wolstech Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 We don't offer Windows 10 as a choice because you generally don't use a workstation OS for hosting things. That said, I'm sure it could be installed if that's what you need. Be aware though that we don't provide the required license for any Windows offerings. Windows Server usually comes with a trial period, not sure how long Win10 will run as a trial without a license as I've never had a reason to install it without a license already available. Either way, you have to purchase the appropriate licensing for it on your own and bring it with you. Windows 10 Pro is about $93 online at Walmart at the moment.
Krydos Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 Windows server 2019 with desktop experience is basically the same as Windows 10 anyways, but actually intended to be run on a vps. It has the same taskbar, same search thing, same start menu, same everything basically except it also comes with a lot of software that makes hosting a website easier. If you're planning on hosting a website though I strongly recommend using Linux. Windows is very slow in comparison on the same stats and the license costs like $500 compared to Linux being free forever. A $4 per month 2 GB memory Linux server would probably run Wordpress faster than like a $16 per month 6 GB Windows server. Besides you're already used to running Linux anyways, because Linux is what Tommy is running so converting your existing site to run on windows might be difficult. I'll install Windows 10 if you really want it, but I don't know why you would want it. If you stop paying for your vps, or your payment doesn't go through I will send out a reminder email at 3 or 4 days without payment giving you 24 hours to get a new payment set up. If you don't respond to that email asking for more time and don't get a new payment figured out your vps will be powered off after the 24 hours are up. Then if I still don't hear from your for 30 days after being powered off your vps will be deleted to make room for paying users. If you plan on taking a break from paying for your vps for more than 30 days please make sure you backup everything you need first. You don't have to log in to your vps at all if you don't want to. As long as the payment keeps coming your vps will remain online.
