This guide will help answer general questions on purchasing a Windows VPS and getting started.

1. Select Your Plan
Navigate to https://sonoranservers.com and select Virtual Private Servers (VPS) or Dedicated Servers
We offer several server configurations depending on your needs. For most gaming servers, we recommend the Windows 4-6 or 4-8 VPS plan. However, you can always upgrade your vCPU, RAM, and SSD storage resources at any time. Dedicated Servers are available for when you require more power to run many applications at once.

You can add on additional RAM or SSD storage as needed.
