  Tagadab OS Options:

Here you'll find some information about the various Windows operating systems that you can have pre-installed on your dedicated or virtual server.

Windows Server 2003

Both Web Edition and Standard Edition are available in 32-bit. For a feature comparison of the two versions you can check the official Microsoft web site's edition comparison.

At Tagadab we would advise against using Server 2003 now unless you have a specific requirement that warrants its use.

Windows Server 2008

Both Web and Standard Edition are available in 32 and 64-bit. For a feature comparison of the two versions you can check the official Microsoft website's edition comparison.

Windows 2008 features the more user-friendly IIS7 and has numerous security improvements over 2003.

Windows Server 2008 R2

Both Web and Standard Edition are available in 64-bit. For a feature comparison of the two versions you can check the official Microsoft website's edition comparison.

Windows 2008 R2 has numerous functional and stability improvments over 2008, and is our recommended Windows OS.
