Administrator access via RDP, NVMe storage, 1 included backup, and DDoS protection included. Deploy in minutes, scale instantly, and run the software you need without permission from a hosting provider.

Launch Your Windows VPS in Minutes

1

Choose Your Plan

Select the CPU, RAM, and storage tier that matches your workload. Upgrade instantly later - no need to over-provision.

2

Select Your Windows Version

3

Receive RDP Credentials

Your server IP, Administrator username, and password arrive by email within 5 minutes of provisioning.

4

Install Your Applications

Connect via Remote Desktop, install your software, configure your services, and go live. Full admin control from day one.

Frequently asked questions

Which Windows Server versions are available?

We offer Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022 images. The Windows Server licence is included for the base OS image offered during provisioning, so you do not need to bring your own Windows Server licence for standard deployment.

Is RDP (Remote Desktop) included, and do I need to buy CALs separately?

Yes, full RDP access is included with every Windows VPS plan. You connect as the server Administrator. If you need multiple concurrent RDP users or Remote Desktop Services roles, additional Microsoft licensing requirements may apply.

How quickly will my Windows VPS be provisioned?

Provisioning completes in under 5 minutes. You will receive your server’s IP address, Administrator username, and password by email the moment the instance is ready.

How much does a Windows VPS cost?

Virtarix Windows VPS plans start at $13.50/mo (WIN VPS S: 3 vCPU, 6 GB RAM, 50 GB NVMe, unlimited bandwidth, Windows licence included). Quarterly, semi-annual, and annual billing cycles are available with additional discounts. Use code WELCOME20 at checkout to save 20% on your first 3 months.

Can I run business applications like QuickBooks, Sage, or SQL Server on a Windows VPS?

Yes. Any Windows-compatible software that runs on a standard Windows Server installation will run on a Virtarix Windows VPS. This includes QuickBooks, Sage, SQL Server (Express, Standard, or Enterprise), Microsoft Access, custom .NET applications, and any other Windows desktop or server application.

What is Windows VPS hosting?

Windows VPS hosting is a private cloud server running Windows Server with dedicated CPU, RAM, NVMe SSD storage, full administrator control, and Remote Desktop access. With Virtarix, the Windows Server license is included so customers can run business apps, private web hosting, or remote desktops without buying a separate license key.

Is the Windows Server license included?

Yes. The Windows Server license is included for the base Windows Server image offered with Virtarix Windows VPS plans. You do not need to bring your own Windows Server license for standard deployment; separate Microsoft licensing may still apply for additional roles, users, or software you install.

Do I need additional CALs?

Standard administrator RDP access is included. If your business needs multiple concurrent Remote Desktop users or a larger Microsoft licensing setup, additional Remote Desktop Services licensing may be required and should be confirmed before deployment.

How do I connect to my Windows VPS?

After provisioning, you receive the server IP address, Administrator username, and password by email. Open Microsoft Remote Desktop or another RDP client on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android, enter the credentials, and connect to the server desktop.

Can I run SQL Server, Active Directory, and Hyper-V?

Yes, you can run SQL Server, Active Directory, IIS, .NET applications, and many Windows business services on your Windows VPS. Hyper-V or nested virtualization depends on the selected plan and virtualization requirements, so confirm that workload with support before ordering.

Where are your data centers located?

This Windows VPS offer is positioned around the US Dallas data center for low-latency North American hosting. Virtarix also operates additional data center locations for other VPS products; ask support if you need Germany, South Africa, Singapore, or Dubai availability for a specific Windows workload.

Can I scale my Windows VPS without downtime?

Yes. You can scale CPU, RAM, and storage from the control panel as your workload grows. Some resource changes may require a short reboot window, but there is no manual migration to a new server and your data stays on the same VPS instance.

Is this managed or unmanaged hosting?

Virtarix Windows VPS hosting is unmanaged at the operating-system and application layer. We manage the cloud infrastructure, network, DDoS protection, and VPS platform; you manage Windows settings, installed software, security policies, and application configuration unless a managed support arrangement is agreed separately.

Which Windows Server versions can I install?

You can deploy the Windows Server images offered during provisioning, including current supported Windows Server options listed on this page. The base Windows Server license is included with the selected image, and you receive RDP credentials after provisioning.

How much does Windows VPS hosting cost?

Windows VPS hosting starts at $13.50/month for WIN VPS S. The entry plan includes dedicated CPU, RAM, NVMe SSD storage, unlimited bandwidth, DDoS protection, and a Windows Server license for the base OS image. Promo code WELCOME20 gives 20% off your first 3 months when available.
