Windows 2008 Dedicated Servers

XLHost is tremendously pleased to announce availability of Windows Server 2008 on all dedicated servers.

Following in a long tradition of being first in dedicated server hosting XLHost is now first to offer Windows Server 2008 in two different editions: Windows Server 2008 Datacenter and Windows Web Server 2008 in both x86 and x64 architectures.



Windows Server 2008 Datacenter delivers an enterprise-class platform for deploying business-critical applications and large-scale virtualization on small and large servers. Improve availability with clustering and dynamic hardware partitioning capabilities. Reduce infrastructure costs by consolidating applications with unlimited virtualization licensing rights. Scale from 2 to 64 processors. Windows Server 2008 Datacenter provides a foundation on which to build enterprise-class virtualization and scale-up solutions.



Designed to be used specifically as a single-purpose Web server, Windows Web Server 2008 delivers on a rock-solid foundation of Web infrastructure capabilities in the next-generation Windows Server 2008. Integrated with the newly re-architected IIS 7.0, ASP.NET, and the Microsoft .NET Framework, Windows Web Server 2008 enables any organization to rapidly deploy Web pages, Web sites, Web applications, and Web services.

Windows Server 2008 offers many improvements over Windows 2003 Server in security, performance, features, and reliability. Windows Server 2008 Web Server offers a low cost of entry while lifting many of the restrictions of Windows 2003 Web Edition such as the SQL server limitation, RAM limitation (now 4GB instead of 2GB) and much more.
