Visual Studio VPS — from €5.49/mo

Develop in Visual Studio on a Windows server — .NET and C++ over RDP, 5-hour test period, you risk nothing

Launch Visual Studio
A virtual server for Visual Studio

A Visual Studio VPS is a virtual server with full administrator access for .NET and C++ development in a Windows environment. You deploy a Windows image yourself, install Visual Studio and the SDKs you need, and work over Remote Desktop (RDP) from any device. Heavy compilation and tests run on the server without loading your own computer. Plans start at €5.49/mo with a 5-hour test period — measure the build speed on your own solution before paying.

How to set up Visual Studio on a VPS

1

Pick a plan and an image

Choose a plan — Standard 1 (4 vCPU, 4 GB) or Standard 2 (4 vCPU, 6 GB) — and select the Windows image version you need for .NET or C++ development.

2

Install the OS yourself

Through the panel you deploy the chosen Windows image on the KVM server yourself and control the configuration.

3

Install Visual Studio and SDKs

Connect over RDP or the KVM console, install Visual Studio, the workloads and SDKs you need — and start developing.

A .NET development environment for you

A .NET development environment for you

We will help you work out how much vCPU and RAM your solutions need so that Visual Studio, compilation and the debugger run without lag.

We can also help secure the RDP access. Image requirements are described on the Windows VPS page; for hosting the finished application see the ASP.NET VPS.

Yes. Deploy a Windows image on the VPS, install Visual Studio and work through Remote Desktop (RDP) from any device.

Over RDP — a remote desktop with a complete Windows environment. A KVM console is available for installing the OS.

Yes, on a Windows Server image with RDP access. For comfortable work on a large solution take 8 vCPU and 12 GB — Standard 5 at €13.99/mo.

An installation with the .NET and C++ workloads takes 40–80 GB, plus sources and build artifacts. Take a plan with at least 120 GB NVMe — that is Standard 5.

Yes. With administrator rights you install any workloads, SDKs and tools — the environment is entirely at your disposal.

Yes, Visual Studio and Windows Server licences are purchased separately. The Community edition is available on its own terms — Microsoft defines them, not us.

So that heavy builds run on the server instead of your laptop, and you can connect to your environment from any computer — the state persists between sessions.

You do: pick a Windows Server image and install it through the panel. If anything goes wrong, the KVM console gives access to the server as if it were a physical machine.
