Hi Shamil

I believe the pricing from AWA and MS reflects the expected TCO for domestic alternatives suitable for enterprises. It is not cheap to run a setup of servers with fail-over and automated backup and redundant 1 Gb/sec lines.

 Hi Gustav --

I'm also surprised for such a high margin between AWS/Microsoft and ovh.ie hosting costs for comparable VPS hosting configurations.
Are ovh.ie currently dumping or capitalistic economy laws don't work for them?
Or they use MS Windows Server 2008 Standard and so they don't need to pay very high royalty for MS?

You evaluate AWS/MS costs for the sample configuration running 24x7x365 would be about €150 / month.
This looks very high for me for a "piece of hardware and MS Windows license" renting.

Would €150 - €14.99 = €135.01 be the costs for MS Windows 2012 license renting?

Who are " capitalistic sharks" here AWS, MS or both? :)

Thank you.
