When you go in for windows VPS hosting, you get a virtual private server with Microsoft Windows as the operating system. The versions of Windows could be 2008, 2012, or 2016. Microsoft’s HyperV technology is used to create these machines. This technology virtualizes the host server and Windows VPS is created.
This
hosting solution gives the user complete administrative access to the server. This means full access to the file system and the registry system of the server.
Access to the remote desktop is via RPD protocol. And you can connect to it through your android or iOS devices too.
In the host server, the operating systems of all the VPS machines are completely separate from one another. This solution can be used for offering web hosting to the customers, running game servers, forex applications, and even as a
storage or
backup server.
Some versions of
Windows VPS servers use less system resources than the others. There are fewer versions of this type in the market as opposed to Linux based VPS servers. It is commonly believed that Windows VPS servers are easier to use than Linux. It is also said that these are not as safe as
Linux VPS servers are.
