Questions

Windows in Johannesburg, answered.

How much does a Windows VPS in Johannesburg cost?
From $49.90 a month for C2-4-150 (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM), with the Windows Server license included in that price. The largest of the 4 sizes here is C16-32 at $260.90 a month. The figure on this page is the figure the cart charges; there is no license line added at checkout.
Which Windows versions can I choose?
Windows Server 2022 or 2019, Standard edition, English. You pick the version in the configurator; a clean image with nothing preinstalled beyond Windows itself.
How do I connect?
Remote Desktop. The machine listens on port 3389 from the moment it finishes its first boot. Sign in as Administrator with the password in your client area; it is set when the machine is created, so it is the password that actually works. Change it after the first login.
Is the license really included?
Yes. On the platform that builds our Johannesburg machines the Windows Server image carries its own licensing, and we pay the same for a Windows machine as for a Linux one. That is why the price here matches the Linux price for the same size. It is a Standard edition server license, activated by the platform; it is not a desktop Windows and it does not include Office or RDS user CALs.
Why is there no 2 GB option in Johannesburg?
Windows Server needs more memory than a small Linux box. We do not sell Windows on anything under 4 GB of RAM because the result is a machine that spends its life swapping, and a machine that cannot be used is not a cheaper machine.
Can I pay by the hour?
Yes. Every size here can be billed by the hour, from $0.0684/hr: deploy, test your software, and destroy it when you are done.
What do I get access to?
Full Administrator on a dedicated IPv4, power controls, reinstall and password reset from the client area, and the same support people who built it. No browser console: that rides on an ssh key, which a Windows machine does not carry.
