I am just wondering if any member here has experience with
VPS (Virtual Private Server) for Windows.
Got fed up with shared web hosting because of their lousy technical support to customers, and I am only guessing that having a VPS might improve things as I will be the administrator of the server and can fix the problems myself (so I hope) without the need to wait for the help of someone who doesn't know what he is doing.
Also I need the experience for my personal joy and no doubt headache. :)
The difference in cost can be covered by hosting my current website customers or new ones on my VPS, instead of them hosting all over the place.
Any ideas, experience, pitfalls that I am not aware of?
 
Some companies require up to $20 per each "hardware reset" - Check this very carefully :) And since you're getting server, and you don't have it's administration experience, sure, you'll need a lot of resets :)

Thanks BombedOne for the link to webhostingtalk in another thread.
It looks like a very good source of information.
From what I have seen already, there are VPS for Windows, with Plesk control panel and they have the capability to do a remote shutdown by the customer. Is this what you meant by "hardware reset?"
It is a jungle out there with VPS offers from hundreds of companies.
Each one giving different specs and prices, but you only find out what is missing when you actually sign up.
It won't be long before a dedicated server will be offered for the same prices as a VPS NOW.
