Any decent Windows 2012 plans out there
Time marches on, and at work we're slowing moving to Windows 2012 on our new servers, so I need to get up to speed.
Are there any half-decent providers offering Windows 2012 plan, inc license? I'd only need this for a short time for testing/learning, so a trial license is fine. Location doesn't really matter too much, anywhere in Europe or Canada/east-coast US would be ideal. Minimal bandwidth required, other specs just need to be the minimum to run Win2012 at a decent clip.

Yes, premium hostingandvps KVM.
5.5 usd for 1gb ram instance

Winity - thisisanaffiliatelink would be my suggestion.
HostingandVPS? No chance. Not having anything to do with that bellend's ventures.
I only see Win 2008 in the template list?
I have some personal 'issues' with Oktay so still on a self-imposed ban, but thanks for the suggestion, may have to swallow my pride if nothing else crops up.
It will be provisioned with 2012r2, don't worry
Also we can do 7 days free test if you wish
Cheers, but I think I can trust you with my $ :-)
No, not strange at all. In fact, have a flag.
Flag.
We have W2012R2 with license.
Germany, France, Canada.

Think Inception Hosting still have a promo around for UK and Miami.
Trial license since it's only for testing.
I thought they only did Windows 2008 R2 otherwise they'd be my first port of call.
Address that to a mod, I can't answer it for you.
He never said that. He just doesn't want to buy that crap. I am surprised to know they are still around.
Uh.
They could have the most awesome nodes in the world and i still wouldn't touch them due to the past conduct of the owner.
I have one in Miami and one in the UK. So they do offer 2012 on the HVM lineup.
Does one location generally perform better than the other? I seem to recall that the Miami node was absolutely superb and ran like greased chicken shit, whereas the UK node was decent, but not in the same league.
hi sz1!
inb4 unconvincing denial.
Winity gets my vote (yes I know it was already mentioned)
Why downgrade from 2008 to 2012 when you can upgrade to Linux?
Because your boss says so. Or because your clients do use Windows software.
@nekki Latency for Miami (rdp) is concerning sometimes 120-14ms.
My uk has only 1 gb ram but I find it to suit me better then the Miami one.
If you "need" EU I would go for the UK one.
It's as @Nyr said. We use software and applications that aren't available on Linux, plus our support structure is geared up heavily for Windows, so for us it's the only option.
My only victory was that I managed to secure a RedHat server a couple of years ago, but that's only used for occasional testing and non-critical applications, and I'm the only person able to support it.
