Do you need to install Windows on your VPS? Usually you’d go to your provider’s panel and install a template, or perhaps boot from an ISO. But what if neither of those are options?
Can you somehow “shim” Windows onto a VPS?
Yes!
And LowEndTalk member @javimuse has a step-by-step guide for you.
You can use it on systems like these:
- OVH VPS “VLE-4” ~ 11USD/Mo – 4 vCore | 4 GB | 80 GB SSD NVMe | 1 Gbps
- ONEPROVIDER ~ 10USD/Mo – Atom C2350 1.7 GHz 2c/2t | 4 GB DDR3 | 1× 250 GB (SSD SATA) | 1 Gbps
- HETZNER ~ €3.29/Mo (NO VIRTUALIZATION CPU) – 2 vCore | 4 GB | 40 GB SSD NVMe | 1 Gbps @ 20TB
- HETZNER ~ €6.30/Mo (NO VIRTUALIZATION CPU) – 4 vCore | 8 GB | 80 GB SSD NVMe | 1 Gbps @ 20TB
@javimuse says “I managed to install Windows Server on my OVH VPS without KVM/iLO or IPMI just 4GB of RAM so here is my tutorial (theoretically it should work for all suppliers who provides a LINUX/UBUNTU RESCUE IMAGE).”
Now if you’re really planning to run Windows hard, you’ll want more than 4GB of RAM. But it’s exciting you can run it on such a small systems.
