Renting a Windows Server in Germany: Frankfurt Cloud Server for Business Software and Remote Desktop (2026)

In short: many companies move their Windows server with inventory, accounting or industry software to the cloud, so the team can use the same software from the office, the warehouse and home. At OMC Cloud the server runs in the Frankfurt data center with Windows Server 2022, the Windows license is included in the price, and existing Windows servers are migrated free of charge as they are.

Why move the server to the cloud

• Work from anywhere: everyone connects to the same server with Remote Desktop.
• No hardware in the office: no server to replace every few years, no problems with power, heat or failed disks.
• Backup and recovery: automatic daily backup with 14 restore points, and disaster recovery that restarts in another location within 30 minutes.
• Data in Germany: the server is physically in Frankfurt.

What you can run

• Windows inventory, ERP and accounting software with its database, for example SQL Server.
• Terminal server (Remote Desktop): several users work on the same server at the same time.
• .NET applications, file shares and Active Directory: the office server, moved to the cloud.

Before migrating, check the license terms for running on a cloud server with your software vendor. Remote Desktop access licenses (RDS CALs) and application licenses are handled separately.

Choosing the size

Two examples from OMC Cloud’s public price list, both with Windows Server 2022:

• A few users or a single application: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB NVMe, $39 per month.
• Terminal server or business software for a small team: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB NVMe, $111 per month.

CPU, RAM and storage can be increased from the console at any time as the team grows.

Migrating the existing server

The simplest way is an “as is” migration: the current server with its applications, users and data is copied to the cloud, and your team keeps working as before. At OMC Cloud, migrating existing Windows servers is free. Plan it for a quiet day, keep the old server running until the new one is checked, and test the main applications right away.
