Windows VPS Server

A virtual private server running the Windows Server operating system has both advantages and disadvantages in comparison with the Linux OS family. To begin with, Microsoft's axis is better optimized for the corporate segment, it is almost universally used to ensure the operation of corporate systems and networks formed on the basis of Windows XP and later versions. And all because of the large amount of proprietary software that has no analogs on Linux.

The main advantage of Windows VPS server is the maximum possible ease of management and administration, as well as a huge community and hundreds of manuals in different languages that will help you cope with any task. VPS running Windows is suitable for all those companies whose ecosystems have specialized software that uses libraries and parts of the Microsoft system core. In particular, we are talking about RDP technology, which is widely used to organize remote access of employees to servers.

Secondary advantages of a virtual private server with Windows include:

• the presence of a "lightweight" version without a graphical interface, which is not inferior to Linux distributions in terms of system resource consumption;
• high stability and fault tolerance;
• availability of qualified support.

In connection with all of the above, Windows Server VPS is often rented for the administration of the corporate intranet, as well as to ensure the operation of specialized software, the work of the MSSQL database, tools ASP.NET etc.

As for the disadvantages, there are three of them:

1. The license price is significantly higher than that of most Linux distributions.
2. The lack of flexible tools for fine-grained access control, taking into account any attributes of the user or device from which the connection originates.
3. Higher vulnerability to malware, and security problems in the absence of competent administration.
