What are the minimum requirements for Windows VDS
Depending on your tasks, choose the most suitable Windows VDS plan:
For basic office workloads, the VDS Start plan is a great fit — but keep in mind that for every additional user, you should add about +1–2 GB of RAM (which can be purchased). This configuration is sufficient for web browsing, using browsers, phone system connectivity, and access to accounting software like 1C.
For development, gaming, or specialized scenarios, more powerful configurations may be required:
| Scenario | CPU | RAM | Disk (SSD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Office tasks (light RDP sessions) | 1–2 vCPU | 2 GB | 20–30 GB (minimum 12 GB for OS) |
| Development / ASP.NET projects | 2–4 vCPU | 4–8 GB | ~35 GB (minimum) |
| SQL Server / Active Directory workloads | 4+ vCPU | 8–16 GB | 50 GB+ (for databases and logs) |
| Game servers on Windows | 2–4 vCPU | 4–8 GB | 35–50 GB SSD |
