Reloading the Windows VPS

Post by ErawanArifNugroho » Wed Sep 05, 2012 8:04 am

I just accidentally doing some random click, and when I click my Service in the Prometeus, my Windows VPS Addons, I saw an option for doing OS reload. And it's costs about $6.5.

Is that true? Just in case some user is doing mess with their Windows VPS and have to reload it frequently, wouldn't it would be more job for provisioning?

How about providing the CD-Rom for reloading the OS from scratch?

The problem with windows is the license / activation, we need to activate them using the spla keys :P

These are production machines which are expected to be stable, not really testing stuff, in spite of the price.
So far, didn't charge for any reload, so, no worries, especially for friends :)

There are free antiviruses, also things like combofix to clean up the mess...
I hate it when people simply reinstall in case of an infection...
Linux is harder to clean up in case it was rooted or something, but it happens rarely.

I was just about to use DeepFreeze on the Windows VPS, but maybe not atm :D.
My own computer is not having any antivirus, because I know what I'm doing, and even if it get infected, I could remove it without antivirus.

If I feel the activity is having some risk, like browsing unknow/new website, I usually open it from Virtual Machine ( Virtual Box/ Microsoft Virtual PC) :p

Usually, all of computer in my office is installed with DeepFreeze by me, because most of the user is only "user", they don't have much knowledge about Windows :p
