Is RDP VPS a different product from Windows VPS?

No — it is the same thing described from the other end. You order a Windows Server VPS, and RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is how you connect to it. There is no separate RDP plan, no separate price list and no separate hardware. If you have read the Windows VPS page, you have read the specification for this.

Do you sell cheap shared or admin RDP accounts?

No. Everything here is a private virtual machine that you alone hold the administrator password for. If you are looking for a $2 account on a machine shared with dozens of other people, this is not that, and we would rather tell you now than take the order.

What is the cheapest plan that can run Windows?

Windows Server needs 2 GB of memory or more, so the cheapest suitable plan is Business Classic VPS at $7.95 a month, which also carries a one-time $2.00 setup fee. The 1 GB plan at $4.95 cannot run Windows properly and is not offered for it.

How much memory do I actually need for comfortable RDP?

2 GB runs Windows Server and a light application. If you intend to keep several browser tabs, a trading terminal and a file explorer open at once, 4 GB is a much better experience and the difference in price is small. Memory, not CPU, is what makes a remote desktop feel slow.

Do I get full administrator rights?

Yes. It is your virtual machine, so you hold the Administrator account and can install software, change policy, open ports and configure the firewall. Nothing is restricted at our end — the server is unmanaged, which means the operating system is entirely your side of the line.

Can I buy RDP with Bitcoin?

Yes. Bitcoin (BTC), Monero (XMR), Ethereum (ETH), USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, Litecoin (LTC), Tron (TRX) and BNB Chain (BNB) are accepted on every plan alongside PayPal and card, with no identity verification at any order value, and the server deploys automatically once the payment clears.

How much does an RDP VPS cost?

From $7.95 a month for Business Classic VPS (1 core, 2 GB of RAM, 20 GB SAS, 1 Gbps port), plus a one-time $2.00 setup fee. For comfortable multitasking with 4 GB of memory, the cheapest plan is Professional Classic VPS at $13.95 a month. Plans are billed monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually, with no Windows licence surcharge: the same plan costs the same as it would running Linux.

Can I rent an RDP by the hour?

No. The shortest billing period is one month. If you only need a server for a short job, a first order is covered by the 7-day money-back guarantee, which is the closest thing to a trial.

Is it Windows 10, Windows 11 or Windows 7?

None of those: the plans run Windows Server, Microsoft's server edition, not a consumer desktop edition. Its desktop looks and works much like Windows 10 or 11 and runs most of the same software. If a program specifically requires a consumer edition, ask before ordering.

Is Port 25 open on the RDP VPS?

Yes. Outbound and inbound Port 25 are open on every plan from deployment, with no ticket, so a mail client or mail server on the Windows machine can send directly. Abusive sending can have it closed, as on any plan.

Is this suitable for forex trading?

It is one of the most common uses. A remote desktop that stays online whether or not your own computer is means a trading terminal keeps running, and choosing a datacenter close to your broker reduces round-trip time. Pick the country carefully — that is the setting that matters most for latency.

Which Windows Server version is installed?

The current stable release available on the panel. If you need a specific version for a piece of software, ask before ordering and we will confirm what can be provided.

Is a dedicated IPv4 address included?

Yes, on every plan — a dedicated address rather than a shared one, which matters for RDP because your firewall rules and any allowlisting key on it.

How do I keep the RDP port from being attacked?

Assume it will be scanned within hours of deployment, because it will be. Restrict RDP to your own address in the Windows firewall, use a long unique administrator password, and consider moving the listening port. Leaving 3389 open to the whole internet with a weak password is the single most common way these servers get compromised.

RDP VPS Pricing: Plans That Can Actually Run Windows

Filtered to 2 GB of memory and above, cheapest first. The $4.95 plan is not on this list because 1 GB is not enough for Windows Server, and selling it to you would end in a refund.

How to Connect to Your RDP VPS

When the server deploys you receive its IP address and the Administrator password by email; any Remote Desktop client then opens the Windows desktop. You do not need a Windows computer to use a Windows server — every common device has a client.

Windows: open Remote Desktop Connection (run mstsc), enter the IP address, then log in as Administrator.
macOS, iPhone, iPad and Android: Microsoft’s Windows App (formerly Microsoft Remote Desktop), from the App Store or Google Play.
Linux: Remmina or FreeRDP, both in the standard repositories of most distributions.
First thing after logging in: change the Administrator password and restrict the RDP port to your own IP address in Windows Firewall.

What People Use an RDP VPS For

Trading terminals

A platform that has to stay connected whether or not your own machine is awake. Choose the country closest to your broker — that is what decides latency.

Windows-only software

Accounting packages, legacy line-of-business applications and tools that were never ported. A remote desktop is often cheaper than a second physical computer.

A workstation in another country

A machine with a stable, dedicated address in a specific location, reachable from anywhere you happen to be.

Long-running jobs

Anything that has to keep going for hours without your laptop lid staying open.

Testing and staging

A clean Windows environment you can reinstall from the client area whenever you have broken it badly enough.

Shared team access

You hold Administrator, so you decide who else gets an account and what they can do with it.

RDP is scanned constantly. Before you put anything real on the server, restrict the port to your own address in the Windows firewall and set a long unique Administrator password — the Windows Server Administration guides walk through it.
