Dedicated Server with Windows for Noob
Any recommendations on a dedicated server something like an E3-1230 or higher with at least 16 Gig of RAM and Windows somewhere in North America. I see SYS offers them but I am the first to admit I am a complete noob and just want a dedicated server with Windows or something where I can login and get to work instead of screwing around.

You see the problem here? What do you plan to use that dedi for? Maybe you're better off with a smaller server, or a specialized provider.
No problem in my eyes
I want a server running Windows 2008, much like a VPS running Windows but they lack the power I need. As for hardware specs, RAM has to be 16 Gig but I will happily take any comparable CPU. I could go the Kimsufi route but I don't want to mess around with the "hack" to get Windows installed, so I will happily pay extra for the license. However, if there apparently is a big problem then I guess I will have to try out Kimsufi.
And you need that power what for...
For taking over the world, Pinky.
It's easy, one simple command
Copy and paste also.
Windows Server 2008? Oh, boy...
How much are you looking to pay per month?
Price?
Scary isn't it. I wonder how the world continues to spin...
Holy shiz... Lizard men !
Check out delimiter for USA. But why 2008 ?
In fairness, 2008 is still on extended support. But deploying a new 2008 instance is silly at this point.
Insert any version of Windows then, guys. But thanks for pointing it out.
We have some great deals on E3s w/16GB RAM in Seattle, and other deals priced a little higher in Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, and Buffalo. Windows 2008 is available. PM if you are interested.
What's your budget?
Up to and around $100 USD a month depending on the hardware etc.
This is where you get 5+ people telling you to increase your budget.
Then they need to make offers
. I've already PMed one person from above and waiting on their reply. Thanks!
I would suggest paying a member to set up a Windows box on Online. Or perhaps you can do it yourself with Proxmox on SyS or any other provider...
E3-1240v3
16GB ram
120GB ssd
10TB bandwidth
5 IP's
$49/mo
Windows installed within 8 hours...
Let me know.
Thanks..
If you are happy to order the server from Online - and provide your own Windows key, I am happy to install Windows on it for you. I'll do it for £20
