Hi
My question is how do dedicated hosts offer server with widows 2003 server license for so less expensive rate. 2003 server license cost high. Is it because they use pirate software?
:confused:

Not really, We use MS Volume Licencing depending on how many you have it works out around £5GBP/month for a win2k3 server licence.

@champka: Its called SPLA (Service Provider's Licensing Agreement) as offered by Microsoft. Google for SPLA or go to Microsoft's website and sign-up for it. Under SPLA, you 'lease' the license.
