FAQ. Windows XP VPS
Common questions, straight answers.
What is a Windows XP VPS?
A Windows XP VPS is a virtual private server running Windows XP Professional. You connect over RDP from any modern device and get the classic Windows XP desktop. The VPS is online 24/7 in a Cloudzy data center.
Why would I use Windows XP?
Some legacy software, industrial tools, and embedded system development workflows only work on Windows XP. A cloud-based XP VPS lets you run these in an isolated environment without maintaining old hardware.
What about the Windows XP license?
Your VPS comes with a trial license so you can deploy and start working right away, or you can bring your own Windows XP license (BYOL) and activate it yourself.
Is Windows XP safe to use on a VPS?
Microsoft ended all support for Windows XP in April 2014. Running it in an isolated cloud VPS is much safer than running it on a physical machine connected to your network. We recommend using it only for specific compatibility needs, not for general internet browsing.
How fast is provisioning?
60 seconds from payment to live RDP access. You receive an email with the IP, admin password, and RDP connection details.
What hardware powers the VPS?
AMD EPYC processors with DDR5 memory and pure NVMe storage. Every plan includes a dedicated IPv4, IPv6, and a 40 Gbps shared uplink.
Can I install older software?
Yes, you have full administrator access. Install any Windows XP-compatible application. Many older programs that won't run on modern Windows work fine here.
Can I upgrade my plan later?
Yes. RAM, vCPU, and storage can all be resized from the panel. Most upgrades complete in under 60 seconds.
Do I get a dedicated IP?
Yes, every Windows XP VPS comes with a dedicated static IPv4 plus IPv6. No shared NAT.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes, 14 days from purchase, no questions asked, full refund. Apply from the panel or email [email protected].
Need a legacy
Windows XP environment?
Pick a region, click. RDP into a fresh Windows XP desktop before your coffee.
