VM hosting

Hi,

I am looking for a cloud based service from someone that offers virtual server hosting in cold storage mode (shutdown).

Currently we have a physical server running Windows 2012 Hyper V hosting 1x VM (Domain controller / File server.
Our data is backed up to cloud storage but I would also like to export the VM to the cloud for disaster recover, for example, fire/flood etc so the server could be spun up from any location and logged into if required.  I understand there would be security updates missing but that doesn't seem a massive issue.  I've looked around and the prices seem to be very steep because of the size of the VM 600 Gig.
I'm not sure what to do for the best but I need to have a backup server offsite.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers
John

Really? think I might be on the right road here then as I'm waiting for a call back.  I'll see what they have to offer and price.
Have you used it yourself?  I was looking here, prices look good but not sure on support etc

We use our own solution for clients to stream their backups to our site (Veeam CloudConnect). It's revenue for us instead of Microsoft or other third party. ;)
