Windows VPS or Linux VDS?

• Choose a Windows VPS: IIS, ASP.NET, MSSQL, Active Directory, desktop applications (RDP), .NET Framework projects.
• Choose a Linux VDS: PHP, Node.js, Python, Docker, Nginx/Apache, game servers (FiveM, Minecraft Paper). Guide: What Is a Virtual Server?
• Price: At the same resource level a Windows VPS can cost slightly more than a Linux VDS because of licensing; however, there is no alternative for the .NET/IIS stack.

Choosing by Use Case

Supported Windows Editions

• Windows Server 2025/2022: IIS, ASP.NET, MSSQL, Hyper-V — enterprise production.
• Windows Server 2019/2016: Long-term support environments, Active Directory testing.
• Windows 11/10 Pro: RDP desktop, graphical applications and test environments.
• Windows 11/10 Enterprise: BitLocker, group policy, corporate desktop.

Common Mistakes

• Underestimating RAM: MSSQL + IIS on the same node needs at least 8 GB; 16 GB+ under heavy use.
• Production on WIN-S: Ideal for testing; WIN-M is the minimum for high-traffic e-commerce.
• Neglecting RDP security: Use a strong password, a firewall and a non-default RDP port.
• Confusing it with a Linux VDS: .NET/IIS/MSSQL projects require a Windows VPS.
