This support request is being escalated to our VPS admins.

We can do that for you. Be aware that Windows Server comes with a 180 day free trial, after that you must pay for a license to continue using it.

Let us know if you need any data backed up and we can continue.

it is a new vps so no need for backup

Also send an email from the email associated with this VPS account so we can verify your identity.

Do you want Windows Server 2025? Also are you aware that after the 180 days of trial you must provide your own legally obtained license, such as from https://www.mychoicesoftware.com/products/microsoft-windows-server-2025-standard-16-core-license which costs about $650 USD? We can also install Windows Server 2022 which is slightly cheaper license https://www.mychoicesoftware.com/products/microsoft-windows-server-2022-standard-16-core-license which is "only" $510 USD. Since you're posting from a forum account that doesn't match the VPS email address we'll also need to verify your email address like MoneyBroz said before we can change the OS. The easiest way to do that is to send an email to support@heliohost.org from the email address you used to pay for the VPS.

Just the same as the OS and SQL Server that was on my VPS113, thank you

I don't have the access to the email of my client, but I can send the screenshot of the email that was sent to me of the purchase

Ok, you can prove ownership by logging in to VPS8 SSH and running this command

echo "WXt7FNdBhLCh6aUhAbwL" > /home/hpgtech/verify.txt

Let us know once you're done.
