How much does a terminal server cost for a small business?

What the monthly package covers

The four standard NUXOA plans cost S: €70, M: €90, L: €140, XL: €200 net per month. Each includes three terminal users. Plans differ in vCPU, RAM and NVMe storage, among other resources. Our terminal server page lists the current specifications and ordering options.

The managed service includes setup, updates, monitoring, DDoS protection and backups. We retain seven daily onsite backups and two weekly offsite backups. Support is available around the clock through the ticket system. Custom migration and additional software are scoped for your environment.

Worked example for five users

Suppose TERMINAL M at €90 net per month is suitable after reviewing your applications. Five required accounts mean adding two users to the three already included. At €7 each, this gives €90 + 2 × €7 = €104 net per month. Office, other additional software and a separately agreed migration are not included in this example.

This is a price calculation, not a capacity guarantee for this plan. Five people using lightweight office applications create a different workload from five people running large databases and many applications at once. A low monthly price is of little benefit if users regularly have to wait.

Check users and software separately

Record everyone who needs access as well as the number of simultaneously active sessions. This separates access planning from resource sizing. Windows Server, Remote Desktop Services, Office and business applications have their own licensing terms. Do not automatically assume existing desktop licences cover terminal server use.

To obtain a reliable quote, supply product names, versions, existing licence agreements and vendor approval for multi-user operation. For specialist software, also record required databases, integrations and any connected devices.

Allow for one-off work

Setting up a server and migrating an established working environment are different tasks. User profiles, file shares, printers, scanners and application data need their own plan. Agree what will be transferred, who will test it and how long the previous environment remains available for rollback.

Before switching over, test a typical working day with representative tasks: sign-in, documents, printing, exports and end-of-day processing. Measure resource utilisation and waiting times. This provides a basis for deciding whether the selected plan is suitable or whether additional resources are more economical.

Information that makes quotes comparable

• List applications and versions, required accounts and concurrent sessions.
• Document data volume, growth, printers and integrations.
• Compare recurring plans, extra licences and one-off migration work separately.
• Clarify backups, recovery, contract duration and responsibilities before ordering.
