[See Ryzen VPS plans](https://streethosting.com.br/en/vps/ryzen) [Compare with the Xeon line](https://streethosting.com.br/en/vps/xeon) * São Paulo, Brazil * Anti-DDoS up to 400 Tbps * NVMe Quick answer A Windows VPS is a virtual machine with Windows Server and access over Remote Desktop, the RDP. Treat 4GB of RAM as the floor, because the system itself takes memory before any application comes up: here the 4GB plan starts at R$ 43/month on the Xeon line and R$ 52/month on the Ryzen Budget one. ## The licence is everybody first question Before price, settle the licensing. There are two paths: the licence coming with the VPS you buy, charged along with the machine, or you bringing your own key. That depends on the plan, so confirm it on the product page or with support before you order the install. With no activation, Windows Server enters an evaluation period: it works for a while, then warns you on screen and starts rebooting itself at short intervals. The second licensing layer shows up once more than one person uses the machine. Windows Server accepts two simultaneous administrative sessions by default, which covers the owner and a technician. Going beyond that requires enabling the Remote Desktop Services role and licensing access per user, a software decision rather than a hosting plan one. ## Windows eats part of the plan before your application comes up A lean Linux install sits at a few hundred megabytes with the machine idle. Windows Server keeps a graphical interface and a long queue of services loaded with nobody connected, so compare plans by what is left free. 4GB is the comfortable floor for one user and 8GB the step up once a database, many tabs or a second session arrive: on the table that is the difference between R$ 43 and R$ 77 on the Xeon line, or between R$ 52 and R$ 94 on the Ryzen Budget one. The processor is rarely the bottleneck in RDP use. The disk usually is: Windows writes all the time to logs, indexing, the paging file and updates. That is where NVMe changes how the machine feels, because the short freezes in the middle of your work come from slow storage, not from missing cores. ## An open port 3389 is scanned within hours As soon as the machine gets a public IP, bots start looking for port 3389. It is not a targeted attack: a compromised Windows server becomes a base for mining, spam and reselling access, so the scanning is indiscriminate. Dozens of login attempts a day is normal behaviour for any public IP, not a sign that you became a target. The defence is built in layers and none of them is enough on its own. A long, unique password on the Administrator account, a firewall opening the port only to your address when the IP is fixed, the default port changed to cut the noise of automated scanning, Network Level Authentication demanding a credential before the server even draws the login screen, and a temporary account lockout after failed attempts. Then open Event Viewer: the failed logons carry time and origin, and they work as a thermometer of your exposure. ## When RDP will not connect, the console is the way out Every restrictive firewall rule carries the same risk: one scope typed wrong and you lock yourself outside. The same goes for a changed port written down wrong, a lost password and an update that hangs the boot. The graphical console in the panel solves those cases because the image comes from the hypervisor, not from a service inside Windows: it keeps working with the system network blocked and shows even the startup screen. The console does not replace RDP day to day. It streams raw video, responds slowly and usually has no shared clipboard or folder mapping, so treat it as a rescue tool. If the screen comes up black, it is usually the virtual monitor resting: click inside it and press an ordinary key. Infrastructure ## What is already sorted out * Windows Server 2019 or 2022 written from a template, with no ISO to upload by hand. * The Administrator user and the initial password in your own client area, with no second login. * A graphical console wired to the hypervisor, which works even with RDP down. Use cases ## Who really needs Windows * A trading terminal or order bot that only exists in a Windows build and has to stay up through the session. * A commercial system, an ERP or a .NET application on IIS that the company is not going to rewrite. * A disposable test environment, to install, break and reinstall without touching your work machine. * Spreadsheet automation and scheduled tasks that depend on a program with a graphical interface. Optimization ## How to size it without overpaying * Compare plans by what is left free once the system has loaded, not by the total you are buying. * An open browser is the biggest memory consumer in an RDP session: go up one RAM step if your workflow lives in tabs. * Close abandoned sessions: whoever shuts the window without logging off leaves memory taken on the other side. Tech sheet ## Windows VPS spec sheet Available systems Windows Server 2019 and 2022 Chosen at checkout or applied later by reinstalling from the panel. Ways in RDP on port 3389 and a graphical console The console sits on the service page, with no separate login. Minimum recommended RAM 4GB The floor for one user. Go to 8GB with a database or several sessions. Price of the 4GB plan R$ 43/month on Xeon and R$ 52/month on Ryzen Budget Xeon delivers more vCPU per real; Ryzen, more performance per core. Activation Up to 60 seconds after payment is confirmed Writing the Windows template takes a few minutes on top of that. Comparison ## Windows Server or Linux on the same VPS The choice of system weighs more than the choice of plan. Compare by what each side charges you in memory, access and licensing. | Item | Windows Server | Linux | | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- | | Consumption with the machine idle | A graphical interface and services loaded all the time | A lean install at a few hundred megabytes | | How you get in | Remote Desktop on port 3389, a screen just like a PC | SSH on port 22, a command line | | System licence | Depends on the plan, confirm before installing | The distributions used charge no licence | | RAM floor in practice | 4GB for one comfortable user | 2GB already covers a site, an API and a network service | If the only reason to pick Windows is familiarity, Linux comes out cheaper for the same performance. If there is a program that only runs on Windows, the conversation ends here. ## Frequently asked questions 01 Do I need to buy the Windows licence separately? It depends on the plan. In many cases the licence comes with the Windows VPS you buy, but confirm it on the product page or with support before installing. With no activation, the system stays in evaluation mode, which expires and then starts rebooting the machine by itself. 02 How many people can use the Windows VPS at the same time? Windows Server accepts two simultaneous administrative sessions by default. Above that you need to enable the Remote Desktop Services role and license access per user. Each active session still adds memory usage. 03 How much RAM does Windows use on its own? Enough to change your maths: the graphical interface and the services stay loaded even with nobody connected. 4GB is the comfortable floor for one user and 8GB the step up when there is a database, several tabs or more than one session. 04 I lost RDP access. How do I get into the machine? Through the graphical console in the panel, which streams the screen straight from the hypervisor and depends on neither the network nor the Windows firewall. From there you fix the rule that blocked access, reset the Administrator password or watch a stuck boot. 05 Can I switch from Windows to Linux later? Yes, reinstalling with another template is done from the panel itself, with no ticket to open. The switch formats the disk and erases everything on the VPS, so back up before confirming.
