Web hosting provider RackForce has announced the launch of Windows-based virtual private server (VPS) options. The company claims to be the first to offer this technology (based on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2) to the web hosting market.

The latest addition to RackForce’s Dynamic Dedicated Server (DDS) products, the company’s VPS utilizes a Dual Xeon Processor server which creates eight environments that replicate dedicated Windows server functionality. The package also includes Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, a 10Mbps connection, Plesk for Windows (optional) and FortiGate Firewall Intrusion Protection.
