    I have windows on my desktop computer and noticed that the vps packages are half the price if you have linux. Is it difficult to switch your computer from windows to linux?

    Windows license are costly thats why linux VPS are cheaper as most linux distro are free. I would suggest you first to create a virtual system with linux on your windows syetm to see if you will be able to use it, you need to be a bit more savvy :)

    VPS comes with a OS pre-installed. You can definitely access your Linux VPS from your Windows PC through SSH. All you need to do is install an SSH client like PuTTY.
