What can I run on a Windows VPS?
Anything that runs on Windows: trading platforms, business software, automation, bots and scripts that must stay on. You download the installer in the VPS browser and run it, exactly as on a PC.
Which Windows version is installed?
Windows Server 2022, already installed and set up. You receive your login by email and can connect straight away.
Do I get full administrator access?
Yes. You can install, configure and update whatever you like. There is no list of approved programs.
How do I connect from Windows, macOS, iOS or Android?
Over Remote Desktop. On Windows the app is part of the system (Remote Desktop Connection). On Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android you download Microsoft’s free app, now called Windows App.
How is it different from the Forex VPS and the NinjaTrader VPS?
The machines are the same. The Forex VPS and the NinjaTrader VPS are built around trading: MetaTrader auto-start, plans sized in terminals and charts, and support that knows those platforms. The Windows VPS is the general-purpose version, for everything else.
Is the bandwidth really unmetered, and are backups included?
Bandwidth is unmetered on every plan. The daily backup to a second data centre is included from the Basic plan up; the Cheap plan has neither the daily backup nor 24/7 support.
How long will Windows Server 2022 receive security updates?
Microsoft provides security updates for Windows Server 2022 until October 2031.
Where is my VPS hosted?
In Europe, on two separate sites with redundant power and networking. There is more on the Data centres page.
How can I pay, and is there a free trial or a refund?
You pay month by month, by bank transfer or by PayPal if you prefer automatic renewal; prices are in euro and include VAT. There is no free trial and no money-back guarantee, which is exactly why the plans are monthly with no contract, and you can cancel whenever you like.
