Any VPS that supports Windows 11 needs to support UEFI-only already. In
particular, the top 3 (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) are all UEFI-capable.
(Akamai is, to my knowledge, not a provider of VPSs.)
Akamai owns Linode, which is a prominent VPS that focuses on Linux
(Linode is a contraction meaning "Linux Node").
DigitalOcean similarly is Linux centric and so Windows doesn't matter.
Most web hosting providers and VPSes are Linux-centric and so Windows
doesn't matter.
