We're starting with testing on one host. We'll add more before we sell the product. (We're moving forward into two products at once: one is a true cloud, though designed for hosting, so it uses a different model than Amazon. We're also moving into low end VPS systems similar to those lots of other hosting companies sell: http://www.joesdatacenter.com/Virtual_Servers.html Joe is using SolusVM; our consultant is telling us of lots of problems with SolusVM, and recommending we go with the Citrix windows product. I have a good deal of faith in our consultant. > If you are going to have multiple Xen hosts constant management is > needed for load balancing or in case of host failure.

Sounds good to me, but I have to start somewhere; I still need to install the first Xen host. That's why I thought (perhaps _thought_ is the operative word) I should move forward with local Windows. Afterwards, yes, putting it on a guest VM and a local backup makes a lot of sense and now I understand your previous post. Back to my drawing board and to my consultant. Thanks.
