Frequently asked questions about Windows VPS
What is a Windows VPS?
A Windows VPS is a virtual machine running Windows Server on a physical server whose hardware is shared, while the resources assigned to you stay reserved. It keeps your business software always reachable: no server to maintain in the office, and every branch connects to the same machine at full speed.
How much does a Windows VPS for business software with 20 users cost?
For business software used by about 20 people, the VPS W3 (4 vCore, 8 GB RAM, 160 GB SSD) is the typical starting point for a Rackone Windows VPS, with the Windows Server license and traffic included. The plans table shows the monthly price, VAT excluded, and the configurator gives the exact total.
How do I choose the right Windows VPS?
Choosing the right Rackone Windows VPS depends on three things: the software you will install, how many users will connect and how much data it handles. You can start small and add resources over time without reinstalling; if you are unsure, a systems engineer sizes it with you.
How do I manage my Windows VPS?
On an unmanaged Rackone Windows VPS you are the administrator and connect through Remote Desktop, and from the customer panel you can restart it, switch it on and off and open the noVNC console. With the Managed option our systems engineers administer the server for you, so administrator access stays with them and you keep the permissions agreed for your users and services.
Which version of Windows Server does the VPS use?
A Rackone Windows VPS comes with Windows Server preinstalled and activated, with the license included in the monthly fee. If your software needs a specific release, tell us before you order and we agree it with you; for Linux distributions, see the Linux VPS page.
What is the Managed service?
The Managed service gives your Windows VPS a Rackone systems engineer: we install the software you need, configure the server as you ask and look after patches, security updates and monitoring. It is the option for companies that want the server running without running it themselves.
What software can I install on a Windows VPS?
On a Rackone Windows VPS you can install any software compatible with Windows Server: business software and ERP systems, office applications, Microsoft SQL Server and more. Microsoft licenses such as CALs (client access licenses) and Office can be added directly to the service.
Why rent a Windows VPS instead of buying a server?
Renting a Rackone Windows VPS saves you buying hardware: you pay a monthly fee, you add resources when you need them and you never replace a server at the end of its life. For a steady, heavy workload on a whole machine, there is the dedicated server.
Can a company outside Italy rent a Windows VPS from Rackone?
Yes, a Rackone Windows VPS can be rented by a company anywhere in the world: the server runs in Italy, under EU jurisdiction, the cart is in English, and you reach our team in English at the same contacts as our Italian customers.
