What’s Included with Managed Windows VPS Hosting?

Our managed Windows VPS plans are built for reliability, performance, and complete peace of mind. Here’s what comes as standard.

Do you prefer managing your own Virtual Private Server? Explore our Unmanaged VPS hosting plans.

Fully Configured Windows Environment

We provision your virtual server with a clean, secure Windows Server OS (choose from supported versions such as Windows Server 2019 or 2022). All configuration is handled by our UK-based team, ensuring your environment is ready to go from day one.

Fully Managed Security

Your fully managed Windows VPS comes hardened with best practice security protocols. We install firewall rules, disable unnecessary services, enforce strong RDP protections, and patch vulnerabilities regularly, all without downtime or intervention on your part.

Automatic Windows Updates and Patching

We keep your Windows Server fully updated with the latest patches and critical security updates. You don’t need to manually manage updates as our systems schedule them to avoid peak hours and minimise impact.

Proactive Monitoring

All of our managed Windows VPS hosting services are monitored 24/7 by our infrastructure team. We proactively check for CPU spikes, storage issues, and potential issues that may cause downtime.

Daily Backups and Restore Points

We include daily off-site backups of your entire VPS. You can roll back to a previous restore point if needed, whether it’s due to a software update issue or data corruption.

Support 7 Days a Week

Our experienced support team is available seven days a week by ticket or by livechat. Whether you need assistance with Windows Server configuration, RDP setup or application performance, we’re here to help.

Remote Desktop Access (RDP)

Your managed Windows VPS includes secure RDP access by default, allowing you or your team to log in and manage your server as if you were sitting in front of it. Ideal for remote work, app management, or running Windows-based services.

MSSQL and ASP.NET Support

Need to run Microsoft SQL Server or develop in ASP.NET? Our managed Windows VPS supports both, making it ideal for enterprise applications, ecommerce, and CRM systems that rely on the Microsoft stack.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Managed Windows VPS?

A managed Windows VPS is a virtual private server running Windows Server, where all server management is handled for you, including updates, security, monitoring, and support.
What’s the difference between managed and unmanaged Windows VPS?

With an unmanaged VPS, you’re responsible for everything - setup, updates, configuration, and security. A fully managed Windows VPS includes all of that done by our expert team, with added monitoring and proactive support.
Can I use Remote Desktop to access my server?

Yes. All of our managed Windows VPS hosting plans come with RDP access by default. You can access your server securely from anywhere using Remote Desktop tools.

Absolutely. Our Managed Windows VPS environments are fully compatible with Microsoft SQL Server, ASP.NET, and other essential Windows frameworks.
How often are backups taken?

We take full system backups every day, stored off-site. You can request restores or schedule point-in-time recovery if needed.
