Windows VPS
Windows VPS with a licence included
Run Windows-only software on a server that is always on: trading platforms, .NET apps, remote desktops and game servers that need Windows. Pick Windows Server 2019, 2022 or 2025 at checkout and connect with Remote Desktop as soon as it is ready.
The Windows licence is billed monthly alongside the server, so there is nothing extra to buy. Every Windows VPS includes always-on DDoS protection and daily backups.
Windows Server 2019–2025
Standard edition with the desktop experience, fully licensed.
Remote Desktop
Connect with RDP from Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android.
DDoS protection
The same always-on filtering as every TidalVPS server.

Frequently asked questions
Which plans can run Windows?
Wave and larger. Windows needs at least 4 vCores and 8 GB of RAM to run well, so it is not offered on Ripple.
How much does the Windows licence cost?
It depends on the plan size, from $12.99/month on Wave. The exact price is shown when you pick Windows at checkout.
How do I log in?
Once your server is ready, your Administrator password appears in the dashboard and we email you. Connect with Remote Desktop to your server's IP address.
Can I switch between Windows and Linux later?
Windows and Linux use different licences, so a server stays in the family it was ordered with. Order a new server to switch.
