“We have avoided offering VPS hosting plans in the past but with the release of Windows 2008 Hyper-V this has given us the ability to provide a powerful and reliable windows VPS hosting platform to our customers,” explained ResellerChoice CEO, Rob Conley. “In addition we are proud to be one of the first providers to go live with Windows 2008 VPS hosting plans running on Hyper-V. We have added new hardware and network capacity to support our Windows VPS hosting servers with our recent expansion in Peer1 NYC and expect to expand our VPS offerings to Texas and Seattle locations by the end of the year.”
Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V allows users to establish “multiple server roles” within Windows server, making them operate as Windows Virtual Machines (VMs) “running on a single physical machine”. Hyper-V also fully leverages x64 computing and facilitates the use of different operating systems such as Windows and Linux from the same machine.
ResellerChoice has been operating since 2001 and has datacenters in Texas, Seattle and New York City, USA. The company’s Windows 2008 VPS options can also be “resold by customers looking to step into the Windows VPS market without the overhead of management and hardware”.
