Hi, I can spin up for free a Windows VPS (win server 2016 with graphical interface or win server 2022 core version since it has only 1GB of RAM). The problem is that outside of Linux I have absolutely no experience. I would like to try hosting something also on Windows server just to take away some load from other machines or even just to learn something new.

Therefore I have the following questions:

*Is there any starting resource for windows selfhosting you can recommend? I would love if a list like the awesome selfhosted existed for services that can run on windows.

*Is there anything non-enterprise for which a windows server would provide any advantage over Linux?

*Does anyone self hosts on windows server? Can I ask what you use it for?

Thanks
