  • Windows VPS Hosting – are these additional options worth it?
DateDec 8, 2023

Hi,

I am planning to pay for Windows VPS hosting – the site I’m looking at includes these additional options (prices shown are the monthly fee):

Options (text in brackets is taken from the “i” icon when hovering over each of the options above):

  • Vulnerability Testing ( A monthly vulnerability scan (via nessus) that will produce a report of vulnerabilities on your server, accessible from your control panel. Scans can also be requested on demand.)
  • Port Monitoring ( An automated process that will check on the availability of ports on your server.)
  • Virtual Hardware Firewall ( A virtual firewall that will protect all services within a single VLAN.)

I have been running a Windows 2012 R2 VPS server with the company since 2015 without these options enabled but am upgrading to a newer version of Windows Server and wondered if people would recommend them?

Nothing “bad” has happened with my old setup without the options enabled, but I was just curious what others thought.

Thanks
