Windows Server, and the desktop that comes with it.
Remote Desktop from anywhere, administrator access, and the licence in the price. Sized in the same slices as our Linux servers — two at the smallest, thirty-two at the largest — and billed by the month with nothing to commit to.

The same slices, a different disk. Pick the one that matches the work.
The same block, with Windows on it
A slice here buys exactly what a slice buys on our Linux servers. What differs is the licence and the platform underneath: Hyper-V rather than KVM, and Windows Server rather than a Linux template.
A CPU core arrives with every second slice, so 12 slices is 6 cores.
Added for each slice, to 64 GB at the largest size.
On SSD in RAID 10, so a failed drive does not take the server with it.
Over a shared 10 Gbps port, to 64 TB at the largest size.
Windows starts at two slices, not one. The platform will not run Windows Server on a single slice — it needs more than that before it has started doing any work — so the smallest Windows server is 4 GB of memory.
Thirty-one sizes, and the step between any two
Run the tape past the cut line and your server is everything to the left of it. The next slice sits just beyond, with what it would add.
2 slices are the smallest server we build.

Prices include the Windows Server licence and exclude tax. Billed monthly — there is no yearly commitment and no yearly discount on this product. Sizes of 12 slices and above include managed support.
Three sizes that suit most Windows work
Adding slices later costs the same as buying them today, and an upgrade is a resize rather than a rebuild, so start smaller than you think.
The smallest Windows server
A single application, a Remote Desktop box, or somewhere to run one Windows tool around the clock.
- Remote Desktop and administrator access
- Enough for one application
- The cheapest way onto Windows Server
A working Windows server
An application with a database behind it, or a small team's shared desktop.
- Room for MS SQL Server alongside the app
- Comfortable for a production workload
- Add Plesk if you want a control panel
Managed from here
The size where our engineers start looking after the server with you, at no extra charge.
- Managed support included
- We help with services, databases and panels
- The point most production workloads settle at
What comes with every Windows size
The licence, the desktop and the platform are in the price. Nothing here is an upsell.
Remote Desktop, always on
Connect from anywhere and disconnect again — the applications keep running after the session ends.
Administrator access
Install software, change services and tune the environment yourself, without waiting on anyone.
Hyper-V isolation
Your workload is separated from everything else on the same hardware by the hypervisor Windows is built for.
The licence is in the price
Windows Server is licensed as part of the monthly figure. There is no separate licence invoice to plan for.
Resize, do not rebuild
Add slices when the work grows and pay the difference. The server keeps its data, its IP and its configuration.
Managed from 12 slices
At 12 slices and above, engineers help with failed services, databases, control panels and performance problems.
The Windows stack, as you would install it
An administrator account will run whatever you put on it. These are the things customers put on ours most often.

- ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core
- .NET Framework

We do not publish Windows Server version numbers here, because the templates available change. Tell us which version the software needs and we will confirm it before you order.
Three United States regions
Pick the one closest to the people using it. All three cost the same and carry the same specification.
New York City
The east coast default, and the shortest hop to Europe.
Dallas
Central United States, and the most even latency across the country.
Los Angeles
The west coast, and the shortest hop to Asia and the Pacific.
This platform is United States only. Remote Desktop is usable from Pakistan on all three, but pick the region nearest whoever will be connecting to it the most.
Read this before you rely on it
A server of your own is yours to look after, and that includes the copies. We would rather be blunt about it here than apologetic later.
- 1
Backups are not included
Nothing on this page backs your server up for you. The platform protects the hardware with RAID; it does not protect you from deleting a database.
- 2
Off-server storage is available
We can add separate storage for files and databases, kept away from the server itself. Ask us for a price — it depends on how much you need.
- 3
Where we help, it is a courtesy
If something goes wrong we will try everything we can to get your data back, but keeping your own copy is your responsibility, not ours, on this product and on every other.
If you would rather not think about any of this, our cloud hosting includes daily backups and we run them for you.
Windows, Linux, or something else?
Windows costs more because the licence is in it. If nothing you run needs Windows, do not pay for it.
Remote Desktop, ASP.NET, MS SQL Server, Plesk for Windows, and any software that expects a Windows environment. Starts at two slices.
The same slices without the licence, so a good deal cheaper. Open source stacks, cPanel, Plesk, and anything that runs on Linux.
Shared Windows hosting on Plesk when you want a website on ASP.NET without running a server at all.
A whole machine with nobody else on it, for licensing rules that require it or sustained load that outgrows a virtual server.
Questions about Windows Cloud Compute
The things people ask before they order.
Why does Windows start at two slices?
Because the platform will not run Windows Server on one. Windows needs more memory and disk than the smallest Linux size before it has started doing any work of yours, so the smallest Windows server is two slices — 1 core, 4 GB of memory and 80 GB of SSD.

Tell us what the application needs and we will tell you the size to start at — including when the answer is that it would run just as well, and a good deal cheaper, on Linux.
