How do you purchase Windows Server Licenses?

Q. I wish to purchase a VPS server and I wish to use Windows Server on it. I will probably buy 3-4 VPS for different projects. The servers will be with no OS. How do I obtain a license for the windows server and how much is it?

Thank you!

A. on a vps why would you want to buy windows ?

windows server is only valid for that one virtual machine and as you can see by the price here

is it really worth it ?

i suggest you use an enterprise linux or server linux,
centos and fedora are both free

What Linux distro should I use to set up a home server?
Q. Does anyone have any knowledge on a distribution to use to set up a home server where multiple user accounts are stored and files are stored?

A. I use Fedora 8 64 bit edition. 347 days of up time so far. Can't say that for any Mac or Windows system. I like Kubuntu for a desktop more. Mostly because of the eye candy.

Which operating system is best for server and security centos or redhat or any other os available?
Q. We need a highly secured operating system.So which one is best redhat or fedora or centos?
And also which is bug free?

A. Probably RedHat (who also provided most of the money for the development of Fedora). Security is down to the system admins - if they aren't very good then neither will be your security. Bugs happen, nothing much you can do about them except know how to either fix them or get around them.
