Stable VPS Platform

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

I am a little bit out of touch so far so VPS goes but I am looking for some proper solution for development work.

Any recommendation / feedback welcome.

Thanks

Vmware and Virtuozzo are supposed to be the most stable and preferred VPS platforms. The most recent entry of HyperV too is good,but it involves some complications I suppose.

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

First of all you'll need to decide the resources you wish to allocate to the VPS accounts.Accordingly you must decide the Dedicated Server.Before deciding the resources for the VPS's,bear in mind that you need to keep some resources free inorder to cope with the spikes.It would be better to get in touch with the host for better assistance.

As suggested by Walter,you can use VMware ESXi as this is free.This can save hardware, power, cooling and administration costs for you.One can also run multiple operating systems on a single server with ESXi.

VMware is one of the mostly used Software for virtualization, Virtuozzo and HyperV are the software that can also be used.
