Windows Server Licensing for Virtual Servers

Windows Server can be deployed instantly on Interspace Cloud. Simply select a Windows Server version when ordering an Elastic Cloud VPS. Upon order, Interspace automatically delivers a virtual server with Windows Server installed and licensed within one minute.

Windows Server licenses are ordered and billed monthly along with your virtual server and remain active until the server is canceled.

As a trusted Microsoft Partner, Interspace uses volume purchasing to provide Windows Server licenses at one of the most affordable prices.

3.About Windows Server

Windows Server is Microsoft's server operating system designed for enterprise environments, offering robust management tools and extensive Microsoft ecosystem compatibility. There are two main installation options:

GUI
This option represents the "Server with Desktop Experience", which includes the complete graphical user interface and traditional Windows desktop environment. It provides familiar visual management tools including Server Manager and Microsoft Management Console (MMC). It fully supports GUI applications from Microsoft and other software vendors.

CORE
This option represents the "Server Core", which provides a minimal installation with no graphical user interface. It delivers improved performance with lower resource consumption and reduced risk of instability because GUI services are not running. It is managed entirely through command-line tools like PowerShell or remote management tools such as Windows Admin Center.
