VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting provides dedicated resources including CPU, RAM, and storage on a virtualized server. Unlike shared hosting, you get guaranteed resources and full root access with the flexibility of a dedicated server at a fraction of the cost.

What is KVM virtualization?

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is full hardware virtualization that provides complete isolation and dedicated resources. Each VPS operates independently with its own operating system, offering better performance and security compared to container-based solutions.

Why is the minimum RAM 6 GB?

Windows Server requires more memory for stable performance, especially with RDP sessions and background services. We set a 6 GB minimum to ensure reliable operation.

Do you include Windows licensing?

Yes, Windows Server licensing is included with each plan. We can also advise on SQL Server, RDS, and Active Directory licensing where needed.

How long does it take to deliver my VPS?

Windows VPS deployment is fast and automated. Once provisioned, you will receive RDP credentials to connect and start installing your applications.

How long is my server contract?

You are on a monthly contract, with billing from the first to the last day of each month. When placing an order, you will be billed pro rata for the current month. You can cancel at any time with no long-term commitment.

What operating systems are available?

Windows VPS plans include Windows Server 2022 with RDP access. If you need Linux distributions such as Ubuntu or Debian, see our Linux VPS hosting page.
