Hi all,

I'd like to play with Windows server, but I'm not sure what VPS provider to go with. What provider would you guys recommend that offers relatively decent prices? Should I get Windows Server 2019? What kinds of specs do I need to run Windows Server effectively? I assume more than 32 GB storage?

I'd also like to know how accessible the server itself is. I'm pretty sure it uses the Windows GUI, but do I need to use Remote Desktop to initially connect? Can I enable Narrator and install NVDA and NVDA Remote?

Any information is very much appreciated. I don't plan on switching to Windows Server, I just want to play with it for a day or two to continue my VPS education. I'd like to spend the least amount of money in the process.

I recommend vultr. It's prices are cheap, and their support is really fast and helpful even on what concerns accessibility.
