Los Angeles Windows VPS
Hi,
I want a Los Angeles Windows VPS with the following configuration:
RAM: 512MB~1GB
Bandwidth: 500GB~1TB
Space: 30GB~50GB
Port Speed: 10Mbps~100Mbps
Price: $5~10
For operating system, I need Windows XP or Win 2003 available.
Many thanks.
Thanked by 1Wack

Windows XP? o.o
I need this for backup server so I don't need Windows Server 2003/2008.
Microsoft prohibits the public selling and/or use of virtual machines (or any public facing servers for that matter) that use Microsoft Windows desktop-based operating systems, such as Windows XP.
Hmm...Okay, I accept Win 2003.
We can do this with Windows Server 2008 in Buffalo, NY.

However if you absolutely require Los Angeles - would a Linux VPS work? I noticed you mentioned this is for backup purposes, its definitely more efficient to run backup servers on Linux.
Burstnet will fit your budget. Urpad has some offers too

SonicVPS has some very affordable Windows VM's.
Windows 2003 is provided with a license. 2008 is available but you'd have to BYOL.

Windows Server 2003 should be just fine for you. I've been looking for such Windows VPS's for a while but I didn't find such configurations at an ideal price.
BTW, anyone offers Windows Server 2012? Just tried and it's significantly lighter than server 2008 r2.
SonicVPS
They're great
Any other suggestions?
BurstNET
EDIT: Whoops it had been mentioned already sorry.
Ah crud ;( seems out of stock, would love to get my hands on one of these VPS
BurstNet is a little bad...althought their price is the best.
Submit a sales ticket if you want a VPS with us.
BuyVM are awesome - I believe they're releasing stock in 1 - 2 weeks, if they don't have any at the moment.
Burst: I'm not sure why, but they always cop a lot of slack from the customers on WHT. We did have a node or 2 with them as purely backup DNS at one stage and I didn't have any issues with them what so ever.
@SonicVPS
Looks like they do: http://doesbuyvmhavestock.com/
Go with BuyVM's KVM 1GB plan - do it now as there's only 1 left (at the time of writing this message)!
Hmm... this is weird. Windows 2003/2008 DC edition carries the same price tag on the SPLA list.
BuyVM's price is a little high...
If KVM-512 can do $8 I will try.
Right, and we'd have to have both licensed against the node
We sell so few 1G/2G per node that there isn't a real 'demand' for 2k8 anyways. No one in their right mind will try to run it on anything smaller unless they plan to abuse their page file.
I'm not seeing a reason to go license a 2k8 DC license for 'possibly' 5 people over the whole company.

We don't offer any discounts, sorry.
SonicVPS is within our racks if you're looking for the west coast. Their prices are a lot more in line with what you're after ($7/m for 512M)

I have been confused when seeing requests / offers for LEBs with windows on them. Windows is much more resource intensive then linux is. Can someone explain what the purpose is for these?
Also how can a Windows VPS be viable for ~$7 a month? Doesn't licensing alone make it cost prohibitive?
We offer windows VPS's in LA http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/120610#Comment_120610
You might need Windows technology, e.g. ASP.NET, IIS, Sharepoint, SQL Server?
If I remember correctly SPLA licenses do have downgrade rights, meaning to say if the node is licensed with Wndows 2012 DC edition, the VMs may run 2003, 2008 or 2012.
But yeah, I totally agree with you that those with the right mind wouldn't want to run 08 on a tiny VM.
I need this WinVPS for FTP server(backup) and run Windows programs 24/7, so that's why I need Windows.
