How do providers deal with Windows Server Evaluation after 180 days?
I’m interested in cheap Windows VPS plans, but many of them only provide Windows Server Evaluation for 180 days.
What normally happens after that?
Do providers reinstall a fresh image, offer SPLA/licensed Windows, require BYOL, or is there another common solution?
I’d like to hear how providers and long-term Windows VPS users usually handle this.
Thanks!

BYOL of course.
You can use rearm a couple of times to extend the evaluation period. No clue if that has changed but I'm certain it still works.
