What is a Windows dedicated server?
A Windows dedicated server is a whole physical machine rented by one customer and running Windows Server, so no other tenant shares its CPU, memory, disks or network port. WebJi® builds each one on Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC hardware with Windows Server 2019, 2022 or 2025 Standard, licensed under Microsoft SPLA. It belongs to the wider dedicated server India range, alongside Linux and fully managed options.
- Administrator RDP: full Remote Desktop access from first boot.
- IPMI / iKVM console: out-of-band control when Windows itself will not respond.
- RAID-1 or RAID-10 NVMe: mirrored storage configured at provisioning.
- IIS ready: web server role installed for ASP.NET and .NET applications.
- Optional extras: Plesk panel, MSSQL, a /29 IPv4 block on request, fully managed administration.
Which workloads need a Windows dedicated server?
A Windows dedicated server is the right fit when the software only runs on Windows and the load is too steady or too disk-heavy to share a host. Typical cases are Microsoft-stack applications where both conditions hold at once.
| Workload | Why Windows | Why dedicated rather than VPS |
|---|---|---|
| ASP.NET Framework web apps | Classic .NET Framework runs on IIS, not Linux | Steady traffic keeps CPU busy around the clock |
| Microsoft SQL Server databases | MSSQL is licensed and tuned for Windows Server | Guaranteed disk IOPS with no neighbour queue |
| In-house ERP or accounting suites | Many Indian business packages ship as Windows installers | Predictable response for every office user |
| Multi-user remote desktop | Staff log in to a shared Windows desktop | RAM and CPU are not split with other customers |
| Your own Hyper-V virtual machines | Hyper-V is a built-in Windows Server role | Virtualisation needs the physical host |
How is a Windows dedicated server priced in India?
WebJi® quotes every Windows dedicated server per configuration in INR, with 18% GST added on the invoice and the full figure shown before you pay. The quote separates hardware from Microsoft licensing, which is why a Windows box costs more than the same hardware on Linux: the Windows Server licence, and any MSSQL or CALs, are extra lines that Linux does not carry.
| Sample configuration | Specs | Best for | Order |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows DS | Xeon · 32 GB ECC · NVMe storage · Windows Server license + MSSQL option | MSSQL / ASP.NET workloads | Get Custom Quote → |
- Hardware: processor, ECC RAM, NVMe array and port.
- Windows Server licence: SPLA, billed with the server.
- MSSQL (optional): the edition you need, priced into the quote.
- CALs (if required): for example remote desktop user licences.
- Plesk and management (optional): listed separately so you can drop them.
Terms can be monthly, quarterly or annual, and the renewal price is disclosed in the same quote.
Which Windows Server edition and version should you choose?
Windows Server Standard is the practical edition for almost every dedicated server, and Windows Server 2025 gives the longest support runway. Standard includes every server role plus rights for two virtual instances; Datacenter only pays off when you plan to run many VMs on one host; Essentials caps users and roles and rarely suits a dedicated machine.
| Version | Extended support ends | When to pick it |
|---|---|---|
| Windows Server 2019 | 2029 | Only when an application vendor certifies nothing newer |
| Windows Server 2022 | 2031 (mainstream support ended October 2026) | Existing 2022 estates you want to match |
| Windows Server 2025 | 2034 | New builds by default |
Support dates are from Microsoft's product lifecycle pages. Extended support means security updates continue; new features stop at the end of mainstream support.
Windows dedicated server vs Linux dedicated or a Windows VPS
Choose a Windows dedicated server only when Windows is required and bare metal is required; if either condition is missing, a cheaper option fits. The hardware is the same family across the range, so the decision is about the software and the load.
- If your stack is PHP, Python, Node.js or .NET running on Linux, then a Linux dedicated server avoids the Windows licence line entirely.
- If the application is Windows-only but uses little CPU, then a Windows VPS costs less and can be upgraded to dedicated later.
- If nobody on your team administers Windows Server, then a managed dedicated server hands patching and monitoring to WebJi® engineers.
- If a VPS already sits above 80% CPU most of the day, then bare metal usually costs less per unit of performance.
RDP and IPMI: the two ways into a Windows dedicated server
RDP is how you work on the running Windows desktop; IPMI is how you reach the machine when Windows has crashed, frozen or will not boot. Both are included on every WebJi® dedicated server.
- Administrator RDP
- Remote Desktop into Windows Server with full rights over roles, software and settings. Windows allows two simultaneous administrative sessions; more users need Remote Desktop Services CALs.
- IPMI / iKVM
- A separate management controller on the motherboard that gives a browser console, power on and off, and an OS reinstall without a ticket to the data centre.
How to order a Windows dedicated server from WebJi®
Ordering is a quote-first process: you describe the workload, WebJi® prices hardware and licences, and provisioning starts after you approve the figure.
- Open a ticket through the custom quote form or email support@webji.services with the application, user count and database size.
- Receive a quote listing hardware, Windows Server version, MSSQL edition, CALs and the renewal price.
- Approve and pay; the server is built with RAID configured and IIS installed.
- Migration from your current host is free in a maintenance window you choose, subject to the migration terms.

Frequently asked questions
Does Windows Server 2022 still get security updates?
Yes. Mainstream support for Windows Server 2022 ended in October 2026, but Microsoft continues security updates under extended support until 2031. New features now go only to Windows Server 2025, which is the default for new WebJi® builds.
How many people can use RDP on the server at once?
Two administrators can be connected at the same time without extra licences. If staff need their own desktop sessions, Remote Desktop Services must be set up with RDS CALs, and WebJi® adds those to the quote for the number of users you name.
Is SQL Server Express enough, or do I need a paid MSSQL edition?
SQL Server Express is free but limits each database to 10 GB and uses only a small share of the server's CPU and memory. Production ERP or e-commerce databases usually need Standard; tell support your database size and the right edition is priced into the quote.
Can I run my own Hyper-V virtual machines on it?
Yes. Hyper-V is a built-in Windows Server role and runs directly on the physical host. A Standard licence covers two Windows virtual instances; if you need many more, ask for a Datacenter quote instead.
Can I install Plesk later instead of at order time?
Yes. Plesk is an optional add-on for managing several sites, and it can be added after delivery once you know you need it. Without Plesk you manage IIS and other roles directly over RDP; cPanel does not run on Windows.
