Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
HSJ Host Windows VPS provides cloud-based Windows Server instances for Australian businesses running Remote Desktop workflows, .NET applications, internal tools, and line-of-business software. Each plan includes Windows Server OS, full administrator/root access, dedicated CPU, RAM and SSD resources, DDoS protection, a dedicated IP address, and a 99% uptime SLA. Deployment is available in Sydney, Melbourne, and global data-centre locations, making the service a fit for organisations with Australian hosting requirements.
The published plans scale from Cloud Compute 1 Windows through Cloud Compute 6 Windows. Cloud Compute 1 includes 80GB SSD storage, 2 CPU, 4GB RAM, and 3TB bandwidth. Cloud Compute 2 adds 160GB SSD, 4 CPU, 8GB RAM, and 4TB bandwidth. Cloud Compute 3 provides 320GB SSD, 6 CPU, 16GB RAM, and 5TB bandwidth. Cloud Compute 4 offers 640GB SSD, 8 CPU, 32GB RAM, and 6TB bandwidth. Cloud Compute 5 includes 1280GB SSD, 16 CPU, 64GB RAM, and 10TB bandwidth, while Cloud Compute 6 reaches 1600GB SSD, 24 CPU, 96GB RAM, and 15TB bandwidth. Pricing starts at AUD 129.80, with GST included.
This is an unmanaged service at the application level. Customers handle application installation and maintenance unless additional managed help is arranged, while HSJ Host provides infrastructure support by phone, email, and ticket. That split suits technical teams wanting administrative control over Windows workloads without giving up infrastructure assistance. It is less suitable for organisations seeking fully managed application operations or a free entry tier. Choose HSJ Host for dedicated Windows VPS resources in Sydney or Melbourne; consider an alternative if application management is a core requirement.
