Stable VPS Platform

What is probably the most stable VPS platform (VMWare, etc...) for running 4 windows VPS's on?

I am a little out of touch as far as VPS goes but I want something rock solid for some development work.

Any recommendation / feedback welcome

Thanks,
Matt.

If you are using a single server ESXi is free and could do the job. Whats the server spec?

The free VMWare ESXi might do the trick. It's specific about the hardware so check that first.

Basic version of Citrix XenServer is also free, although restricted in memory and VM count. The standard version is pretty cheap though, especially if you get the HP or Dell "integrated" versions.

Citrix XenServer (ex-XenSource) is entirely stable and reliable for this purpose.

Another vote for Xen we use the Enterprise version extensively, although looking at some of the native W2k8 command line tools for deployment now.
