Use Windows Server 2012 R2 because 2008 have a killing exploit ^^
Sql 2014 is best SQL Server ;D

[khemomo]

is there will be a problem if I will going to use the 2012r2 instead of 2008r2?
I am currently using 2008r2 SQL server for my server.

NOTE: 2012r2 server is the VPS server Operating system.
Thanks guys

Haha Ace is now a Security expert xD
As long as you keep your software ul to date you will be safe.
Highest security risk is your configuration. Do not open the sqlserver to the public and create accounts with the needed rights(dont use sa or winauth)
Same thing for the OS. Only install trusted software. Use a random Admin password, dont trust anyone.

Wenn Microsoft Qualitätsware herausbringt, dann ist es SQL Server.

Bei einem Kollegen von mir läuft SQL Server 2016 schon produktiv und die Sau rennt ohne Probleme.
Wenn man dann noch In-Memory effektiv nutzt, braucht man sich diesbezüglich keine Sorgen mehr zu machen.


@
You can go safe with 2008 R2.
But to be safe, you'd better go with 2012.


DataCenter is the "best" version that you can get with WinSrv.
It has a memory limit of 4TB und unlimited virtualization capabilities.


If you want a stable environment, better take two VPS servers.
One for your SQL Server, one for your applications.
