About This Feature

Windows VPS UK

Windows VPS UK from Glitch Servers provides scalable virtual infrastructure running on bare-metal AMD Ryzen hardware - backed by AMD Ryzen hardware, NVMe Gen4 storage, and UK-native routing through AS212868. Not every application runs on Linux. Windows Server VPS is essential for ASP.NET applications, SQL Server workloads, Windows-specific desktop software accessed via RDP, Active Directory domain controllers, and legacy IIS-hosted applications that your business depends on. Our Windows VPS plans provide genuine licensed Windows Server 2019 or 2022 on KVM hypervisor with full RDP access, dedicated NVMe SSD storage, and the same always-on DDoS protection included on our Linux plans. The Windows licence cost is included transparently in the plan price - no separate licensing surprises.

Performance on Glitch VPS plans is driven by AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors - single-core clock speeds that handle application workloads, database queries, and concurrent web traffic without the CPU credit limits that cap performance on burstable cloud instances. Storage runs on NVMe Gen4 drives with sequential read speeds of 3,500 MB/s, eliminating the I/O bottleneck that affects VPS plans running on SATA SSD or shared SAN.

Glitch Servers operates AS212868 with direct peering at LINX and LONAP - the London Internet Exchange and London Access Point - providing low-latency paths to BT, Virgin Media, Sky, TalkTalk, and other major UK ISPs without unnecessary Continental European hops. For users connecting across the UK, that translates to consistent single-digit-to-low-double-digit millisecond round-trip times under normal UK network conditions.

Every plan includes Corero Smartwall inline DDoS mitigation operating at the network edge. Traffic scrubbing runs continuously without latency penalty, absorbing volumetric floods before they reach the hypervisor layer. Full plan specifications and pricing are on the UK VPS hosting page.

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