Astral Internet Windows VPS review
A managed Windows VPS for DNN, ASP.NET, and Microsoft application workloads.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
Astral Internet Windows VPS is a managed virtual private server offering for businesses, developers, and agencies running DNN, ASP.NET, .NET Core, IIS, Classic ASP, PHP, or Microsoft application workloads. It is designed for teams that need a Windows hosting environment with administrative access, database support, and resources suited to application deployment rather than basic shared hosting. The service operates on hosting infrastructure in Canada and supports web and Windows access.
The published Windows Server plan costs CAD 62.49 per month with monthly billing. It includes a managed Windows VPS, Plesk control panel, DNN support, SQL Server Express and MariaDB, RDP access, and unlimited bandwidth. The feature set also includes dedicated CPU and memory resources, NVMe storage, unlimited email accounts, Git access, a free SSL certificate, and automated backups. This gives advanced users a broad base for hosting DNN and Microsoft-oriented applications without selecting separate plans for these listed capabilities.
Its strongest fit is a business or development team that specifically needs managed Windows hosting, remote desktop access, Plesk, and DNN support. Technical support is available by phone, live chat, email, and ticket, adding several contact options for account and hosting questions. The trade-off is cost: CAD 62.49 per month is high for an adjacent offering, particularly when the need is limited to a simple website or a non-Windows workload. Choose it when the Windows application stack and managed VPS features justify the monthly price; consider a narrower or lower-cost hosting option for basic sites or platforms that do not depend on DNN, ASP.NET, or related Microsoft technologies.
