windows VPS need help

Your Host os would have virtulization like VMWare or Hyper-v for windows.

ok most will have windows server 2008 or linux as the guest OS,  apache, ngnix, IIS or litespeed web servers, the usual windows requires services/files to run those and your other services like SQL servers, and a control panel for the vps so users can reload if needed, and a control panel like cpanel, plesk or  enkompass.

Windows VPS requirements are 1GB RAM and at least 18-30GB Disk space for each VPS. You will need at least 2GB when having a control panel. as they do take up a lot of RAM.

Linux i recommend 512MB with a control panel and 10GB disk space at minimum. 2GB is a great size to offer.

thank you  
I need to install VMWare or Hyper-v  or windows first as node ?
which windows  server 2008 version I need to install ?
need I to purchase windows  server 2008 for each VPS ?

thank you
lets go with VMware
so here I need to :
1- install  simple windows server 2008
2- install VMware
each vps I created in VMware need to complet windows server 2008 installation and license for each one ?

VMWAre ESXi Does not need an underlaying operating system so you just need to installl ESXi and then your guest OS which would be server 2008 or RedHat Linux.

Hyper-v can be installed on a server 2008 host OS as inastalled in the Hyper-v role. Be sure your hardware supports it.

yes each does need to be licensed. Please refer to MS Licensing guidelines for datacenters. They may give you a discount on a per VM license.

That's why they call ESXi a "bare metal" hypervisor.

I will reload my server to install VMware ESX 4.0 (I don't know if it is similar to VMwAre ESXi  ) this only version I find in OS types,
and I will get back to you after 2 hours
Thank you very much

Not a problem and let me know how ESXi works out for you!

thank you

I recommend ESXi though? Did you buy the copy of ESX or are you running a free or trial version!!!!

I think it is  a full version from datacenter there is no other option to chose ESXi

thank you very much for your quick answer

hrrm looks like they've replaced ESX with ESXi.....
