Comments on: Lets Start a VPS/VDS WAMP Hosting Service http://www.devside.net/blog/vps-wamp Linux, Windows, MacOS? Who cares. Just give me something that works!

I myself have setup a server for about $1500 with dual CPU and 12GB RAM, and RAID 10 config. the connection at the DC is only $150/month and its dedicated with an entire block of 255 IP's. I am using the new and free VMware server ESXi which can handle anything that my box can (Currently 35 customers paying $12-$45) Sure it will take a while to pay the server itself off, but I am clearing my connection costs and putting green in my pocket which will pay for the server in about 4 months and then it's just smooth sailing. Of course I am looking into buying some backup hardware but again it will pay itself off especially if I grow my base of clients. But as you stated your talking about windows VPS, i think for a company to survive hosting windows VPS they are going to need to offer linux as well to help dampen the blow and headache of Windows. not bad, but as stated before, seems a bit pricier than it could be.

Take a server from Server Intellect base price 200$ then add 4 gigs total Ram 50$ is only 3000$ a year. You could setup 7 vps with 512 ram and 50gig space. Add your windows lease price and you could sell them off for 50-100 price range. you would cover your server. I think your over pricing your base server.
