Heya,
As mentioned you can run the database server on a Ubuntu droplet, but for the Windows servers this is not currently available.

Additionally if you have created a Paperspace account before 1st of July 2024 you can still manage your Windows applications.

Hope that this helps!
Heya,
At this point DigitalOcean does not support Windows servers however there is an idea posted on our ideas board here -

What I’ll recommend you is to give it an upvote so that it can happen at some point.
Hey @mohamedosama,
You can run your database SQL server on a Ubuntu server as well. You can follow the steps on how to do that here:
Regarding the Windows servers, this is not possible as of the time being. But it looks like someone has had the same idea before and has posted it on our Product Ideas board. The best thing to do would be to head over and add your vote to it, as well as adding any additional information in the comments for exactly what you’d like to see implemented!
Hope that helps!
