Compare Windows VPS hosting
Windows servers cost more than the same hardware running Linux, because somebody has to pay for the licence. Comparing the two in one table would be misleading, so they live here instead, priced on the same basis as the rest of the site: GBP a month, UK VAT and any paid IPv4 included, and the Windows licence included too, whether the provider bundles it or bills it on top.

How the licence is handled
Providers split roughly two ways. Most bundle the Windows licence into the plan price, so a Windows box simply costs more than the Linux one beside it: an AWS Lightsail bundle at $5 a month on Linux is $9.50 on Windows, and that $4.50 is the licence. Others quote a Linux price and add the licence at checkout.
Either way the figure in this table is what you pay. Where a provider bills the licence separately we add it, the same way we add a chargeable IPv4 address, and the plan's own page itemises it. A price here is never a Linux price with the licence left off.
Common questions
Why are Windows plans in their own tab?
Because a licence makes them several pounds a month dearer than identical hardware running Linux. Listed together, Windows plans would fill the bottom of every "cheapest VPS" list and make the Linux ones look worse than they are. Separating them keeps both comparisons honest.
Does the price include a Windows Server licence?
Yes. Every figure here covers the licence, whether the provider bundles it or charges for it. Remote Desktop CALs, SQL Server and other Microsoft licensing are not included: those are bought separately and priced per user or per core.
Can I bring my own licence?
Some providers allow it under Microsoft's License Mobility terms, which can work out cheaper if you already own Software Assurance. The prices here are the standard pay-as-you-go ones, since that is what is published.
Do providers pay to be listed or ranked?
No. Every provider we track is listed, and plans are sorted by price. Some "View deal" links may earn us a commission, and those are labelled "Ad", but they never change the order. Affiliate disclosure.
