Editions and access
Two editions, both activated for you. The part worth planning is access: RDP open to the whole internet is the single most attacked door on a Windows server.
Getting it right from the start
Lock RDP to your range
Open 3389 to your office addresses in the firewall, not to everyone.
The firewall is the way back
It runs in front of the machine, so a rule that locks you out is undone from the dashboard.
Snapshot before updates
Windows updates reboot. Freeze the disk first and roll back if one goes badly.
Windows wants memory
The operating system alone uses more than a Linux image before your application starts. Start at this tier rather than the entry one.
From order to a working Windows Server
Pick Windows Server
And the edition you need.
Restrict RDP
To your own addresses, in the firewall.
Connect
The administrator password is shown once in your dashboard.
Install your software
The licence is already handled.
Straight answers before you deploy
Not on these images. Upload a custom image if your licensing allows it.
It is billed per server with the plan and appears on the same invoice. The exact figure is shown in the configurator.
