Why host Windows Server 2022 in the cloud
Secured-core server
Windows Server 2022 introduces secured-core server, combining hardware-rooted security with virtualization-based security (VBS) and Credential Guard. Combined with our virtual TPM, your VPS boots with verified firmware integrity and protects credentials from advanced attacks.
TLS 1.3 enabled by default
Windows Server 2022 enables TLS 1.3 out of the box, encrypting connections with the latest standard. Older insecure cipher suites are disabled by default, giving your web applications and services stronger security without any configuration.
AES-256 SMB encryption
SMB file sharing in Windows Server 2022 supports AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM encryption. File transfers between servers and clients are protected with the strongest available encryption, critical for compliance-sensitive workloads.
DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH)
Windows Server 2022 supports DNS-over-HTTPS, encrypting DNS queries to prevent eavesdropping and manipulation. Your server's DNS traffic stays private, even on untrusted networks.
WSL2 with Linux kernel
Windows Server 2022 includes WSL2 with a real Linux kernel. Run Linux command-line tools, containers, and development environments alongside your Windows applications on the same server, without a separate Linux VPS.
Windows Admin Center
Manage your Windows Server 2022 from a modern browser-based interface. Windows Admin Center provides a unified dashboard for monitoring performance, managing services, configuring networking, and viewing event logs without needing RDP.

Frequently asked questions
Windows Server 2022 adds TLS 1.3 by default, secured-core server capabilities, AES-256 SMB encryption, and DNS-over-HTTPS. These are built into the OS with no extra configuration required.
Yes. Windows Server 2022 shares the same kernel as Windows 11, so modern desktop applications, .NET 6+ apps, and Win32 software all run without modification.
Yes. ColossusCloud holds a Microsoft SPLA license. Every Windows Server 2022 VPS includes a fully compliant, genuine license at no extra cost. Office and SQL Server licenses are available as add-ons.
Yes. Windows Server 2022 supports WSL2 with a real Linux kernel, letting you run Linux command-line tools and containers alongside your Windows workloads on the same server.
Yes. Windows Server 2022 improves Active Directory with enhanced security defaults and better group policy management. It is our recommended version for businesses deploying domain controllers in the cloud.
The biggest differences are in security (TLS 1.3, secured-core, AES-256 SMB) and the newer kernel that matches Windows 11. Windows Server 2022 also includes a significantly improved Windows Admin Center for browser-based management.
