Fully Managed Windows Dedicated Servers for .NET, MSSQL and Enterprise Apps
Location: India Tier IV Datacentre — Delhi NCR · Mumbai · Pune
A Windows dedicated server is a physical bare-metal machine running Microsoft Windows Server, allocated to a single customer with full Administrator access over RDP. Unlike a virtual server, no other tenant shares the CPU, RAM or storage. eWebGuru deploys Windows Server 2019, 2022 and 2025 on enterprise hardware in Indian Tier IV datacentres, from ₹10,500 per month with licensing included.
Bare-metal Windows Server machines in Tier IV datacentres at Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Pune. RDP access, IIS, ASP.NET and Microsoft SQL Server configured by our engineers. We handle licensing, patching, hardening and hardware monitoring — you deploy your application.
eWebGuru has been hosting servers out of Indian datacentres since 2007, and every plan on this page is fully managed. That covers the build, RAID configuration, Windows activation and patch cycles, IIS and MSSQL setup, security hardening, proactive hardware monitoring and physical intervention at the rack.
If your stack runs on PHP, Python, Node.js or MySQL instead, our Linux dedicated servers run the identical hardware without the OS licence. Browse all dedicated server options to compare.
All plans are fully managed and include RDP access, IPMI/KVM out-of-band control, a 1 Gbps uplink, 10 TB monthly transfer, a free SSL certificate and free migration. Windows Server Standard licensing for every populated socket is included in the price shown — there is no separate licence line on your invoice.
Included on every plan: free SSL certificate (worth $149), free migration from your current provider, IPMI/KVM access, 1 Gbps uplink and 10 TB monthly transfer. All plans are fully managed. Minimum commitment is 30 days.

The Windows licence is included in the prices above. The table below shows the licence cost on its own, so you can see how each plan price is made up.
| Windows Server Edition | 1 Socket | 2 Sockets |
|---|---|---|
| Windows Server 2019 Standard | ₹ 2,000/mo | ₹ 4,000/mo |
| Windows Server 2022 Standard | ₹ 2,000/mo | ₹ 4,000/mo |
| Windows Server 2025 Standard | ₹ 2,000/mo | ₹ 4,000/mo |
| Windows Server 2019 / 2022 / 2025 Datacenter | Quoted | Quoted |
Every price in the plans table above already includes the Standard licence for that configuration's socket count. The entry-level E3-1230 is ₹8,500/mo for the hardware plus ₹2,000/mo for Windows Server 2022 Standard, which makes the total ₹10,500/mo. That is the figure quoted on this page, so the advertised price is the price you pay.
Quoted separately. It includes unlimited Windows Server virtual machine rights on the licensed host and is normally deployed only for dense Hyper-V workloads or enterprise SPLA agreements.
Available on request if you intend to host multiple simultaneous RDP user sessions for application publishing or remote workstations. Standard Administrator RDP access for server management does not require CALs.
Available under SPLA rental, billed monthly, with no upfront Microsoft commitment.
We will not push you onto the newest release if your application needs legacy compatibility. Every version below is available for fresh deployment or migration, installed, activated and patched by our team.
The current release. Best for greenfield deployments, a long support runway and modern .NET 8/9 workloads. Deployed with Server Core or Desktop Experience — your choice.
| Windows Server 2025 Standard | Supported |
| Desktop Experience or Server Core | Your choice |
| Licence for 1 or 2 sockets | Included in plan |

| Mount & install via IPMI | Handled by us |
| Self-service OS reload | IPMI/KVM included |
A Windows server is not a Linux box with a GUI on top — it is a different architecture, and it deserves infrastructure built around it. When your stack is IIS, ASP.NET, .NET Core or Microsoft SQL Server, dedicated hardware gives you:
No reverse-proxy workarounds, no Mono runtime. Direct execution of ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core and classic ASP on the platform they were built for.
Run Express, Standard or Enterprise on direct-attached NVMe with guaranteed RAM. No noisy-neighbour contention on the buffer pool.
Graphical administration for teams that manage servers through a desktop rather than SSH — plus PowerShell when you want the command line.
Host your own domain controller, Group Policy and DNS without depending on a third-party identity provider.
Virtualise nested workloads on your own node for isolated dev/test environments or internal multi-tenant hosting.
Per-socket costs you can forecast, rather than per-vCPU billing that scales with load and surprises you at month end.
We provision Windows dedicated servers on the same enterprise hardware as our Linux fleet — Intel Xeon Scalable, AMD EPYC, DDR4/DDR5 ECC RAM, NVMe storage — but the software stack, licensing and support workflow are built for the Windows ecosystem.
Our managed scope on Windows differs from our Linux workflow, because Windows administration differs. Concretely, we handle:
You retain full Administrator access. Managed means we watch the server when you are not logged in — not that we restrict what you install.
Our own engineers rack the hardware, run the OS install and handle replacements. These photographs are ours, taken inside the facility where the machines live.
IIS 10 is pre-installed and tuned on every managed Windows dedicated server. IIS has remained at version 10.0 across Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022 and 2025, so configuration and modules carry forward cleanly between releases. We configure application pools for process isolation, enable dynamic compression, set up URL Rewrite for clean URLs, and harden against common Windows-specific attack paths.
We install and configure the full stack — from .NET Framework 4.8 for legacy ASP.NET Web Forms applications through to .NET 8 and 9 for modern cross-platform APIs. Kestrel behind IIS as a reverse proxy is our recommended pattern for high-throughput .NET workloads.
| Edition | Best For | Licensing |
|---|---|---|
| SQL Server Express | Dev environments, small apps, databases under 10 GB | Free |
| SQL Server Standard | Production OLTP, reporting services, most business apps | Per-core or SPLA |
| SQL Server Enterprise | Always On AG, columnstore indexes, large data warehouses | Per-core or SPLA |
We handle installation, memory allocation, TempDB file placement on NVMe and automated backup maintenance plans. SQL Server licensing is available under SPLA rental — monthly billing, no upfront Microsoft cost.
These are our own photographs, taken by our team inside the Tier IV facility where our dedicated servers are racked. Same hardware, same cabling, same cooling your Windows server sits in from the day it is provisioned.
For Indian buyers, local infrastructure matters beyond latency. A server in Mumbai serving users in Bangalore keeps data inside Indian jurisdiction — increasingly relevant under the Digital Personal Data Protection framework and for enterprises with data residency clauses in client contracts.

cPanel does not run on Windows. These are the real monthly costs of the panels that do, so you can budget accurately.
| Plesk Obsidian — 10 Domains | ₹ 1,550 |
| Plesk Obsidian — 30 Domains | ₹ 2,000 |
| Plesk Obsidian — Unlimited Domains | ₹ 4,500 |
Plesk on Windows integrates natively with IIS, MSSQL, MailEnable and ASP.NET. It is what we recommend if you are hosting client websites or reselling from your dedicated box — 10 domains for a small agency, 30 for a growing host, unlimited for large resellers and multi-tenant hosts.
| SolidCP / WebsitePanel | Free |
| No panel (pure RDP + IIS) | Free |
SolidCP and WebsitePanel are the open-source route for Windows hosting management — workable if you are comfortable maintaining the panel yourself.
If the box runs a single application — one ASP.NET Core API, one ERP install, one RDS session host — skip the panel entirely. Pure RDP with IIS Manager gives you more RAM for the application and one less attack surface to patch. We provide fully managed support on servers with no control panel at all.
Most buyers land here when a virtual server has stopped keeping up. The main question is how much hardware and control your application actually needs:
| Windows Dedicated Server | Windows VPS | |
|---|---|---|
| Resources | Entire physical machine | Guaranteed slice of a shared host |
| Typical starting point | ₹10,500/mo | Lower entry cost |
| Hyper-V nested virtualisation | Supported | Not available |
| Active Directory domain controller | Recommended | Workable for small domains |
| RDS session hosts | Suitable for production | Limited by vCPU allocation |
| SQL Server | Standard and Enterprise, large datasets | Express and small Standard workloads |
| Licensing model | Per socket, predictable | Per instance |
| Hardware control | Full — RAID level, disk count, IPMI | None |
Choose dedicated if you are running SQL Server Standard or Enterprise on datasets above a few hundred GB, hosting RDS for more than a handful of concurrent users, running Hyper-V, or if compliance requires single-tenant hardware.
Choose a VPS if you are hosting one or two .NET applications with a modest database, or you want to prove the stack before committing to bare metal. Compare our Windows VPS plans.
If you are unsure which you need, send us your application stack and expected number of concurrent users and we will recommend a configuration.
| Factor | Windows | Linux |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | .NET, MSSQL, IIS, Active Directory, RDS, legacy ASP | PHP, Python, Node.js, MySQL/MariaDB, NGINX, Docker |
| Control panels | Plesk, SolidCP, WebsitePanel | cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, Webmin |
| Remote access | RDP (graphical) + PowerShell | SSH + SFTP |
| OS licensing | ₹2,000–4,000/mo | None |
| Database | Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL | MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB |
| Web server | IIS (native), Apache (optional) | NGINX, Apache, LiteSpeed |
| Virtualisation | Hyper-V (native) | KVM, Proxmox |
Choose Windows if your application is built on .NET, your database is MSSQL, your team administers over RDP, or you need Active Directory.
Choose Linux if you run PHP, Python, Node.js or Java; you prefer command-line administration; you want no OS licensing cost; or you need cPanel/WHM. See our Linux dedicated server plans.
If your application is better suited to Linux, we will tell you. Our Linux dedicated servers use the same enterprise hardware without the Windows licence cost.
Moving a Windows environment requires more care than a Linux file tree. Active Directory metadata, IIS application pools, MSSQL logins and registry settings do not copy across cleanly. Our process:
We regularly migrate Windows servers from GoDaddy, HostGator, BigRock and other providers, including cross-grades from older Windows Server versions to supported releases during the move. Migration is free on all dedicated plans.
Every Windows dedicated server is hardened before handover, and stays that way through managed patch cycles.
Pre-configured inbound rules, with RDP restricted to your source IP ranges by default.
RDP requires authentication before a session is established, cutting brute-force exposure substantially.
IIS configured to reject legacy SSL and TLS versions. Free SSL certificates installed and bound to IIS sites.
Volumetric attack filtering on all dedicated server uplinks, applied upstream of your machine.
Out-of-band access independent of Windows. Reboot, reinstall or recover from a boot failure even when RDP is unreachable.
Isolate your Windows server from public-facing nodes in hybrid deployments.
Genuine Microsoft Windows Server on enterprise hardware, in Indian Tier IV datacentres, managed by engineers who work on IIS, MSSQL and Active Directory every day — from ₹10,500 per month with licensing included and free migration.
