Hopefully this is the right forum to ask about these sorts of things.

I'm considering getting some VPS hosting sorted out at the minute, not because I have a meaty web site to run, but more to have a play around and experiment, but would like to know what sort of thing I can expect from people that have experience with these things.

Basically I have an MSDN subscription, which gives me access to pretty much any Microsoft package for dev purposes.
If I get VPS hosting does that effectively mean I have a virtual machine to do with as I wish? i.e. can I install the stuff from my MSDN subscription on there and play about with it?

It would be a business expense through my company, so not overly bothered about spending a few quid a month on it if I effectively get a machine in a proper data centre connected with a fat pipe to work with.
 
Cool, thought that would be the case but figured I'd check.
The software will just be used for learning really, so it should all be fine with the MSDN licence terms, but it will be very handy to have a machine connected to the internet that I can access from wherever.

If anyone has any recommendations for Windows VPS hosting please post them here.
