    Dedicated Windows XP sever?

    Where can I find a dedicated XP server? 2003 isn't an option for the applications I need.

    Thanks

    Windows XP isn't licensed to be used in Dedicated servers that way I'm afraid so you will have some trouble

    It would not surprise me if some dedicated server providers allowed the client to provide their own Windows XP cd-key / license in order to get around this restriction.

    On the other hand, which application are you attempting to host? It may be possible to run this application on Windows 2000/2003.

    BestofData does it, but you'll need to ask them when they will provide servers again.

    Have you looked into running a VM of XP on W2K3?

    AFAIK, XP in a hosting/dedicated server environment is not allowed per SPLA. I recommend doing XP on a colo server to save the provider the risk of losing their SPLA license.
