Searching for Windows 2008 VPS with substantial uptime
The title describes most of what I am searching for. I have just discovered you guys today and I am very happy to join the community. That being said, I am looking for a very, very dedicated hosting service to provide hosting for my small game. I have recently been a customer of VPSLand and their uptime was horrible but customer support was amazing, it's just not what I need. I'm looking at traffic being no more then 200 customers daily. The game is run using java, and uses virtually no memory.
In retrospect i'm searching for a hosting service that provides 99-100% uptime, nothing less. Customer support must be at least half decent but I am more concerned about uptime. Uptime is truly the only thing that I am concerned about and I am sure everyone viewing this thread has the same ideals. I am looking for a host with a good track history, that being said, they must have a history. A company atleast two years old.
Specifics
20GB hard drive
2GB Ram
1GB Bandwidth
DDOS protection is not necessary but happily accepted
1 Processor
1 IP
Windows 2008 32/64 bit truly doesn't matter
Under 75.00/Monthly
Thanks for the feedback in advance, I truly appreciate it.Last edited by Veldahar; 04-24-2012 at 04:33 PM.

If you are worried about up time you should look dedicated. With a VPS you have all the same risks of being on a shared hosting account but with a bit more resources.

That budget can definitely get a dedi, but you'll lose a little bit of the redundancy. As for VPS, you should be able to easily grab what you need.
Also did you mean 1GB or 1TB of bandwidth? I'm guessing TB right?
EDIT: I recommend 08 R2, and R2 is 64-bit only, so you're good there as well.

So I should look for a Dedicated VPS or a Dedicated Server? What the difference between the two if there is? Can you suggest a company that suits my needs listed above?

If you want excellent uptime, and are not trying to skimp on costs, then look at EuroVPS.

I've used AYK Solutions for servers in the past and they were great. They offer Windows 2008 VPS.

honestly, you should be looking at a real virtualized instance with its own full OS install. A dedicated server is not useful these days with these sorts of minimal requirements. Plus with a virtualized server, you would typically be on much better hardware - faster CPU, RAID10 drives, redundant components, etc.. just get a VM using real virtualization technology like xen, vmware, kvm, etc.. and avoid things like virtuozzo or openvz (which is more like shared hosting). there is zero reason in this day and age to get a dedicated server for a requirement of 2GB RAM. its an inefficient use of resources, bad for the environment and you can never get the same overall value

The budget is good. I suggest you go with a host that offers live host migration of virtual instances.

He should be allright if his VPS is on a server with good uptime.
Generally i don't see a Windows VPS could go down too often unless the host is very bad.
Resource on Windows VPS cannot be oversold at crazy level like Linux.
VPS could go down only when there is hardware problem or network problem which do not occur very often.
