Cool Mike! I'm waiting for this already!
Always dying for the HD upgrade option! And, do you have 750GB HD?
What is the service monitoring all about?
How much is it to upgrade to dual 1TB HD? (price and billing page not updated with that..)

I read that Citrix XenServer Express 4.1.0 64-Bit can only support 4Gb RAM and 4 VPS simultaneously running. Is it the case with your offer (if this is the case, how much monthly for XenServer enterprise)? Also, is it possible to transfer Microsoft VHD virtual images to XEN? Does XEN support WinXP, Centos 5.1?
I ask all this since you do not support Windows and I already have host with MS Virtual Server VPS-s on it.

The Express (free) version of Citrix XenServer will not allow any VPS to use more the 4GB of RAM. You can purchase a license key from Citrix to remove that limit.
The other option, as you point out, is to run Xen on top of a standard linux distro. There is no licensing required for this as Xen itself is available free of charge.
We do have a FAQ specific for installing Windows 2003 on Xen (this is tailored for CentOS):https://www.take2hosting.com/?p=user...#InstallingXen
Although we haven't tried it, Xen does support Windows XP.
There is some support for VHD in Citrix XenServer; I'm not sure the extent of it though. There is also some support for VHD in the open source Xen project -- but again, I'm not sure the extent of it. It may be rather limited or limited to conversion only.
Asking in one of the Xen mailing lists will almost certainly yield better information than I have.

You're looking at the Maximum Usage (Full Usage 1:1 in/out ration) column. That's 100 Mbps in + 100 Mbps out.
33TB would be one direction only.

67TB is the maximum he can get out of the server. They had stated clearly, thats the maximum bandwidth he/she can go, which is roughly 33TB*2.
