Windows Shells

Does anyone have a recommendation for a company from which I can rent limited Windows accounts?
I have some clients who need 50-100 different Windows accounts for a project they're working on; Renting a dedicated server for each one is a bit much, but Terminal Services would be fine.
Any thoughts appreciated, and Thanks.

Hi
to the best of my knowledge you wont get TS with shared/reseller hosting.
However you could rent a dedicated server with ie Virutozzo installed, and give each client a container.

Have you thought on getting a VPS until you get a bit more money coming in so you can upgrade to a dedicated server ?

I certainly could run my own VPS for each of them, but I don't want to get into the business of watching the accounts for overages, abusive behavior, etc, I'd rather pay a company to have that outsouced.
As for Renting a VPS per user, as I understand the Windows licensing fees for this would be quite high, esp. when combined with the VPS fees, etc ;(
A Windows User with TS really would work best for this situation.

You could just toss up an actual terminal server if these clients are "friendly" to each other. If they are not from the same company there might be security issues with letting them roam around on the same OS.
