Bare metal running Windows Server 2022 with the licence in the price, RDP enabled at handover and full administrator access. AMD EPYC, Ryzen 9 and Intel Xeon, in six datacenters. From $149/mo.
Windows licensing is priced per physical core, which makes a shared hypervisor an expensive place to run it. On bare metal you pay for the cores you actually use.
SQL Server is licensed per core and is punishing about storage latency. Dedicated NVMe with no noisy neighbour keeps query times predictable, and you license only the cores in the machine you rented.
Domain controllers, DFS and print services want uptime and a stable IP more than raw speed. IPMI means you can recover a domain controller that will not boot without waiting for anyone.
Hardware virtualisation is enabled on every plan. Run your own hypervisor with your own overcommit rules rather than someone else's — up to 1152 GB of DDR5 ECC on EPYC plans.
ERP, accounting and industry software that assumes a real Windows server. Full administrator access means the vendor's installer works the way its documentation says it will.
Yes. Every Windows plan includes a Windows Server 2022 Standard licence in the monthly price. Datacenter edition is available on request for servers running large numbers of virtual machines.
Yes. RDP is enabled at handover and the administrator credentials are issued with the server. We recommend restricting RDP to your own IP ranges in the Windows firewall, or putting it behind a VPN, before the server sees production traffic.
Yes — you have full administrator access and IPMI, so anything that runs on Windows Server runs here. SQL Server licences are yours to supply; we do not resell them.
Yes. Request a reinstall from the client area and pick Windows Server 2022. The reinstall wipes the disks, so take a backup first. The licence fee is added to your next invoice pro rata.
Yes. Every plan ships with hardware virtualisation enabled in the BIOS, so Hyper-V works without a support ticket. EPYC plans with 1152 GB of DDR5 are the usual choice for dense virtualisation.
