Windows VPS Hosting Setup Wizard
Configure your Windows Virtual Server per your exact specifications.
What does Windows VPS Hosting include?
ScalaHosting offers Microsoft fans resource-rich, unmanaged VPS plans where they can install the preferred operating system. Users can choose between Windows 2019 and Windows 2022 Standard server editions with the license fee included in the price. The actual configuration takes no more than a minute after your order is complete.
Each client connects to a remote desktop and has full administration access to the VPS environment. This allows users to fine-tune their server and install specific Microsoft products like ASP.NET (web framework), IIS (server software), Sharepoint (website creation), Microsoft Exchange (mail server), and many more.
Windows Servers with Uncompromising Performance
When you opt-in for self-managed Windows VPS plans, you are practically getting a bare-metal machine, a blank sheet for you to build upon. This is why it is of the utmost importance that this foundation is of the best possible quality.
You get full control to run infrastructure like RDP, Exchange, Active Directory, and internal .NET apps — on dedicated Windows resources.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a Windows VPS used for?
Windows VPS solutions have a variety of use cases, but they are mainly the go-to choice for webmasters who work with Microsoft products. There is no better environment for secure tasks, and the integrations with different services are practically seamless. Use a Windows VPS to run .NET technologies, Exchange mail servers, and other proprietary Microsoft apps.
-
Is Windows hosting better than Linux hosting?
While there is no definitive answer to the question of whether a Windows VPS would be better than a Linux VPS, you can easily make your choice based on your own requirements. Linux distributions are generally more customizable and multifunctional, but if you plan to use any Microsoft-specific product or aim for ultimate security - Windows hosting is the way to go.
-
How much does Windows server cost?
While prices may vary between hosting providers, Windows VPS plans are usually more expensive than their Linux server counterparts. This is mainly because of the licensing costs involved - both for the operating system and any additional apps and tools you might want to utilize.
-
What is the difference between shared hosting and VPS hosting for Windows users?
Shared hosting for Windows (often combined with Plesk as a control panel) is an affordable service that allows easy entry into the hosting world and is suitable for small, personal projects. A Windows VPS service comes with dedicated server resources, ensuring improved performance and security for its users. Proprietary Windows products are also not very lightweight, so a robust environment is needed for their smooth operation.

What is the difference between a Windows VPS and dedicated servers?
Both virtual and dedicated servers provide isolated resources and full control.

VPS plans also cost significantly less than dedicated servers while offering similar performance for most use cases.
-
Can I customize my self-managed Windows VPS server?
A virtual private server gives you full freedom for customizations. You have complete control over your machine to manage accounts and websites, install third-party software, and run all kinds of commands. You can also configure services, run PowerShell scripts, and manage your entire Windows stack without restrictions.
