The costs of server hardware, IT management and network infrastructure within your business can be a very costly.

But luckily there is cheaper and sometimes better option to use Windows VPS Hosting. Windows VPS hosting providers such as ResellerChoice you can retain all the power you would get from windows dedicated servers but only pay a fraction of the cost. For example, if you have multiple windows servers in your office they tend to take up a lot of room, power and management.

Windows VPS hosting providers can offer you reduced cost, simply by creating virtual multiple windows servers on a single physical server.

You can create private networks or complete virtual clusters of servers or load balanced geographically diverse servers all at a fraction of the costs.

Windows VPS hosting providers using Microsoft such as ResellerChoice offer this economical solution to help small businesses run the multiple servers that are often required at a fraction of the cost of dedicated hardware. Microsoft has released new technology, called Hyper-V, which comes as a key feature with Windows Server 2008 and continues to be the talked about in the IT world as possible contender in a world once powered by VMware and Linux.

It’s really everything you need and would expect from your old servers but with windows VPS hosting you won’t need the dedicated hardware on site and just have one small monthly fee.

The system that Windows has created uses isolation of partitions to separate sections of the server. While there will be one root partition running on a Windows Server 2008, the technology of Hyper-V will allow the server to create ‘child partitions’. These child partitions act as individual servers but running off one server. The child partitions don’t have access to the hardware directly. Rather, these partitions simply get a view of the hardware, and it’s more in a virtual environment.

Now windows hosting providers and take a single server and split the costs among two or more customers allowing each customer to now pay less by sharing the costs of the physical host server.
So, it can work, but you’re a business, and what you want to know about is cost. For small businesses, plans for windows vps servers running this new technology are actually rather low in cost.
