Price reality in INR

Shared RDP advertises from roughly ₹300–1,500/month, and it delivers exactly what that price buys: a session slice on a multi-tenant Windows box with a shared IP. A genuine Windows VPS runs from ₹5,900/month at WebJi® on KVM virtualisation, with full Administrator access, your own IP and root-level control over reboots, firewalls and software installs. Mid-range Windows VPS configurations land between ₹4,000–8,000/month depending on CPU, RAM and storage. The gap buys isolation: your IP reputation, your data and your ability to install MT4/5, bots or line-of-business apps without asking anyone.
