Windows Server 2025 VPS Hosting in Uganda

Yes — it's Microsoft's current generally available server OS, released in late 2024, and it's what we recommend for new deployments that should outlive the older versions' support windows.

The newest license carries the highest rate, so each plan runs $2–$16/month above the same plan on Server 2022. In exchange you get the newest platform and roughly three extra years of support.

Microsoft supports Windows Server 2025 with extended support to October 2034 — the longest runway of any version we offer.

Yes. Connect over RDP with full administrator rights from the first boot. It's your server to configure however you like.

Yes. Plans are sized for SQL Server workloads with fast NVMe storage and generous RAM. SQL Server licensing is handled separately from the base Windows license — talk to sales for a sized quote.

Every plan supports on-demand snapshots and scheduled automated backups. Snapshot storage is billed per GB beyond your included allowance.

Yes — it is Microsoft's current generally available server release, and it is what we would suggest for new deployments meant to outlive the older versions' support windows. An existing workload whose vendor matrix points at 2019 or 2022 is a different question, and both of those have their own pages in the same Kampala region.

The newest licence carries the highest rate: UGX 11,200 per vCPU per month against UGX 9,300 for 2022, both on a four-core minimum — UGX 44,800 a month against UGX 37,200. That is UGX 7,600 a month, UGX 91,200 a year, in exchange for the current platform and roughly three additional years of support, to October 2034.

Microsoft's extended support runs to October 2034, the longest runway of any release we offer. Server 2022 runs to October 2031 and Server 2019 to January 2029.

It carries SMB file access over an encrypted QUIC connection made directly to the server, so a laptop outside the office can open a file share over the public internet without a VPN tunnel and without you running the concentrator one would need. In Uganda that is the difference between a field team in Gulu or Buliisa working from the same folder as head office and a field team emailing attachments to somebody who files them later. It is in Standard edition, so it is on every plan on this page.

Yes, on every plan, over RDP. Install what you like, configure IIS, open ports, add roles and features, apply your own security baseline on top of Microsoft's, join it to your own domain. There is no managed layer between you and the machine.

In ug-1a, our Kampala region — and on a Windows machine that means the whole volume: the application, the file shares, the exports, the mail archive and any local backup. That gives you data residency for Uganda's Data Protection and Privacy Act, and nothing moves out of the country without your instruction.

It settles the location, which is the part hosting can settle. Registration with the Personal Data Protection Office as a collector, processor or controller remains yours, is valid for a year and has to be renewed. What in-country hosting removes is the need to hold and defend a cross-border transfer justification for this data, because none of it leaves.

Yes, and pairing the newest database releases with the newest platform keeps both vendors' support matrices pointing the same way. Plans are sized for database workloads with NVMe storage and generous RAM. SQL Server licensing is separate from the Windows licence — talk to [email protected] for a sized quote.

Yes, as a fresh build rather than an in-place upgrade: deploy the 2025 instance, install the application, bring the data across, run both for a week, then move the users and retire the old machine. Confirm with your software vendor that they certify 2025 before you start — if they do not yet, run 2022 and revisit it at the next release.

In shillings, by MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, bank transfer or card, licence component included and settled inside Uganda, so no part of the charge is a foreign transaction. Displayed prices exclude VAT; Uganda's standard rate is 18%, administered by URA, and it is calculated and shown separately at checkout.

Your TIN and your registered name exactly as URA holds it, plus any purchase-order reference. Send them to [email protected] before you place the order and they appear on the invoice from the first billing run. If the project is already approved for the year, ask for the annual invoice at the same time: ten months for twelve, one approval, one document for the file.

Yes. vCPU, RAM and storage each resize independently up to 32 vCPU and 64 GB of RAM, with minimal downtime and the same IP address. The licence follows the core count at UGX 11,200 per vCPU per month above the four-core minimum, so a resize changes the bill by an amount you can work out before you click it.

On-demand snapshots and scheduled backups are available on every plan, with snapshot storage billed per GB beyond the included allowance. On a machine you intend to keep into the 2030s, the habit worth forming early is a snapshot before every change window rather than a backup regime nobody has ever restored from.

Yes. Your data is hosted in Uganda and stays in-country, giving you data residency for Uganda's Data Protection and Privacy Act. It isn't moved out of Uganda without your instruction.

In our Kampala data centre (ug-1a). Your content is stored and served from Kampala, close to your users.

Pay in Uganda Shillings using MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, bank transfer, or card. No foreign card or forex conversion is required.

You're billed in UGX. Prices can be viewed in USD, KES, TZS, or NGN, but as a Uganda customer you pay in UGX with no forex conversion.
