Parallel Running Windows in Linux Server With Plesk

[breaves]

I am considering Plesk as my control panel on a Linux VPS solution, which I am still researching a provider. Is it possible to use Parallel within a Linux VPS to run Windows? I want to use Linux hosting but also want to run a couple of Windows applications.

Thanks for your help!

Not sure that you may run Windows applications on Linux VPS...
And how it is related to Plesk?

No. You can NOT run Windows programs on a Linux host. You'll need a Windows VPS for that.

Thanks for these replies.

The reason I ask is I know I can use Parallel on OSX to run windows applications and thus was hoping I could use it on a Linux VPS the same way.

Cheers!

Parallels makes several different pieces of software. e.g., Just take a look at the top-level of the Parallels forum!

1. Parallels Plesk Panel is the Webhosting management software.
2. Parallels Desktop allows Mac users to run the Microsoft Windows operating system (and, therefore, Windows applications) on Mac.
3. VMware Workstation allows Linux users to run the Microsoft Windows operating system on the Linux desktop (i.e., KDE or Gnome) and the Microsoft Windows version of the software allows Windows users to run the LInux operating system on the Windows desktop. i.e., VMware Workstation is available for both operating systems.

This forum is devoted to Parallels Plesk Panel. I think that you'll want to look in the Parallels Desktop for Mac forum.
