We migrated to this Windows 2022 VPS last year for similar reasons. The included license saved us ~$40/month vs AWS. For Hyper-V, allocate at least 4 vCPUs and 8GB RAM per VM—their NVMe storage cuts VM boot times by half compared to our old HDD setup.

Security-wise, enable Secured-core features:

1. Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) isolates critical processes from attacks

2. Windows Defender Credential Guard blocks pass-the-hash exploits

3. BitLocker encrypts disks without third-party tools

Use Windows Admin Center for remote management—it’s lighter than full GUI access and lets you monitor multiple VMs from one dashboard. For RDP, enforce Network Level Authentication (NLA) and restrict logins to specific IPs.

Performance tip: Disable GUI effects (animations, transparency) to free up RAM for SQL Server or IIS. We host a donor management system with 50+ concurrent users, and latency stays under 200ms.

Their support helped us script automated backups to Wasabi cloud storage—costs 1/4 of Azure’s rates. Only hiccup: Initial firewall rules blocked our legacy app’s ports, but a quick ticket fixed it.
