Windows VPS

Windows VPS costs more than the same RAM on Linux: you pay for the guest license (or a host that bundles it). Confirm the version (2019/2022), RDP, and whether SQL Server is extra.

Linux-first clouds (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Linode) can boot Windows, but the catalog price is usually the Linux SKU. Dedicated Windows lines and older Xen leftovers are a different filter — match OS on the plan, not the brand.

If you only need a GUI for a legacy app, a small Windows VPS is fine. If you can run the stack on Ubuntu, the Linux VPS table will be cheaper.

Is Windows included in the price?

Not always. Some hosts quote RAM-only and add a Windows license at checkout. Read the plan name and the company page.

Can I run Windows on Hetzner or Linode?

Often yes, with your own license or their image catalog. The cheap CX/Nanode prices on this site are Linux defaults unless the plan says Windows.

RDP and office apps?

RDP is the usual admin path. Hosting Microsoft 365 or a full RDS farm is a different product than a 2 GB Windows VPS.

Windows vs Linux for a website?

Unless the app is ASP.NET / MSSQL, Linux KVM is cheaper and has more images. Use this ranking when the software requires Windows.
