OVHcloud Windows VPS review
A high-resource, unmanaged Windows VPS with backups, snapshots, and flexible scaling.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
OVHcloud Windows VPS provides dedicated virtual server environments with a pre-installed Windows operating system, scalable configurations, and full root access. It is aimed at customers running websites, applications, development environments, and other projects that need a configurable Windows server. The published category details show Windows Server 2025 as an operating-system option. Customers manage the operating system and applications themselves through the OVHcloud Control Panel, API, and server administration tools, making this a better fit for users comfortable with server administration than for buyers seeking a fully managed service.
Pricing starts with VPS-2 at £6.29 per month, billed monthly, with 4 vCores, 8 GB RAM, 75 GB SSD NVMe storage, unlimited traffic, 1 Gbps public bandwidth, and daily backup of the previous 24 hours. VPS-3 costs £9.01 per month and increases capacity to 6 vCores, 12 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD NVMe storage, and 2 Gbps public bandwidth. VPS-4 costs £17.34 per month and provides 8 vCores, 24 GB RAM, 200 GB SSD NVMe storage, and 3 Gbps public bandwidth. Prices are shown in GBP for the UK site and exclude VAT; the Windows operating-system option has a separate displayed charge.
The service’s strongest fit is for resource-heavy Windows workloads that benefit from NVMe storage, unlimited traffic, daily automated backups, snapshots, premium backup options, and scalable resources. OVHcloud API access supports automation, while Plesk and cPanel provide additional administration options. The trade-off is the unmanaged model: customers remain responsible for operating-system and application administration. Choose OVHcloud Windows VPS when server control, backup coverage, and scalable capacity matter most; choose a managed alternative when ongoing administration should be handled for you.
