About This Feature

Windows Dedicated Server Hosting UK

Windows Dedicated Server Hosting UK from Glitch Servers provides bare-metal Windows Server infrastructure with full administrator access - backed by Intel Xeon and AMD Ryzen hardware, NVMe SSD storage, and UK-native routing through AS212868. Every Windows dedicated server is provisioned with a licensed copy of Windows Server 2022 Standard or Datacenter, ready for RDP access, IIS web hosting, SQL Server, or any Windows-dependent application stack. Unlike shared Windows hosting, a dedicated server gives you complete control over server roles, firewall rules, registry settings, and software installation without restrictions. UK businesses migrating from on-premises Windows infrastructure benefit from familiar tooling - Group Policy, PowerShell remoting, Active Directory - combined with the reliability and connectivity of professionally managed data centre infrastructure. IPMI out-of-band access is included on all dedicated plans, enabling remote console access and OS reinstallation without an engineer visit. Windows Server licensing is included in the monthly cost - no separate Microsoft licensing fees. Our team can assist with OS configuration and initial setup as part of the provisioning process.

External resources: LINX (London Internet Exchange) and RIPE NCC (European IP registry).
