Hi to all..
I spent one day in accomodating with the VPS. I have enough experience in managing some 2000 and one 2003 boxes so I must say almost everything is working quite fine. I am using all the features, uploading and setting up a CMS as we speak in fact.
As for the server itself. The remote desktop is responsive, everything seems to be working quite all right. TBH I've used only CPanel until recently and Plesk is a little bit different but usable.
I see the main advantage of offering Win VPSes in the multi-tier application market. As long as you need specific components installed you were stuck to the dedicated solutions only. This way VPS can be very adjustable to the needs of the costumers.
As far as I can see the server says it's a 2.8 dual xeon with 32mb ram (heh :). But I could not have any serious speed tests since the common benchmark programs dont run on win 2003 and - i need application and database performance - not a box speed.
The thing that made me interested was the install of MS SQL. Either you guys have a very nice deal with MS or these boxes are going to cost like hell...
I am planning to test the box in the following days, I hope that 7.5 Plesk will bring more newbies to try. I will write my progress both on this forum and my wrap-up would be published on WHT after authorisation of the Defender staff...
