I'm about to order a VPS from OVH. Called them up to ask a few questions and couldn't really get a straight forward answer from them

Windows 2012 R2 std, is it suitable for server files?

Go for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64. But, it will be also working on 2012 R2 :):

Okay awesome. I don't wanna drop to much money into a server just yet ^_^ so going for a cheap cloud one so me and some friends can do test. Then when we launch i'll upgrade

Yes, it's fine for private testing. But if you will want to open it for public, it will be better to get something more powerful :): But it also depends on number of players what you will have. it will be enough for maybe 50-100 players. So if you have bigger plans, get at least 4 cores, 8 GB RAM and some bigger HDD - 100+GB should be fine :):

Thanks for the help Jacubb :) really appreciate it. Yes there is only going to be about 10-20 testers before i decide to upgrade ^_^
I want server stable before launch :D

Basically if you looking to get famous and avoid down time i suggest you get a dedicated server cause VPS from ovh goes down by DDos attacks as hell.

Frameworks should be installed by default, if not, you can install them via Server Manager or how it's called. MSSQL you can install normally like any other software.

Yeah got it working ^_^ server is up and running without any problems.

Just need to figure out web

1. Yes, use remote desktop.
2. Things like .NET Frameworks and Visual C++ packages are usually pre-installed on Windows Server platforms, so you will have to install stuff like text editor for editing server files and maybe some webserver if you will want to host website on the same machine.
3. Yes, it will be your global IP so you must use it in server files configs everywhere, where should be global IP (ConnectServer and game client). If you will host on this machine your website, you will have to redirect your domain to this IP too.
4. You can buy domain only for 1 year or longer. You can buy com domain for ~5-10 USD, it's not a big deal.

1. Keep Windows Firewall enabled.
2. You need to block DataServers and allow ConnectServer and GameServers.
3. Download of Express edition is available directly on Microsoft's website.

After you buy a domain, you need to park it to your host (host ip)
i do that mostly with cloudflare ;)

register at cloudflare free/ add domain xxxxx.com then u will get some nameservers 1 and 2
go to your site where you bought your domain from and select the domain you bought, set nameservers - and use the nameservers you got from cloudflare, then go next steps in cloudflare and put the ip's of the server in the cloudflare domain settings and wait abit and it should work.
