Cheap windows vm

I'm looking for a cheap windows VM for a family member. Location preferably in the eu. It's for testing a small ruby setup. Not sure about the resources it'll need but minimal specs to run windows should be fine I guess. Not much bandwidth needed at this stage. It's been a while since I used windows on a server so I'm not sure what it'll cost so there's no set budget. Need a decent network though.

Do you need licensing as well or BYO?
We can provide KVM in NL with custom ISO support.
The costs for a license will most likely be the most expensive part of the VPS.
With Windows you should not go any lower than 1GB ram. Depending on your kind-of usage 1GB might even be too small.
i can provide you this in Romania , the price start from 7 $/mo , let me know if the location is ok
How much are licences these days? BYO might be ok, have to check with him. I was thinking running windows trial at first to test performance and such before committing to a licence.
Yes, that's fine. There is 180 day evaluation I believe.
PM me if you're interested.
Sounds reasonable. Romania may work. Just checking what's available at the moment but will pm you if it's a go. Cheers.
If you need a licensed Windows VPS, we can do this in the UK:
2 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 40GB SSD Storage, 3TB Bandwidth & Windows Server 2012.
$9/month.
I think so. not sure as like I said, haven't used windows for a while on a server will look that up. NL would work. Will pm you if I need more info and discuss things.
We can do a KVM for you in Netherlands with a Windows Server 2012 license, or you can bring your own. Drop me a PM if interested and I will be happy to set you up with a free trial first :-)
I've PMed you with our offer

Thanks but we won't have more slices for a bit Ran into some problems getting RAM since there's a sudden mad dash for everyone to get DDR3 RAM and prices spiked like mad. Took me about a week and an extra ~$4000 to get what we needed.

Why suddenly people needed RAM?
Wish I knew. RAM went from around $130/4-pack to $250/4-pack bundle in a couple months. I originally secured a deal for $140/4-pack but he either realized the prices were spiking hard or he really did run out of inventory. His claim was he sold ~200 4-packs within a week due to the spike and that he had nothing left.
I ended up having to pay $188/4-pack which sucked for sure :P

Bummer. I've been trying to justify getting one of your servers for ages as everyone speaks highly of your services. Just when I've got a good usage for them you're out oh well, eventually I'll probably get one from you. I guess I'll have to wait for your Luxembourg kvms .
