How do I choose the right Windows VPS plan for my needs?
To select the optimal Windows VPS plan, consider these key factors:
-
CPU Cores: Determine the processing power needed for your applications. More complex applications, like database-intensive websites or game servers, require more cores.
-
RAM: Consider the amount of memory needed to run your applications efficiently. More RAM is essential for handling multiple tasks at once.
-
Storage: Evaluate the storage space required for your website files, databases, and other data. SSD storage is faster than traditional HDD storage.
-
Bandwidth: Assess the amount of data transfer your website or application will generate. Higher bandwidth is crucial for handling heavy traffic.

How do I set up a Windows VPS?
You do not need to configure the VPS to start working. After paying for the order, you will receive a ready-to-use VPS with a configured remote connection option using RDP. After receiving the VPS, for security purposes, you can create an alternative user, change the RDP port, and adjust the firewall settings to limit access to the VPS only from authorized IP addresses.
-
How can I manage a Windows VPS?
You can manage the VPS from the operating system and your personal account. In the Order Management section, you will find options to turn the VPS on, off, or reboot it. You will also have access to a console for backup if the RDP connection fails for any reason.

What is the difference between a Windows VPS and a Linux VPS?
The main difference lies in the operating system. A Windows VPS runs on the Windows platform. It is ideal for those already using Microsoft products and who are accustomed to remote desktop access via RDP. This allows for easy integration with other Microsoft services, such as Office Suite, SQL Server, and ASP.NET.
In contrast, a Linux VPS is based on the Linux kernel. It offers a flexible and customizable platform suitable for developers, system administrators, and advanced users. Linux VPSes are often more cost-effective and provide greater control over the server environment. They are popular among those who appreciate open-source software and scripting. However, by default, they do not include a familiar desktop with a window manager.
Ultimately, the choice between a Windows VPS and a Linux VPS depends on your needs and preferences. If you are heavily invested in Microsoft products, a Windows VPS may be more suitable. However, if you seek a more flexible, customizable, and affordable option for development, testing, or hosting websites, a Linux VPS is likely your best choice.

What software can I install on a Windows VPS?
Since a Windows VPS runs on the Windows operating system, you can install a wide range of Windows-compatible software: programming languages, web servers, databases, Visual Studio and other IDEs, office suites, and remote management tools. The specific software you can install will depend on your VPS's resources, such as CPU, RAM, and storage. It is also important to consider the licensing requirements for different software.
