Toronto based web hosting provider, Cirrus Tech Ltd., has added Windows Server 2008 R2 to the list of operating systems available on their Virtual Private Servers (VPS). Businesses and .NET developers looking for latest Windows Server OS can choose from 5 different Windows VPS plans that meet their individual requirements.
Windows Server 2008 R2 is the latest operating system for servers from Microsoft geared toward web applications and development. It is built on the same core operating system as Windows 7 and has vast improvements over its predecessor, Windows Server 2003. Some of the improvements are enhanced stability and security and improved .NET support. Cirrus Tech aims to provide one of the most reliable Windows VPS solution on the market with the introduction of their Windows Server 2008 R2 VPSes.
The addition of Windows Server 2008 R2 comes after Cirrus Tech’s major update of their VPS hosting plans. These updates include a complete overhaul of their VPS hosting infrastructure, increased dedicated resources across all VPS plans, and lower prices. All Windows VPS plans come with full remote desktop access (RDP) in addition to the Plesk 10 Control Panel. Windows 2008 R2 VPSes include IIS 7.5 and .NET 4.0 support.
Cirrus Tech Windows VPS plans offers a mix of both performance and affordability for clients moving up from a shared hosting environment. It also offers an attractive solution for dedicated server clients wanting to take advantage of the benefits inherent in a virtual hosting environment, such as reduced costs and scalability without giving up control. Windows VPS plans start with 20 GB of disk space and 1 GB of RAM and can scale all the way up to plans that include 250 GB of disk space and 8 GB of RAM!
Cirrus Tech will continue to offer Windows Server 2003 for both new and existing clients alongside Windows Server 2008 R2. Clients simply need to choose the version of Windows Server they require during the ordering process. For clients looking for alternative hosting solutions, Cirrus Tech provides Windows Server 2008 R2 on their Xen Virtual Machine (VMs) and dedicated server plans. Windows Server 2008 R2 is also the operating system powering their Windows shared hosting plans.
