Dedicated Windows Server

A dedicated server is not an "expensive VPS", but the entire rack in the data center is just for you. No noisy neighbors, no LVE restrictions. Your IIS, your MS SQL, your 64 cores.

Update when:

  • The VPS drops due to the load of your 1C-Bitrix;
  • Do you need a Remote Desktop for 50+ users;
  • MS SQL consumes more than 8 GB of RAM.

What are Windows Dedicated Servers?

This is a physical server in a data center rack that runs the Windows Server OS family (2016/2019/2022/2025). The entire hardware resource is yours alone.

ParameterVirtual Machine (VPS/KVM)Dedicated server
ProcessorThe share of the host (20-80%)100% of the physical core
Random access memoryShared with neighbors through the hostOnly yours, with ECC correction
Disk systemVirtual disk on the host RAIDA physical NVMe/SSD with your RAID
Noisy neighborsThere is (even with KVM — impact on IOPS)No
Remote DesktopSlow (through the hypervisor layer)Straight, like in your office

Why should you consider dedicated servers running Windows?

Because Linux won't run 1C, MS SQL, Exchange, SharePoint, and your legacy ASP.NET on .NET Framework 4.8.

1

Performance without compromise

There is no concept of "burst CPU" or "fair share". If you have 16 cores, you use all 16.

The NVMe drive runs at full PCIe 4.0 speeds of up to 6 GB/s.

Error—correcting RAM (ECC) - Your server will not crash due to a broken bit in RAM.

2

Full control

Remote Desktop (RDP) with administrator rights. You can install any software, even SQLServer Management Studio, Visual Studio, or your own binary.

You choose the Windows version yourself: servers 2016, 2019, 2022, 2025.

Is the hypervisor inside? Easy: install Hyper-V and run 10 more virtual machines on your hardware.

3

Safety and isolation

No Spectre/Meltdown penalties from neighbors (this is when the hypervisor slows everyone down due to vulnerabilities).

Hardware TPM 2.0 — you can enable BitLocker on disks.

A dedicated block of IP addresses (/29 or /28). No one will receive your session over a "noisy" IP.

4

Available OS and configurations

Windows servers 2016, 2019, 2022, 2025 — from 6 to 128 cores.

Dedicated Windows Servers from Ready VPS features and benefits

  • Global data centers — USA, Germany, Netherlands, Poland. You choose a location for your audience.
  • Uninterrupted operation — N+1 power supply, diesel generators, cooling with redundancy. SLA 99.99% = maximum 4 minutes of downtime per month.
  • Instant deployment — from ready-made configurations, your server is operational 3 hours after payment. Under the order — up to 5 days.
  • The affordable price starts from € 49/month for Config 92 with Windows server 2025.
When and why should you upgrade from a VPS to a Dedicated server?

Update if at least 2 items from the list below are about you. Indicators that your VPS is no longer dragging:

  • CPU ready (steal time) > 10% according to data from the task manager.
  • MS SQL crashes with the "Insufficient memory" error with 32 GB of RAM on the UPU.
  • Your users are complaining about the "brakes in RDP" at exactly 18:00 (rush hour for neighbors).
  • You pay more than 50 €/month for an UPU (the threshold after which your server is cheaper).

FAQ:

What is the difference between an UPU server and a Dedicated Windows Server?

VPS — hypervisor share, resources are shared. Dedik — all the hardware is yours. Analogy: renting a room in a communal apartment vs renting the whole house.

At peak load, + 50% of the reserve. Measure on the old server: CPU 40%, RAM 12 GB. Take a plan with 8 cores / 24 GB.

No. If you don't know how to work in IIS, RDP, AD DS and configure access rights, start with UPU or managed hosting.

Slow disk; long database queries; user quits. On a dedicated server, the response time is 3-5 times lower than on a shared server.

Is it difficult to manage a dedicated Windows server?

Medium. You need to be able to: install updates, set up backups, monitor the event log.

Because you pay for: physical hardware, ECC memory, backup power, disk replacement.

From ready—made configurations - up to 3 hours. Custom-made (assembly, OS installation, RAID configuration) — up to 5 working days.

Yes. 2016, 2019, 2022, 2025 to choose from.

Conclusion

A dedicated server is a tool for your business that has outgrown the cloud sandbox.

Take it if:

  • You have 1C, MS SQL, Exchange, SharePoint, .NET Framework applications.
  • Your workload is predictable and consistently high (for example, 500+ RDP sessions).

Don't take it if:

  • You have 3 pages on WordPress.
  • You don't know how to work with dedicated servers and don't want to learn.
