Access your Windows VPS from anywhere

Servers and server management have evolved, and remote access has become crucial. If Windows is your preferred OS, you need an RDP VPS. Remote Desktop Protocol is Microsoft’s solution for allowing users to access the desktop of an internet-hosted server from anywhere.

When you order a Windows VPS from Liquid Web, we make sure your Windows OS installed and the server is set up for Remote Desktop connections.

“VPS speed is amazing—much better than the big names like GoDaddy and HostGator, which I tried for years and years—and the customer service is beyond anything I’ve ever had.”
