Windows VPS?

djvdorp

I might want to get a VPS also capable of running windows server 2008, for learning purposes.
I know VMware does support windows, but what other techniques do? (KVM?)

And do you know any good windows VPS providers (LEB)?
Probably need like 512mb ram.

Windows runs fine with Xen and KVM as well.

Xen HVM is what you want, Not Xen PV.

Thanks!

But isn't KVM kinda like the improved version of Xen HVM? At least thats what i got from it..

I was replying to Rens, Not all Xen works

djvdorp, I guess you're dutch?
XenServer also supports this, I got a dedicated box running it and it's awesome for all my screw-up projects. Oh yea and it's free.

Yes I am Dutch indeed! (how did you know :P)

But you got a dedicated server, or a dedicated box at home running XenServer?
Pretty awesome it's free though!

The XenServer software is free I mean, Im leasing the server.
I think I saw some offers on LEB for a cheap windows VPS.

You said "voor" instead of "for", pretty obvious :P

Hehe, stupid me. Was kinda somewhere else with my thoughts!

Have you got your own windows server 2008 licence? If so then you can just use any XEN HVM or KVM vps.

No, not yet. Was more looking for a deal with a license included.

Burst is cheap for windows VPS; although mileage may vary

This is probably the cheapest windows vps you will find without a licence - http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/burstnet-6-36-windows-4-36-openvz-512mb-vps-in-scranton-la-and-miami/

I wanted to grab that too, but now the deal seems gone and there lowest plan is only 384mb ram... pretty low for win2008.
