Windows hosting provider OpenHost has launched MS SQL 2008 for use with Windows VPS and hosting plans.

This allows a user with a VPS (Virtual Private Server) to remotely host a MS SQL database without requiring SQL to be installed on their server, reducing overhead and licensing cost. For customers using shared web hosting, SQL is available to use within their customer control panel.

Windows hosting is essential for web site developers looking to develop in ASP, .NET with Microsoft SQL. OpenHost provides Windows hosting from $6.99 per month.
