Cheapest way to get a Windows VM going for hosting asp.net

eloi

Hi
As above, what licenses and VM service could I go for to get a ASP.NET web server with mssql going?
I supposed 512mb lowendbox might cut it?

If you don't have your own license, BuyVM offer Windows 2003 for free with their KVM plans.

Hi
Burst.net seems to have really nice pricing but is it reliable?
Is there any free or cheap control panel that I can use?

@eloi - yeah WebsitePanel, Windows VMs try EDIS or Prometeus

Or, if you can get hold of your own windows licence, quite a few providers allow you to use your own image and licence on a KVM server.

We have legally licensed windows Server 2008RC2 Web (does not work with it) Standard and Enterprise.
Lowest Biz plan is 1 GB 11.57 Eur.
There is also the gray area of getting your own license.

For Windows 2008R2 without 1.5GB RAM and 40GB HDD don't even try

I beg to differ:

I guess it depends on provider.

@Maounique - it depends from server load, in my case 350MB just for MySQL plus 300MB for main web app. Memory load is always around 80%.
