Dan,

We would like to offer you 30 days free trial. So you can test DNN in the real Hyper-V servers. Please use coupon code "Free_Trial" and choose "Check/Invoice" when you check out. Put your DNN forum username in the comment box. So we can approve your account immediately.

 

I don't see Hyper-V hosting on your website, it is listed somewhere else?

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't realize you were the parent company of the other site...

 Hi Dan,

As a hosting provider that offers Windows 2008, here's some advice:

Windows 2008 runs like poo on physical hardware with only 1GB of ram.  Because of the resources that Windows 2008 requires, we won't even let customers run it on a server that has any less than 2GB of ram (and we recommend 4GB).

If you're going to try to do anything decent in a VPS...  good luck!

My recommendation is to spend a few dollars and get a physical dedicated server or just do shared hosting.  You'll have a much better performance with both compared to a virtual.

I was thinking about this a bit more tonight, and I was wondering how well DNN works in Windows 2003 in a Hyper-V situation?

Okay, you guys sold me...  I've been using it long enough now to know that it is light-years faster than my other hosting service, and I've already moved some of my sites over there.  Performance on your system so far has been top-notch, and except for the unexplained two-hour outage last weekend, has been performing far better than I ever expected, darn near as good as my dedicated server at work.  Words cannot describe how much better it is to be running DNN in this environment compared to what I've been trying to do for years on that shared hosting site...  I can finally start working on the website again instead of spending all my time trying to tweak performance gains to make it usable!

As for server specs, it looks like I'm running at about 11GB of disk space in use (with backup and test installs), and averaging between 600 and 900MB of memory in use at all times.  So, I would not recommend anyone using anything less than the 25GB hard drive and 1GB memory model that I am currently using. I could probably trim down the disk space usage to fit in a 10GB limit, but then I would constantly be cleaning up files to make sure I don't run out of space during the night.

Actually, I'm running several production 2008 servers in Hyper-V with only 512MB of memory right now on only one server until I get my second server up and running so I can distribute the load more, and they are performing far better than I had anticipated.
