Tons of demand. But they get abused like no other.
And then when you tell someone it is not OK to run a runescape bot 24x7 eating 100% of 4 cores 24x7 they call you names and make you sad.
BTW, is there a way the swap can be disabled? I think that's a problem with Windows VPS
You mean turn of the page file?
yeah, that
You would do that within the guest OS under system properties.
I found it ironic that you brought this up.
How much would be the low cost vps cost?
With Windows Os " License included " $15.00 a month for a 2CPU @3.5GHz 30Gb drive and 4GB Ram
License included?
yes
I was looking for windows vps with 2 CPU , 1 GB ram , 20 GB HDD , I wana buy 30 of those.
that's cheap :-)
@serverian
if i have my own licence then?
i would do it for $10.00 monthly. These servers are running KVM,RAID10, with Xeon E3-1270V3 @3.5GHz.
we will have these servers listed on our site in a few more days as we get closer to release.
if you want to pre order i will give you 10% off here is order link.
use promo code " winpreorder "

@Clancoms
My recommendation:
Why? (one might ask)
It's not very fun.
@netomx
Bad idea, it would end up with memory errors when you run out of RAM.
Applications crashing, shit like that.
Actually, Windows Server handles pretty well without the page file; and stops abusing the hell out of disk as well. Of course, it depends on what kind of RAM we're talking about.
A Windows Server 2008 R2 Web Edition w/o any pagefile runs just fine, with Apache/MySQL/PHP or IIS/PHP/MySQL or IIS/ASP.NET/MySQL . The only thing you can't do without a pagefile is save kernel dumps (and nobody that buys a VPS here ever reads those anyways...)
If you use all your RAM, Windows will stop serving memory requests; or start with that "blah blah is using all your RAM, do you want to close it" popup annoyance; even on the server editions.
You can get away with more RAM as well if you uninstall the GUI (who needs that once you have your programs running anyways?) You can do this from PowerShell at any time by using the
Remove-WindowsFeature
command.In Linux it's called OOM, same shit happens in windows. An application that suddenly stops responding because there is no more memory available is what I call crashing.
Windows will ofcourse run fine without the pagefile, as long as you never use more menory then available.
@Hardcloud what you suggest and removing the GUI is one way of saving memory and by that more RAM will be available to other applications. It will however not help if you allocate more memory then there is available to the system.
I like to sell Windows vps instead of Linux.
Many of peoples use Windows VPS for good purpose and you can hardly find a linux vps customers until you sell your VPS at $1/m or $10 yearly...
