Anonymous Windows Hosting — Windows Server, No KYC

Windows Server remains essential for many workloads — ASP.NET applications, SQL Server databases, Active Directory environments, and Windows-specific enterprise software. AnubizHost lets you run Windows Server on anonymous infrastructure without the identity requirements that Microsoft's own Azure cloud demands.

Our Windows VPS plans come pre-installed with Windows Server 2019 or 2022, fully activated and ready to use. Connect via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) from any Windows, macOS, or Linux client. You receive full Administrator access to install software, configure services, and manage the server exactly as you would on a physical Windows machine.

The Windows license is included in the plan pricing — no separate license purchase or Microsoft account required. We handle the licensing so you can run Windows Server without creating any account that links back to your identity. This is a significant privacy advantage over purchasing Windows licenses directly from Microsoft, which requires a Microsoft account with payment information.

Windows Server requires more resources than Linux, so our Windows plans start at 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM to ensure smooth operation. NVMe SSD storage ensures fast boot times, quick application loading, and responsive RDP sessions. Even complex Windows applications launch quickly on our NVMe-backed infrastructure.

RDP performance depends heavily on network latency between your client and the server. We optimize our network routing for the lowest possible latency to major population centers, ensuring smooth and responsive RDP sessions. From Western Europe, typical RDP latency to our Netherlands datacenter is under 20ms — indistinguishable from a local machine for most desktop tasks.

• Windows Server 2019 Standard or 2022 Standard
• Windows 10 or 11 Pro available on request
• Starting at 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 60 GB NVMe SSD
• Full Administrator access via RDP
• License included — no Microsoft account needed
• Scaling up to 16 vCPU, 64 GB RAM for demanding workloads

Software development and testing on Windows often requires isolated environments. Anonymous Windows VPS instances provide clean testing environments where you can install, test, and discard software without any trail. Test Windows applications, browser compatibility, or Windows-specific APIs without linking development activities to your identity.

Running proprietary Windows applications that require a graphical interface benefits from RDP access to a powerful remote server. Accounting software, trading platforms, CAD applications, and other Windows-only tools run on always-on infrastructure with better hardware than most desktops, accessible from any device with an RDP client.

Automated tasks and bots that require a Windows environment — browser automation, data collection, trading algorithms, and monitoring systems — run reliably on always-on Windows VPS infrastructure. Unlike a home computer that might lose connectivity or need rebooting, a VPS maintains 99.9% uptime with automatic recovery from any transient issues.

Windows Server security on anonymous infrastructure requires attention to the same fundamentals as any Windows deployment, with additional focus on RDP hardening. Change the default RDP port from 3389 to reduce automated scanning traffic. Enable Network Level Authentication (NLA) to require credentials before establishing a full RDP session. Use strong, unique passwords or deploy certificate-based authentication.

Windows Firewall should be configured to allow only necessary inbound connections. Enable Windows Update for automatic security patches — Microsoft releases critical patches on the second Tuesday of each month, and delaying these updates exposes your server to known vulnerabilities. Windows Defender provides adequate baseline antivirus protection at no additional cost.

For enhanced security, consider using a VPN or SSH tunnel for RDP access rather than exposing the RDP port to the public internet. This adds an authentication layer before the RDP protocol is even reachable, significantly reducing the attack surface. WireGuard or OpenVPN can be installed on the Windows server itself, or you can use a separate Linux VPN gateway.
