Please share some Windows Offers - 2021 Black Friday
Windows licences are too expensive for "Low End".
So I am expecting affordable KVM plans which support Windows trail versions or ISO image. I think there are many users who also need them.
When you list a plan, please share the CPU and Geekbench 5 result as well. It's amazing to have a powerful CPU.
OK, start from me:

Flagged for impatience.
Is Windoze still a thing?
FYI, that just makes you look uninformed, not some hardcore Unix fanboy.
Windows on 15GB? You're going to have a bad time.
15 gb NVME and 125 gb HDD
I am using InceptionHosting $30/year VPS
solid network and support from Clouvider.
2 vCPU Cores
2 GB RAM (DDR4)
50 GB NVMe Disk Space
Just because you don't use it doesn't mean that it's not used in the industry.
IIRC aound 25% of websites use Windows Server. The top million sites are predominantly Linux (~96% ish), but there's a very long tail of Windows servers.
Some sites also use Windows Server, but they have a Linux-based load balancer in front of them, so it "look like" a Linux server when surveyed.
Good deal. Can you share the order link and Geekbench 5 results?
Imagine running cracked Windows in a datacenter. What could possibly go wrong?
Racknerd have a Windows VPS on ryzen for like $79/year with a legit license and everything.

You're welcome
Got in March this year.
Not sure if this/similar deal will be active in BF

And what makes you think that I am running a “cracked” windows?
My comment was aimed at OP, not you.
Ok.
I have a MSDN subscription.
Might last a couple of OS updates, with judicial reallocation of folders (dumbing down name for directories).
Glad to see you got that right, rather than just Linux.
I don't think of websites when I think of hosted Windows, I think service/applications.
Is the block storage bootable?
Wait for @seriesn. Annual plans come with a Windows license (https://my.nexusbytes.com/knowledgebase/38/Family-Perks---Because-family-matters.html#)
If I remember correctly, MSDN Windows licenses are mainly for evaluation and testing (ie for developers that need to test on Windows server, rather than for production deployments)
That is correct.
I am a developer and VMs are used for developing and unit testing the code.
The production code runs on Azure VMs. Besides there are vendors who include retail Windows license as well
PS - Microsoft SQL Server Express edition can be used in production environments as well.
No. It must be mounted before using.
And you're running Windows ok on this? TBH I've never ran Windows on a VPS because I think it would be very sluggish unless you have one of those 4vCore 4GB RAM VPS minimum.
Yes, no issues.
Running Windows Server 2019 (Standard) OS.
