Need VPS server with remote desktop
Hello, im in need of a Windows or Linux VPS server that will let me use remote desktop, and if using linux, install wine.
my budget is very low but critics aside i know it can be done
Any ideas on some cheap (under $10) places i can either get a cheap windows vps or a linux vps with remote desktop installed.
Location: anywhere
specs: minimum
bandwidth: maybe 30gb a month, speed not important
i dont care if its on a slow oversold server, so long as its accessable.

Finding a windows vps for under $10.00/month will be touch especially with the licensing cost. Your best bet like you mentioned earlier will be a linux vps. Did you have any requirements for diskspace?

You should be able to find a linux VPS for your budget. Which application do you plan do install after that? Is it supported by WINE?

Only choice is Linux VPS. You can run a remote desktop having 700mb ram. Then if you want to run exe files, there's always wine.

With budget < $10, i'd suggest you to opt for openvz vps and install freenx. That work pretty good and smooth, just like RDP.
Honestly, for windows, hardly you can get one.█ ControlVM.com :: Elastic Cloud Hosting Alternatives to VPS ● Reliable Cloud Server

Honestly, budget is far too low, even for cheap junk servers.

ThrustVPS has some good affordable Windows options. There's also a good Fedora KDE Desktop floating around, if they don't have it (can't remember without looking) you can use your own image.

For $10 you might be better off just looking for a terminal services account, if people still sell them...
The OS for Windows/Ubuntu (desktop) require too many resources such as RAM, to make $10 a feasible sale price.BotWars.io - Code the AI of your Battle Bot!

...except for the provider I mentioned that has 0.5G or 1G for 7.95 / 14.95, respectively, on Xen HVM w/ Windows Srv 2K8. If it sucks, you're out a 10 spot avg.
Alternately, I've ran many, many less-then-10-buck VPSs with *nix +X+VNC, 1G will probably do fine running some wine. Just don't get too crazy. Lowendbox.com has a good list of budget providers and feedback.This is the best signature in the world....Tribute!

To get a VPS at that price keep an eye on the VPS offers section and http://lowendbox.com/ Its also a good idea to only pay monthly so if the provider go under you wont lose to much money.

I guess ill keep my eye out. Ive tryed a linux box the provider said it would run with 256mb ram and 512 burst but it wouldnt! and i asked for a refund ($3) and they got arsey, but its only $3 that was dme hosting btw. i use lowendbox alot, because i have lots of projects that could use this sort of thing. i dont know if my apps are supported by wine. I'll find a solution soon, thanks for your reply,s but if you see anything that might suit please let me know!
