Running Windows Server 2025 on a Transcom VPS
Alongside the Linux distributions, every Transcom VPS tier can run Windows Server 2025. Because the platform is true KVM virtualisation with full root (Administrator) access, a Windows VPS behaves like a real Windows server, not a restricted appliance.
That opens up workloads that need the Microsoft stack:
- .NET and ASP.NET applications on IIS
- SQL Server workloads
- Windows-only line-of-business software
- Remote Desktop access to a Windows environment
- Build or test agents that must target Windows
A few practical notes:
- Windows wants more memory than a comparable Linux box, so start at a tier with headroom — the HA-4G or above is a sensible floor, and database or Remote Desktop use will want more.
- You reach a fresh Windows install through the NoVNC web console before RDP is configured, which is also your way back in if networking or the firewall locks you out.
- Storage-heavy Windows roles (file servers, large SQL datasets) pair well with the HV-8G and its 1 TB of NVMe.
There's no contract, so you can spin up Windows Server 2025 for a short project and cancel when you're done.
