Windows Server 2022 VPS Hosting in Kenya

It balances maturity and runway: years of production hardening, first-line vendor certification, and Microsoft extended support to October 2031. Pick 2019 for older certified software or 2025 for the longest support horizon.

Microsoft's extended support for Windows Server 2022 runs to October 2031, with security updates until then.

Yes. Connect over RDP with full administrator rights from the first boot. It's your server to configure however you like.

Yes. Plans are sized for SQL Server workloads with fast NVMe storage and generous RAM. SQL Server licensing is handled separately from the base Windows license — talk to sales for a sized quote.

Yes. Resize to a larger plan as your workload grows, with minimal downtime. You can also move to Server 2025 on a fresh instance whenever you're ready.

Every plan supports on-demand snapshots and scheduled automated backups. Snapshot storage is billed per GB beyond your included allowance.

Because support matrices lag releases. Plenty of Kenyan vendors have certified 2022 and have not yet certified 2025, and October 2031 is a long enough runway for most purchases. If your vendor does list 2025, or the deployment is meant to last into the 2030s, our Server 2025 page argues that case.

KES 250 per vCPU per month on a four-core minimum: KES 1,000 a month on the smaller plans, KES 2,000 on an eight-vCPU plan. Server 2019 is KES 200 per vCPU and 2025 is KES 300, on the same minimum, so a version change moves the bill by KES 200 a month at the small end and nothing else changes.

The licence, and only the licence. A four-vCPU Linux 8 GB plan is KES 8,330 a month where the 8 GB Windows plan is KES 9,330 — the KES 1,000 gap is four cores of Windows Server 2022 Standard at KES 250 each. Worth paying when the software you need has no Linux build; worth reconsidering when it does.

Yes, and doing it application by application beats doing it all at once. Deploy a fresh 2022 instance, move one application, run both for a month, then retire the old machine. Instances deploy in under a minute, so the constraint is your testing rather than the provisioning.

Yes. Each instance has a dedicated public IPv4 address and full administrator rights over RDP, so you can let an implementation engineer in, watch the install, and change the credentials when they are finished. The instance stays in your account, in ke-1a.

On the instance's own volume in ke-1a, in Nairobi — the database files, the transaction logs and any backup you write beside them are all held in Kenya. That is data residency for Kenya's Data Protection Act, expressed as a location your auditor can point at.

Mostly by bank transfer once the monthly figure gets past what anyone wants to push through a wallet — the 16 GB Windows plan is KES 18,510 a month. M-Pesa and card are both available for the smaller plans and for topping up, and everything is priced in KES with VAT added at checkout.

Yes, a 99.9% uptime SLA, with on-demand snapshots and scheduled backups available on every plan. For a line-of-business application that a Kenyan branch network logs into all day, that commitment is usually the reason the tower in the office loses the argument.

Yes. Your data is hosted in Kenya and stays in-country, giving you data residency for Kenya's Data Protection Act. It isn't moved out of Kenya without your instruction.

In our Nairobi data centre (ke-1a). Your content is stored and served from Nairobi, close to your users.

Pay in your local currency using M-Pesa and other mobile money, bank transfer, or card. No foreign card or forex conversion is required.

You're billed in KES. Prices can be viewed in USD, KES, TZS, or NGN, but as a Kenya customer you pay in KES with no forex conversion.
