Hi everyone,

If I order a Windows 2008 VPS, may I login to it remotely and use it as a remote desktop (keyboard and mouse)? If so... how?

Thanks!

Greetings,

Most hosts will not make security exceptions as there is normally a reason they put it in place to start with. You could also look into a Linux Remote Desktop as the cost is often less unless you specifically require Windows however this can take more work to set up...

I would suggest windows 2003 instead as the OS has less overhead and preforms slightly better then 2008 on a virtual environment.
