VPS - Renting Servers
 

I'm thinking of renting out a Virtual Private Server (VPS) running Windows 7 Pro. What do you suggest to pay as a monthly fee and isn't expensive? I need a good bandwidth with SSD hard disks. Location somewhere in Europe if possible as I'm from Malta.

I would prefer something that I can try out for a week or so and then if I'm happy with it, I'll pay for it. I'll be needing at least two user accounts. So, can I use the same VPS and create the two accounts on it or do I need to rent out a separate VPS for each account that I need?

Ovh .

Do they offer a VPS running Windows 7 OS?

I'm looking at their website and this is what I found.

Which package on Ovh would you recommend? There's so many options with plenty of technical wording.

Why not just run a VMWare, VPS seem like more work than a VMWare.

Can connect to VPS via laptop & phone(!) to access accounts.
Not sure if VMware has this option, though I'll be investigating this soon.

Ah yeah of course it can.....

VMware is much easier and better than VPS. VPS is better only in terms of changing your ip address. With VPS you don't have to care about changing your IP address anymore.

It is also question of habits. I use VMware since 2003, tried to replace it with "something more simple" several times. But didnt find anythin better than that.

When you manage 10-15 PP+eBay at the same time - what could be more convenient than 10-15 well-configured virtual machines?

They are isolated from each other, Cookie-crossing excluded, Individual parameters, you may install any soft you wish

And most important - all virtual machines are under you total control on your hard drive. And ofcorse, you will need to spend some time while 1st installation :typing:

Agree, that's the best option for running more than 5 accounts, the only problem is you can not access it from mobile or pad which VPS can.

You could if you had a laptop. I can run all my Virtual Machines from any of my 2 laptops + my Home PC, shoot If I had too I could install the VMWare software on someone's PC and run it from there if I had to.

I don't mean on PC or laptop, of course you can install VMware on your computer, but you can not access vmware from mobile or pad. That's what I mean.

On an Ipad, I believe they now have a few Apps (never tried them) but you probably could on a Dual OS Tablet (Windows 10 & Android) but I have not tried it on this either.....this year I plan to get a Dual OS Tablet so maybe I can test it.

The only app I actually tried is team viewer but it's really not very convenient, you always have to make sure your PC is running at the same time.
