Windows Virtual Private Server

[Pino]

Hey,

Has anyone had any experiance with windows VPS? I got told by my current host that they will not provide a VPS because its too slow... (Serious that was the extent of the technical explination)

Is this true? Or just a poor excuse?

Vitual Private Server?

I'd guess that using a full Windows Server product is probably "heavier" in some ways than they're used to with something like a stripped Linux Server config. More advanced hosts often will offer a similarly stripped edition of a Windows Server though, usually Web Edition.
