Really Unusual request
I'm looking for a company that will allow me to rent a desktop computer.. not a server so i can remotely run a game off of it. You see i'm planning to setup a twitch feed using the desktop so people can see the mmorpg my guild currently plays. Its probably a very long shot but i'm hoping someone knows of a host somewhere that does.

Shouldn't be hard as long as the host setups a Desktop version of the Linux Distro with VNC. You need Linux or Windows?

Yeah, find a windows shared host that offers rdp access. Try searching for the terms Daas (Desktop as a service).

You can buy a server from anywhere and use it for anything you want. A server is really just a computer anyway, so if you want to use it as your own personal remote desktop that's would be fine.

Sure, perhaps it will be more flexible, depending your requirements.
