    Hi there!

    I am looking for a Windows VPS or a small dedicated server

    I am currently looking into http://vpsland.com/xlwin.html , first plan, seems pretty nice price but I am not sure they are providing any control panel with it.

    Anyway, My req are

    40GB+ Space
    1 TB+ Bandwidth
    2 IPs min
    HELM Control Panel ( I don't want plesk please )
    512 MB - 1 GB RAM

    Price : $50-$80 ( I am not sure the price is too low , please suggest if you got a good spec server )

    Also, please mention about MSSQL database


    Thanks in advance
    Vivek

    Helm renting license costs around $40 itself I believe. I doubt you can find out any good offer. If it's unmanaged, you might need to double your budget to $150 at least. If it's managed, the budget should be around $300. MSSQL is much more expensive with its license.

    Qualityhosting,

    If you are in a need of MS SQL Standard, you can expect to pay around $250/mo for the license alone. I would also recommend staying away from HELM as Parallels bought that company our and pretty much left it. If you read their forums at webhostautomation.com you'll see why you should stay clear from them. My recommendation is DotNetPanel, far better. This control panel is very powerful and is built for speed and reliability.

    We have a list of 17 servers that you can choose from. Starting price is $34.95. You can find the list here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=850604. We will also give you the SmarterTools Bundle Pro pack that is valued at $750 (Includes SmarterMail v5 Pro, SmarterTrack v3, SmarterStats v3). We are also having a special in that thread that if you purchase a server that has a setup fee, that setup fee will be credit towards your next invoice!!!

    If you are willing to re-consider Plesk control panel as an option then you may checkout our Semi Dedicated Servers

    HELM and PLESK are the same company now so slowly but surely the HELM panel is being changed. We can do a VPS with the current version of Plesk for you.

    Thanks for the replies, I used Plesk before and don't want to use it anymore.
    eukhost, your vps seems pretty big for me , it cost around $116 w/o control panel

    Speedy059 : $115 with cp

    I need something low ,
    one guy offered me (from DP) HELM with 40GB for $80 per month, P4,1gb ram.
    Not sure he is reliable or not, I will consider other offers too

    Which dedicated server are you interested in? We also offer Windows 2003 VPS's that start at 19.99/mo. Keep in mind the software is a steal if you don't already have smartertools software.

    Hi

    Can you show me your list of windows VPs ? A decent one,
    I am also looking into FDC's package as they are giving unmetered bandwidth as well as control panel free. Plus 30 IPs

    OK, how about this:

    2.4GHZ Intel P4 CPU
    160GB Hard Disk
    512MB RAM
    Windows Server 2003
    Helm 100 Domain license
    $125 Per month

    If this is to much for you/to expensive, I can go lower :)

    Well, lower will be better as I am not looking for hosting clients sites, but for some other purpose.
    But will be hosting some clients just for balancing the server cost.

    80GB Hard Disk
    1GB RAM

    Qualityhosts: Here's a list of our VPS's https://www.dmehosting.com/Clients/cart.php?gid=0000000006

    You can't compare these VPS's with FDC because they are much better. If you wanted 64mb of ram and 100GB of bandwidth, then yes we can throw in a CP as well. For what you are getting these VPS's are a lot better than was FDC provides.
