Remote Desktop Hosting

Deploy a Windows Server VPS and access it from anywhere via Remote Desktop (RDP). Install your business applications, let your team log in remotely, and protect your data with optional daily backups across 6 global data centers.

Why host your Remote Desktop in the cloud

Your Windows applications, accessible from anywhere via RDP

Connect from any device

Remote Desktop (RDP) works from Windows PCs, Macs, iPads, iPhones, Android phones, Chromebooks, and even Linux desktops. Your entire Windows environment travels with you, accessible from whatever device you have on hand.

Run your business applications

Install Microsoft Office, point of sale systems, MetaTrader for Forex trading, ERP and CRM software, or any other Windows application. Your apps run on enterprise-grade hardware and are always on, 24/7, without leaving your laptop plugged in. QuickBooks Desktop requires a separate remote hosting license from Intuit.

Multi-user simultaneous access

With Windows Server editions, multiple team members can log in to the same server at the same time, each with their own isolated desktop session. Bookkeepers, developers, and sales staff can all work on shared applications without interfering with each other.

Local device redirection

Print from the cloud to your local printer, copy files between your machine and the VPS via clipboard or mapped drives, and redirect audio and microphone input. Remote Desktop makes the cloud feel local.

Choose any Windows Server edition

Pick the Windows Server edition that best fits your needs. Windows Server 2025 or 2022 for the latest features, 2019 for proven stability, or 2012 R2 for legacy application compatibility. All editions are available for instant deployment and include a licensed copy of Windows Server.

Always-on availability

Unlike a local office PC, your cloud VPS runs 24/7 on redundant power and networking. Scheduled tasks, downloads, and long-running processes continue even when you disconnect. Your work is always waiting when you reconnect.

Frequently asked questions

On Windows, search for "Remote Desktop Connection" in the Start menu. On Mac, download the free "Microsoft Remote Desktop" app from the App Store. Enter your server's IP address and credentials, and within seconds the full Windows desktop appears on your screen.

Yes. You can install and run virtually any Windows application on your VPS, including Microsoft Office, trading platforms, point of sale systems, and custom line of business software. Note: running QuickBooks Desktop remotely requires a separate Remote Desktop Services license from Intuit.

Yes. With a Windows Server edition, multiple users can connect simultaneously via Remote Desktop. Each user gets their own isolated session, making it ideal for teams that need shared access to the same applications and data.

For a single user running a few applications, 4 GB of RAM is a good starting point. For multiple concurrent users or heavier applications like web browsers and Office, we recommend 8 GB and four CPUs. You can always scale up later without reinstalling.

Yes. ColossusCloud is a Microsoft SPLA partner, so the Windows Server license is handled for you. If you need Office, SQL Server, or additional RDS licenses for multi-user access, we can add those too.

For multi-user remote desktop, we recommend Windows Server 2022 or 2025 for the latest features and security updates. Windows Server 2019 is also an excellent choice for proven stability. All editions are available for instant deployment from our portal and include a licensed copy of Windows Server.

Our entire accounting team works from home and connects to a Windows VPS through Remote Desktop every day. The connection is fast and reliable, even with five people on at the same time running QuickBooks and Office. When we needed help setting up additional RDP licenses, the support team walked us through the whole process. It just works.
