Windows Hosting

Despite the share of Windows Server in the enterprise market is still significant, Linux continues to gradually gain dominance as a server OS. In this regard, the question may arise whether Windows VPS/VDS hosting has any future. But the good old Windows Server still allows you to effectively use server hosting capacity thanks to an easy-to-manage and familiar environment. Therefore, Windows may appeal not only to large corporations but also to small or medium-sized businesses that use VPS services.

 

A VPS / VDS or “virtual private/dedicated server" is a virtual machine deployed on a physical server. The server itself is hosted in a data center and maintained by a hosting service provider. VPS fully reproduces the operation of a bare metal server. When renting a VPS, you get full control over it: root access, ability to install any software you want and to perform deep configuration. VPS/VDS is a flexible and affordable option among the hosting services available on the market.

With a Windows VPS the customer gets a full set of server tools that run smoothly out of the box: IIS (Internet Information Services, a web server from Windows), Microsoft Exchange (corporate mail server), Active Directory (network objects management service), MS SQL (database management system) and other products developed by Microsoft. All of them work perfectly together and allow you to manage your server with minimal effort.

 

In what cases should you choose a Windows VPS? Have a look at Windows plans if you are going to work with Windows software such as 1C, ASP.NET, or if you manage a large number of client computers on Windows.
