Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : VPS Hosting : Windows installation CD on windows VPS

[zetzetto]

I have recently purchased Godaddy windows VPS without plesk.I tried to install DNS service from control panel->add and remove programs ->add & remove windows components, bu tI was asked fro windows installation CD fro some necessary files.Do I have to supply this CD or would they be located in some location on the server.I have looked in the folder but no luck..
Also it would be good if I could get a free control panel for windows VPS.
Thank you.

Maybe you like to email to GoDaddy as they should help u on this issue.

A Windows VPS provider should give you a remote path to the OS installation files. This is what we do and if they didn't give you these details in your signup email, you should be able to get it through a ticket

ok , I have e-mailed them about the issue and waiting for their reply.Thank you.

As Yash stated, they should either give you a remote path to the i386 folder -or- actually install the service for you on request.

The provider can actually create a Virtuozzo template of the i386 directory and install it into the VPS itself. Its extremely easy to do this, even from vzmc. Ask your provider if they can copy it or create a template and install the template for you.

I have mailed them and they have copied all the neccesary files to c:\i386.
