[dba-Tech] If you're looking for an MS Windows VPS cloud solution this one is good. Tested.

Hi Shamil

I don't think you are using the calculator improperly. Those are the current costs, there are no hidden alternatives except, perhaps, if you are a very large corporation.

It's my impression, that AWS is the price leader because of their marketshare and because they lower their prices at once when possible. Comparable Azure prices follow AWS closely and quickly.

I've also found that it quickly adds up, indeed for machines constantly on. The crucial part is how you estimate maintenance of domestic machines. If you have to pay hi-priced techies, the picture can quickly change.

 Hello Mark --

Thank you for your information.
I have scrolled the article you referred to its 'magic quadrant part' and it looks good.
I will read the article in full later.

Do you know from your experience what would it be a monthly cost to have a VPS with 4GB RAM/40GB HDD 2/4 cores, Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 or just desktop Windows 7/8 hosted on AWS running 24x7x365?

Does AWS have affordable MS SQL Server hosting options?

Yes, I have seen their hosting costs calculator but it I have found the figures it calculates are too high for me currently. I could have used this calculator improperly?

Thank you.
