Who Uses a Windows VPS?

From solo developers shipping .NET apps to enterprise teams running SQL Server - if your work depends on Windows, this is built for you.

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 Virtarix for Windows VPS?

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.

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?

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 a pre-activated Windows Server licence, full Administrator access via RDP, NVMe storage, automated backups, and DDoS protection included. Deploy in minutes, scale instantly, and run the software you need without permission from a hosting provider.

Live in Under 5 Minutes

No waiting on provisioning queues. Pick a plan, choose your Windows version, and connect via RDP in minutes.

Select Your Windows Version

4

Install Your Applications

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

Beele saeed Sep 10, 2024

Exceptional Service and Support!

Exceptional Service and Support! I had an outstanding experience with this company from start to finish. The team, especially Peter, was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process of setting up multiple servers. They were quick to respond to all my queries, provided a smooth transition when I needed to change server locations, and even customized the setup to meet my needs perfectly. The pricing was fair, and the service has been top-notch. Everything was activated without a hitch, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance of the servers. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for reliable and efficient server hosting. Will definitely continue working with them!

Really impressed with the Storage VPS performance

I signed up for Virtarix’s cheapest Storage VPS to back up a family member’s large e-commerce sites, and I have been really impressed with the performance. It is fast, and having a server in Johannesburg, South Africa is a big plus. The pricing is also much lower than other local storage options I looked at. I am very happy with the VPS performance and would gladly recommend Virtarix.
