Windows Server 2019 or Windows Server 2022 depending on when the specific hardware cluster was provisioned in their UK data center. Maybe someone can confirm which.

I'd like to know if it's available for a trial period.

It depends what version of the VPS you choose.

Unbelievably, the biggest cost of the VPS is actually the Microsoft licence. We always try and stay a few versions behind to reduce the cost because the incremental difference in versions doesn't really make that much difference.

But if you order a recommended or an expert version, you'll get Windows Server 2022.

So can we trial the VPS for a week or 2 to try it out?

Microsoft don't let us trial Windows, so we are unable to offer a free trial unfortunately. Each day you use a VPS costs us in licensing fees.

they are completely different things.

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) reroutes your internet connection to trick websites that you are located elsewhere and/or with an anonymous IP.

A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is like having a computer running in the Cloud (a data centre somewhere) that you can control remotely.

Think of a VPS as you renting a remote computer in a data centre that is always on. You access this computer through your own PC, laptop or phone. You set up and run Bet Angel directly on this remote computer and leave it running 24/7 if you want. Presumably the Bet Angel VPS and software is built to run Bet Angel as efficiently as possible and probably physically sited as close to Betfair servers as possible to minimise latency when triggering bets.
