Windows VPS Hosting in Uganda

You can choose Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022, or 2025 when you deploy. To move to a different version, spin up a fresh instance on the version you want.

Yes. You can resize to a larger plan as your workload grows, with minimal downtime. Storage and compute scale independently on the higher tiers.

Yes. Our 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.

Yes. Our team assists with migrating existing Windows workloads into Lineserve at no extra charge. Reach out to support to plan the move.

Every plan includes at least one dedicated public IPv4 address. Higher tiers include additional addresses, and more are available on request.

In ug-1a, our Kampala region. The instance and its storage are created there and stay there unless you move them yourself.

Yes. Licensing is provided under a Services Provider License Agreement and billed per active instance, and instances ship pre-activated — there is no product key to source, nothing to key in and nothing to renew. It is a component of the shilling plan price rather than a separate purchase in another currency.

Windows Server 2022 Standard is UGX 9,300 per vCPU per month on a four-core minimum, so UGX 37,200 a month on every plan up to four cores. Check it against the two lists: the Linux 2 GB plan is UGX 81,750 and the 2 GB Windows plan is UGX 119,000; the Linux 8 GB plan is UGX 310,000 and the 8 GB Windows plan is UGX 348,000. The licence lands where the arithmetic puts it, give or take where a rounded shilling list moves.

2019, 2022 or 2025 Standard, picked at deploy time. The release changes the licence component and nothing else: UGX 7,450 per vCPU per month for 2019, UGX 9,300 for 2022, UGX 11,200 for 2025, all on the same four-core minimum. Changing release later means a fresh build rather than an in-place upgrade.

Yes, on every plan, over RDP. Install what you like, configure IIS, open ports, set scheduled tasks, add roles and features, join it to your own domain — the machine is yours to administer, and there is no managed layer sitting between you and it.

If it runs on Windows Server, it runs here. Bring your own licence for the application and for any database engine it needs — a licensed SQL Server edition, for instance — along with whatever client access licences the vendor requires. The included licence covers the operating system, which is the part that is usually the nuisance.

UGX. Prices can be viewed in other currencies, but as a Ugandan customer you are quoted, invoiced and settled in Uganda Shillings, licence component included — no conversion on your side and no international transaction on the statement.

MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, bank transfer or card, all in shillings. Bank transfer is the usual rail at Windows plan sizes and for annual terms, with both wallets available for smaller instances and card for finance teams that prefer one.

No. 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 order and they are on the invoice from the first billing run. Information technology and communications is one of the twelve sectors URA has brought inside EFRIS, so if you invoice Ugandan clients yourself you already know these requirements from the issuing side.

Yes, and on a Windows desktop that matters more than it sounds. Everything on the machine is held in Kampala — the database, the exports on the desktop, the scans folder, the mail archive — and none of it is moved out of the country without your instruction. That gives you data residency for Uganda's Data Protection and Privacy Act.

Not for data held in Kampala. Uganda has no per-transfer permit regime; what the Office expects is records of the legal basis, the safeguards and the justification for cross-border transfers, kept available for inspection. Data that never leaves the country never generates that file. Your own registration with the Office as a collector, processor or controller is separate, remains yours, and renews annually.

Yes, and better than a European desktop does for the same staff. UCC put Uganda's national fibre optic network at 80,257 km in June 2026, and NITA-U's National Backbone Infrastructure links Kampala with regional centres, so an upcountry office reaches ug-1a over domestic fibre rather than over an international path. Everyone is on East Africa Time as well, so the working day lines up.

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 component follows the core count, at UGX 9,300 per vCPU per month above the four-core minimum, so a resize changes the price by an amount you can work out before you click it.

Yes — a Windows VPS is exactly what MetaTrader and similar platforms are usually hosted on, and full administrator rights mean your broker's own build installs like any other application. If that is the whole reason you are here, the forex VPS page covers the sizing and the setup properly.

At [email protected] and through the ticket queue in your console. Uganda is on East Africa Time, UTC+3, year-round with no daylight saving.
