Anyone know of a good place to get a dedicated server running Windows that isn't $100+ per month (2gb, 2 cores)? I am looking to evaluate my options of moving away from a dedicated minecraft host and manage the system myself.
 
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/
 
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.
 
Hmm... OVH is really well priced. However, doesn't look like they have any offerings state side... :/
 
For 40 bucks a month u can get urself a nice dual core 8gb server which runs upto 20-30 ppl easily. If you do choose ovh and need help setting up just send me a pm ill be happy to help to the best of my ability

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
 
I apologize if this has been answered but I cannot find it. 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?
 
What admin console are you referring to? In general on a Linux server, the command line is your admin console!

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.
