As a special deal to everyone, I am offering a completely FREE service to have Windows Server 2008/2012/2016 installed onto your Hetzner, SoYouStart / OVH / Kimsufi or Linux machine. A Linux distribution must be installed, preferrably Debian, and the specifications of the machine must meet the minimum requirements for Windows Server OSes to be installed for a greater sucesss rate!

Why are you doing it for free?
I feel this service should be given for free as it's never nice to have to pay for something extra unnecessarily on your project - whilst it's beneficial to both parties to pay for something to be done professionally, I am personally offering this for a limited time in form of a professionally paid service!

How long does it take?
Depending on the speed of your machine and the internet connection you have, it could take from minutes to hours. On OVH / Kimsufi / SyS machines, it takes about 30 minutes tops. However on Hetzner, it can take longer due to drivers.

Why should I trust you?
I have run my business, EpicHosts, for nearly 5 years and have a well-reputable service. I would not want to ruin that reputation, or get a bad name on a popular forum such as this, so giving this free service and proving I am not a bad person who runs a bad company would give a good reason to trust!

What information do you need?
This part, people may not trust, but if you don't trust - don't go ;) the access required however depends on the machine you have and the type of installation it requires my end.

For OVH/SyS/Kimsufi: I will only need PuTTy access, but you will need to disable monitoring and perform other tasks, however I will tell you everything you need to know before I start.

For Hetzner: I will require full access to your Robot panel, as I will need to ask support for the chipset your machine is using for drivers (unless you are already aware of such) and for LARA access. If you do not trust me with such details, we can use Teamviewer instead so you can watch me work!

For others: We'll work out a method! ;) I tested this on a simple VirtualBox machine at home and it works flawlessly. So I see no reason as to why it shouldn't work with any other Linux setup!

Whilst I am happy to try again, past experience has proven that our installation will NOT work with some OVH VPS, Contabo VPS and ANY OpenVZ setup.

The installation consists of an unlicensed Windows Server operating system installed onto your primary hard-drive. You will lose all data on such hard-drive so performing a backup before proceeding is heavily encouraged. You will need to provide your own license, or contact me upon request for licensing queries.

If you are interested, simply contact me on my site stating that you found this offer: http://www.epichosts.co.uk

Donations, vouches, rep, etc are welcome and extremely appreciated for the work however not suggested! If you are interested in donating, you may ask me for further information. Thank you!

I am also offering paid systems management for requests such as virtual environment/machine installations, virus removals, network configurations and more! Simply contact us for a quote and we'll be happy to give you the best deal possible!

I appreciate anyone who reads this thread! Any comments and further suggestions are highly accustomed :)

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Well If I'm not wrong a member had posted a tutorial here about how to do the same exactly thing for free. Let me search it.

EDIT: http://www.mc-market.org/threads/159070/#post-1662273
I am offering this service for people that are not very knowledgeable with Linux or do not want to do the installation themselves :)

I also offer licensing and other services in addition to the free setup, so in a way this offers more than the tutorial you have linked.

Unfortunately, he tried this on my Contabo server and got himself locked out of it and Windows refused to work. You'll have to purchase the license from them and it will work if you want Windows Server.

By adding windows what will it do? how will it help?
I'm not too sure how to answer this. The only thing I can say is that if your host doesn't currently offer Windows, or you don't want to pay for it, we can offer it for your service.

It will let you run Windows applications and services, unlike Linux which may not have an alternative to the Windows application/service you plan to run.

Hope this helps!

Hi Mike, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'this has only one name', can you please explain this and I'll be more than happy to attend any concerns you have. Many thanks!

Is that some sort of script for installing them?
