Windows VPS Hosting

I've been thinking for a while now that I might buy a Windows VPS, I already have a Linux one here (eUKHost) and I love it!

But I can't help thinking that the Disk Space and Monthly Bandwidth for the Windows VPS should be the same or just a little less then the Linux packages.

Will these packages be upgrade any time soon?

Thanks

There are number of reasons for Windows VPS hosting to be expensive than Linux VPS hosting, the most basic reasons are:

* A Windows node require the OS license where as Linux does not require any.
* Number of VPS per node on Windows are far less than that on Linux.

There are many more small reasons that adds to the difference.

Perhaps you can consider Windows Semi Dedicated server if you need more space and bandwidth than what is available on Windows VPS plans. Semi Dedicated Server is also a virtual environment with more resources as only 6 accounts are hosted on one physical server.
