Short answer
Yes. Order a Hostnali Windows VPS and Windows Server comes installed, with the licence included in the plan price. You connect with Remote Desktop (RDP) from a PC, Mac or phone and get full Administrator rights.
What you can run
- Windows-only business software: accounting, ERP and point-of-sale systems that your staff in Kigali, Huye or anywhere else use remotely.
- MetaTrader 4 and 5 with expert advisors running around the clock (see forex VPS).
- .NET and ASP.NET apps, MS SQL Express and IIS.
- A shared remote desktop for staff who need the same Windows machine wherever they are.
How to connect
- Once your order is set up, you receive the server’s IP address and Administrator password.
- On Windows, open Remote Desktop Connection; on a Mac or phone, install Microsoft’s Remote Desktop / Windows App.
- Enter the IP address and sign in as Administrator. Change the password right away.
How big a server?
Windows uses more memory than Linux. As a rough guide:
- 1–2 users or one trading terminal: 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM.
- Small office software for a few users: 4 vCPU and 8 GB RAM.
- Several users or a database: 6 vCPU and 12 GB RAM or more.
See Windows VPS for plan prices with Windows included, or Windows dedicated servers if you want dedicated CPU cores. Our VPS plans run in international data centres.
Good to know
- A VPS is self-managed by default: you keep Windows updated, or add our managed service at checkout.
- Backups aren’t included by default; add them at checkout.
- Keep Remote Desktop locked down: strong passwords, and limit who can connect.
