corgitech is pretty amazing
Next time read my post...
Budget LEB Price So $7 = the max
How much does a windows license cost anyway?
I don't know
The provider need a SPLA Microsoft license agreement to offer Windows (or any other microsoft software) as a service. What version of windows are you looking for? (different prices for different versions )
Bought one from ccpgsolutions http://ccpg.co.uk/
But not instant setup, i'm wondering if they are still in business
Cheapest Windows VPS I've seen are in the $10 - 15 range.
Yes, it's difficult to offer them below that, with licensing costs usually around $80-100/mo for an 8-core host.
I think that the licensing model of spla is really crazy, don't you?
You certainly have to jump through a few hoops to get what you need (what else is new with MS), but the licensing costs for their end-user services like Server 2008 and Exchange actually aren't bad.
Yes prices aren't bad, I just remember days with my MS specialist guys reading again and again the fine prints to understand how per cpu model was to be handled in virtual environment
Why don't you get a XEN VPS for at 7$ or less?
There is an option in lowendbox

This is Linux only vps. You need XEN-HVM if you want run Windows.
@Joodle: I am second to the use Corgitech Vmware for 6 dollar 512m 20g. You can install your own window iso. They are currently doing promo until end of this month.
I have their earlier promo 6.99 for 512m and 40g 1Tb.
I'll avoid having their Dallas data center. I have problem with Dallas so asked to move to NYC and happy with it. They have various location.
My first VPS provider got problems with the Dallas DC too, funny
