Server Software and Services Software and Services on a Fully Managed Server


Fully managed Hyper-V Cloud Servers and Dedicated Servers are set up for each customer by our engineers. After you sign up, we ask which services you would like installed and configured, so the software on your server depends on what was chosen for it.

Below is a typical setup for a server used for web hosting or email hosting. It is only an example, not a limit. If you are using your server for something else, that is perfectly fine, and it can be set up with the software and services you need instead.

Typical software and services

  • Windows Server Standard 2025 (previous versions also available)
  • MSP Control Panel
  • IIS Web Server
  • ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, Classic ASP or PHP
  • Persits Classic ASP components (AspEmail, AspUpload, AspJpeg, AspPDF, AspEncrypt)
  • Microsoft DNS with Name Servers
  • SQL Server 2025 Express (other versions and editions also available)
  • MySQL (usually only required for PHP websites)
  • Let's Encrypt SSL
  • IIS URL Rewrite
  • MailEnable free edition (SmarterMail also available)
  • FileZilla FTP Server
  • Web Deploy
  • Windows Firewall and Windows Defender

Self-managed servers

A self-managed server comes with only your choice of Windows Server installed. No other software or services are installed or configured by us, and you set up the server yourself.

Mail on your server

On a fully managed server, mail usually runs on the free edition of MailEnable, which most customers choose. SmarterMail is also available. It is more feature rich than MailEnable, but its licence costs considerably more, see SmarterMail pricing on the SmarterTools website.

Software not on the list

On a fully managed server, other software and services can also be installed. Let us know what you need when we ask about your server setup, or raise a support ticket later.
