FAQ: 1) How do I sign-up?

For New Customers: Please go to: select a [ ] "PRMWD Cloud Servers" Account.

2) Why is Windows more expensive than Linux?

Microsoft charges PRMWD.INC a license fee for each Windows instance.

3) How do Cloud Servers for Linux and Cloud Servers for Windows differ?

First, the PRMWD Servers for Windows product is a beta and as can be seen from the chart above is not a full featured product yet.

4) Can I run production workloads on PRMWD Servers Windows during the beta period?

Because this is a beta offering, we do not recommend running production workloads or applications.

6) What type of support is available to me from PRMWD and Microsoft during the beta?

Our prmwd cloud support is available 24x7 via chat, phone and of course is performed in our Fanatical way. It does not include OS level or managed level support. Further, PRMWD Servers for Windows is fully supported and endorsed by Microsoft. And since The PRMWD Server will be one of only a handful of clouds that runs on a hypervisor approved by the Microsoft Server Virtualization Validation Program, we've got direct access to Microsoft engineers and customers may contact Microsoft through their usual support channels for Windows-related inquiries.

7) Once the beta concludes, can I keep my instances running and enjoy the full sla? What will the final sla look like?

At this point we expect that you will be able to keep your instances running; however, because it is a beta we cannot guarantee it. Should substantial changes occur in the transition to the production release, we will provide ample notification prior to that happening. A full SLA will be available with the production release and will likely look highly similar to the existing PRMWD Servers for Linux offering.

8) Will new features such as backup be made automatically available to me or will I have to create new instances?

We will make every effort to make the transition as seamless as possible and will provide ample notification prior to releasing to production.

9) Will I be charged for bandwidth?

Like our Linux PRMWD Server offering each PRMWD Server for Windows will have two IP addresses, one public and one private. Bandwidth between PRMWD Servers over the private network is free of charge however bandwidth over the public network is billed at our standard bandwidth rates.

Our bandwidth rates are $0.42/GB Out and $.16/GB In.

10) Does SQL Server come installed?

PRMWD Servers for Windows includes a fully licensed installation of Windows. Currently The PRMWD does not provide installation or licensing for any software above the base OS install. Customers are welcome to install and run any software or application to which they hold a valid license.

11) What does beta mean?

PRMWD Servers for Windows is operating with a beta label because we are currently not offering an SLA around the product. Once we have completed development and testing on the remaining features required to reach parity with our existing Cloud Servers Linux offering we will remove the beta label and begin offering our standard SLA.

12) Can I run my production site on this?

You are welcome to run what you like on the server, as you would with any windows server. Keep in mind we do have some restrictions on what we allow which can be found here.

13) Can it scale? (resize)

During the beta period there are several features that are not complete and the ability to resize a Cloud Server for Windows is one of those features. We will do our best to ensure that existing PRMWD Servers for Windows will be able to utilize this feature once it is tested and launched.

14) Can I load my own version of windows (xp, vista, windows 7)

You have several windows distributions to pick from, however you cannot install your own.

15) How do I manage it?

You can manage your PRMWD Servers for Windows via the Remote Desktop Protocol.
