Windows 7 VPS hosting
Why run Windows 7 applications on Windows Server
Full Windows 7 application compatibility
Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2016 share the same kernel generation as Windows 7. Your legacy business tools, custom software, DirectX 9–11 apps, .NET frameworks, COM objects, and ActiveX controls all run without modification.
Same APIs and libraries your software expects
The Win32 APIs, GDI rendering, and runtime libraries your Windows 7 applications depend on are present on Windows Server. No compatibility shims, no workarounds. Your software runs natively.
Familiar desktop experience via RDP
Connect via Remote Desktop and get a full Windows desktop with a Start menu, taskbar, and file explorer. Your team works in a familiar environment without any learning curve.
Stable, predictable environment
Windows Server Long-Term Servicing receives only security patches, not feature updates. Your legacy applications run in a consistent environment without unexpected changes or forced reboots.
Right-sized for legacy workloads
Legacy Windows 7 era applications typically require less CPU and RAM. Start with a smaller VPS plan and scale up only when needed. No wasted resources.
Local device redirection via RDP
Remote Desktop supports redirecting local printers, drives, clipboard, and audio to your Windows Server session. Print from the cloud to your local printer, or copy files between your local machine and the VPS seamlessly.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Most Windows 7 desktop applications run on Windows Server editions without modification. Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2016 share the same kernel generation as Windows 7, so your legacy software, business tools, and custom applications will work the same way.
We recommend Windows Server 2012 R2 or 2016 for the best compatibility with Windows 7 era software. Both share the same core libraries and APIs. If your applications are newer, Windows Server 2019 or 2022 will also work.
Yes. Windows Server includes the same .NET Framework versions, COM libraries, and ActiveX runtime that Windows 7 shipped with. Business applications built on these technologies run without compatibility issues.
Legacy Windows 7 era applications are typically lighter on resources. We recommend at least 4 GB of RAM for general use. If you run a browser alongside your applications, 8 GB is a safer starting point. You can scale up at any time.
Yes. As a Microsoft SPLA partner, ColossusCloud provides genuine Windows Server licensing with every Windows VPS. Licenses for Microsoft Office, SQL Server, and other Microsoft products are also available.
Yes. Remote Desktop (RDP) supports local device redirection. You can print from your VPS to your local printer, copy files between your machine and the server, and share clipboard content, all through your RDP session.
