If you are renting a server, the provider will usually tack on windows for an additional cost per month.
If you want to go about getting it yourself, take a look at Microsoft's SPLA programme.It's Scott!

they wrote:
What kind of MBS do you want to host, Navision or Axapta? If you do not want to host it, you do not need this agreement.
and:
If you do not use any functionality of the server like file, print or share or the active directory, you can use the "unauthenticated" Windows Server licence.
What does it mean, I can't understand.

You'll be "suprised" to hear they dont actually understand the Hosting industry very well... or as well as they think they do.SOA/SaaS/Cloud & Hosting Technology Evangelist
