Windows Server 2025, 2022 and 2019 in Mumbai, the nearest of our three regions to India, on the AMD EPYC 4584PX at up to 5.7 GHz with DDR5 memory and NVMe storage. Remote Desktop traffic passes 17 Tbps of upstream mitigation and Prism before Windows sees it, and choosing Windows adds nothing to the plan price.

Windows Server, on a machine you administer. A KVM virtual machine with full Administrator access, reached over Remote Desktop.
3 versions of Windows Server
2025, 2022 and 2019, in the Standard edition. Pick 2022 or 2019 in the store's OS Image group when you order; 2025 is in the panel's reinstall list. A reinstall erases the disk. These are server editions: there is no Windows 10 or 11 image. All 47 images
Nothing added at checkout
The operating system has no price of its own, so a plan costs the same with Windows Server as with Linux. Licensing questions about your own use go to sales. Email sales
Install what you need
You are Administrator on your own virtual machine: install software with winget or its own installer, and Windows roles such as IIS with Install-WindowsFeature.
A console for when Remote Desktop will not answer
The console is a screen attached to the machine, so it still works when Windows Firewall or Remote Desktop is what went wrong. Console access

Who Mumbai serves. 11 cities across South Asia and the Gulf, each with its distance to Mumbai and to Singapore.
All 11 are nearer Mumbai than Singapore or Limburg
India, and its neighbours Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Bhutan. Mumbai is the only one of the three regions on the subcontinent. The table runs from Ahmedabad, 440 km from Mumbai, to Dubai at 1,935 km.
A physical floor, not a promise
Each distance is great-circle, city centre to city centre. The floor is that distance there and back at 200,000 km/s, the speed of light in fibre: no connection can be faster, and real routes are longer. It is a physical floor, not a measured or promised ping.
Choose by who connects
For a remote desktop or a trading terminal, that is you and your team; for a .NET app or a game server, your users. Users mostly in Southeast Asia? See the Singapore page

Remote Desktop, checked before Windows sees it. Prism has a validator for the Remote Desktop protocol. Settings inside Windows stop the rest.
A rule for TCP 3389, with protocol validation on
A new server lets ports without a rule through, so Remote Desktop answers from the start. Add a rule for it anyway: rate limits and protocol checks only apply to a port that has one. Protocol validation is off on a rule you add by hand; switch it on once you can test a connection. Protocol validation
Block one address at the edge
Block IP on the Firewall tab drops everything from an address or range before it reaches the server. The whitelist is not an access list: it lets a source skip rate limits and behavioural filtering, and closes the port to no one. Blocking and allowing IPs
A stable address to scope to
Scoping Remote Desktop to your own address needs an address that does not change, such as a VPN you run on another server. VPN and remote desktop
Before it reaches Windows
Upstream mitigationUpstream
Drops floods too big for the link.
17 Tbps of mitigation capacity, the same on every plan.
Layer 3, the addressPrism
Drops blocked sources and malformed packets, at the lowest possible cost.
Block IP on the Firewall tab adds an address or range to the blocked sources, with an optional expiry.
Layer 4, the transportPrism
Drops spoofed and stateless floods, and traffic above the ceilings on your port rules.
On a TCP rule, the TCP fingerprint engine also drops SYNs whose TCP stack fingerprint looks forged.
Layer 7, Remote DesktopPrism, on your rule
Drops traffic on the port that does not speak the Remote Desktop protocol.
Off on a rule you add by hand: switch Protocol validation (L7) on once you can test a connection.

Inside Windows, set by you
Windows Firewall scopeWindows
Drops every address outside the scope you give the Remote Desktop rules.
The change with the largest effect in the hardening guide.
Network Level AuthenticationWindows
Drops clients that cannot sign in before Windows builds them a session.
On by default on current Windows Server images. Check rather than assume.
Account lockoutWindows
Drops password guessing past the threshold.
The guide's example locks an account for 15 minutes after 10 failures within 15 minutes.
Your own admin accountWindows
Drops attempts that guess Administrator with passwords from leaked lists.
Disable or rename the built-in Administrator once your own account works, and use a long random password nothing else uses.
Your Remote Desktop session
Your first hour on a new Windows server. Four help center guides, in the order to follow them.
1
Connect
Download the .rdp file from Quick connect on the server's overview and sign in as Administrator with the password from your activation email. Connecting to your server
2
Change the password, then patch
Port 3389 is scanned continuously and the attempts try Administrator first, so the emailed password goes before anything else. Then the time zone, the hostname, Windows Update, and a look at what is listening. First steps on Windows
3
Harden Remote Desktop
Your own admin account, Network Level Authentication, a lockout policy, and the Remote Desktop rules in Windows Firewall scoped to your addresses. Keep the console open while you work: a wrong scope ends the session you are typing in. Hardening Remote Desktop, Windows Firewall
4
Install software that stays running
winget installs in one line, the Visual C++ redistributables head off a whole class of startup failures, and a service or a startup task keeps a program running after you sign out and after a reboot. Installing software

Locked out, or the password is lost? Console access and resetting the password are the ways back in. Licensing questions: email sales.
Is a Windows licence included in the price?
Choosing a Windows Server image adds nothing at checkout: the operating system has no price of its own, so a plan costs the same with Windows Server as with Linux. For licensing questions about how you will use Windows, email sales at contact@clouduxe.com.
Which versions of Windows Server can I install?
Windows Server 2025, 2022 and 2019, in the Standard edition. Pick 2022 or 2019 in the store's OS Image group when you order; 2025 is in the panel's reinstall list. A reinstall erases the disk. These are server editions: there is no Windows 10 or 11 image.
How much memory does a Windows VPS need?
Windows Server uses more memory for itself than a minimal Linux install, so we start Windows jobs on Mini (4 GB) rather than Nano (2 GB). A remote desktop or a trading terminal starts there, a .NET app with its database on Starter (6 GB), and a game server on whatever the calculator gives for its game and player count.
Is Remote Desktop protected from DDoS attacks?
Yes, like every port. Traffic passes 17 Tbps of upstream mitigation capacity, then Clouduxe Prism on the host, which has a validator for the Remote Desktop protocol. Protocol validation is off on a rule you add by hand: add a rule for TCP 3389 and switch it on once you can test a connection. Real sign-in attempts do speak the protocol, so harden Remote Desktop inside Windows as well.
Can I run a game server on a Windows VPS?
Yes. Size it by game and player count with the calculator on this page: FiveM with 48 players starts on FusionCore. Open the game's ports in both places, a Windows Firewall rule on the server and a port rule in the panel, so the port's rate limits and protocol checks apply. The help center also recommends the Visual C++ redistributables on any server that runs a game server.
Should I move Remote Desktop off port 3389?
It makes your logs quieter, not your server safer: a scan of every port finds the new one in seconds. If you move it, add a panel rule for the new port, or its rate limits and protocol checks do not apply, and keep the password, Network Level Authentication, lockout and address scope doing the real work.
Mumbai or Singapore for users in Bangladesh?
Mumbai, by 995 km. Dhaka is 1,889 km from Mumbai and 2,884 km from Singapore, so a round trip can be no shorter than 18.9 ms to Mumbai, against 28.8 ms to Singapore. Floors are light in fibre over the great-circle distance, not measured pings: real routes are longer.
Is Mumbai a good fit for users in Dubai and the Gulf?
For Dubai, Mumbai is the nearest of the three regions: 1,935 km, against 4,888 km to Limburg and 5,836 km to Singapore. The round trip from Dubai can be no shorter than 19.3 ms. Floors are light in fibre over the great-circle distance, not measured pings: real routes are longer.
Pick a size, then Windows Server at checkout.
The image adds nothing to the plan price, and every plan has 17 Tbps of upstream mitigation, Prism on the host and the 99.99% SLA. The Deploy buttons on this page order in Mumbai.
