Dedicated Windows Hosting?

I have never found a dedicated server for less the $100
I have see some virtual servers in that price range but they only run linux

Any reason it has to be Windows? You're just limiting yourself by being picky. Unlike the person above me, I have seen them this cheap before. I currently host an 8 core, 8 GB RAM, 100mbit unmetered dedicated for $40/month. However, that was on a Christmas steal. I would just keep frequenting the internet and looking for good deals. Typically OVH has decent prices: http://www.ovh.co.uk/
I took a look at ovh and there KS r-8g looks like a good buy

It dosnt explicitly say if windows is available but I would not be surprised if it was

OHV/Kimsufi dedicated boxes can run windows no problem as they are physical hardware. You either have to get a licence through them, or add your own key in their manager before you install. I've done it with my own key after a couple of attempts to get one that worked with the images they have available.
To be honest though you are better off with a linux VM, i run my server on one in the UK and it costs me £8 a month for 2gb ram with an extra 512mb burst, 50gb disk and 1.25Tb of transfer. Plenty of offer's to be had out there.

OVH FTW i use the 32gb ssd badboy thry have its amazing and well priced. However given the amount of ram you intend to use using a linux distro is much better since linux uses less ram than windows however i believe thr cpu usage is just slightly higher.
I appreciate that. I am a sysadmin IRL so I think I got most of it handled. Does OVH configure all the routing and assign a public address for me to use?
Oh nice so u definitely know what ur doing 
(im still a noob) . Umm i believe iy does as soon as i got my first server i just setup the server and i could connect fine. I believe all the ports are forwarded also you have access to a amanger which controls the server box you bought so if you need to configure anything just do it from there. But yah right out of the box i just setup my server changed the ip address linr in server properties to thr the ip of the server and i can connect directly to the ip without ports so i guess if thats you meant about ips thrn the answer is yes

First time question.
I set up a linux ubuntu server on Amazon's AWS. The server is working fine, I think. I access it using the command line.
How do I get the admin console to come up or otherwise give admin commands?

Thank you. Late yesterday I was logging off and noticed the messages in the console. Have not used Linux much yet. I appreciate your help.
