Our verdict on IONOS Windows VPS

IONOS Windows VPS provides virtual private servers for web servers, mail servers, shop servers, development environments, and other commercial or non-commercial projects. Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2025 environments are accessed through Remote Desktop Protocol, while administration takes place in the IONOS Cloud Panel. The service is aimed at users who need Windows compatibility, root control, and more dedicated resources than a basic shared environment.

The four plans scale clearly by compute and storage. Windows M+ costs $25 per month with annual billing and includes 2 vCores, 4 GB RAM, and 120 GB NVMe storage. Windows L+ costs $49 per month for 4 vCores, 8 GB RAM, and 240 GB NVMe. Windows XL+ is $94 per month for 8 vCores, 16 GB RAM, and 480 GB NVMe, while Windows XXL+ costs $138 per month for 12 vCores, 24 GB RAM, and 720 GB NVMe. All plans include unlimited traffic, and the entry price applies only with annual billing.

The platform combines full root access with customizable firewall controls, DDoS protection, IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack connectivity, and point-in-time server images for recovery. Optional Plesk administration can add a more guided management layer, while optional Cloud Backup is available separately. This makes the service a good fit for administrators who want control over Windows workloads and can manage an unmanaged server. It is less suitable for buyers seeking month-to-month billing, included backups, or fully managed administration.
