Connect to your server with Remote Desktop in two clicks | Server Hosting

Remote Desktop lets you use your server as if you were sitting in front of it. The panel makes connecting as quick as possible.

Connect

Open your server in the panel.
Click Remote Desktop at the top, next to More.
A .rdp file downloads, and your server password is copied for you.
Open the downloaded file. When Windows asks for the password, press Ctrl+V to paste it.

The Remote Desktop button sits at the top of your server's page.

You're in. The username is Administrator.

ℹ️

Note: If you changed the password on the server itself, use your new one. The panel only knows the password it set.

On a Mac

Install Microsoft's free Windows App from the App Store, then open the downloaded .rdp file with it.

What about the screen console (VNC)?

The panel also has a screen console. It shows the server's screen directly in your browser, but it's slow and has no copy and paste or file transfer. It's for emergencies only, like Windows not starting or Remote Desktop being switched off.

For everyday use, always connect with Remote Desktop.

Can't connect?

Open Fix my server. It checks Remote Desktop from our network and inside Windows, and can switch it back on for you. See Can't connect to your server? Use Fix my server.
