Windows Server licensing on dedicated hardware works differently from VPS licensing. On dedicated servers, you have the option to bring your own Windows license (BYOL) or purchase licensing through AnubizHost. BYOL is the recommended approach for clients who already have Windows Server licenses through volume licensing agreements, as it reduces the total monthly cost significantly.
AnubizHost provisions Windows Server 2019 or 2022 Datacenter edition on your dedicated hardware. The installation includes all standard Windows Server roles and features. Remote Desktop Services, IIS, MSSQL Server, and other Windows-native services are available and fully configurable after provisioning.
Hardware specifications for Windows dedicated servers match our Linux configurations. Modern CPUs, ECC RAM, NVMe storage, and 1Gbps uplinks are standard. Windows requires more RAM than Linux for equivalent workloads, so we recommend starting with at least 32GB RAM for production Windows servers.
