A guided deployment, not a blank server
Tell us who needs access, where they work and which applications matter. We prepare Windows Server, Remote Desktop Services, individual accounts, network controls and the backup policy before handover.
Running a database-backed application? We can scope Microsoft SQL Server after reviewing its edition, workload and licensing needs.
Choose a starting point for your users and applications; we will confirm the fit before deployment. Every tier combines managed onboarding with Windows Server Standard, included RDS User CALs, daily backups and a dedicated public IPv4 address.
Simple GBP billing: All plans are billed monthly in GBP. Any applicable tax is calculated from your billing address and shown before you place the order.
Responsive compute, resilient storage and carefully controlled access for teams that rely on shared desktop software.
Fast NVMe storage helps shared files, desktop applications and routine database tasks remain responsive while colleagues work concurrently.
The virtual server runs on clustered infrastructure, reducing dependence on one physical host and supporting controlled maintenance and recovery.
Intel Xeon Gold processing and ECC memory provide stable resources for concurrent Remote Desktop sessions, shared software and routine database workloads.
Firewall rules and VPN connectivity can restrict server access to approved users, offices and devices. Each employee receives an individual account.
Active Directory users and groups make it easier to control who can sign in and which applications, folders and administrative tools each person can use.
Our team supports the VPS platform, Remote Desktop access, network configuration and resource changes. Application-specific support is assessed separately.
You receive a working Windows environment shaped around real users, access locations and business software—not simply administrator credentials.
We install and configure Windows Server, enable Remote Desktop Services and prepare the server for the users and locations defined during onboarding.
Windows Server Standard and the stated number of RDS User CALs are included in each plan. Microsoft SQL Server can be added when your application requires it.
Automated backups run daily and are retained for 14 days. Restore requests are handled through technical support when a file, application or system recovery is required.
We configure the initial firewall and VPN settings for the agreed access model, helping your employees and administrators connect through approved routes.
We prepare Windows roles and services for compatible accounting, ERP, CRM and database software. Third-party licences and installation media remain the customer’s responsibility unless agreed otherwise.
CPU, memory and storage can be reviewed as your user count and workload change. We will recommend a larger plan when the existing allocation is no longer appropriate.
Before handover, we turn the underlying VPS into a practical business environment. Windows Server, Remote Desktop Services, identity, network access and backups are configured around the agreed deployment plan.
Your application must be compatible with the selected Windows Server version. If it requires Microsoft SQL Server, we can include the appropriate edition and licensing model after reviewing the workload. Compatibility and licensing responsibilities for other third-party software are confirmed during onboarding.
Choose Windows Server 2019, 2022 or 2025 Standard, subject to application compatibility. The operating system licence is included in the monthly plan.
X1 includes 1 RDS User CAL, X2 includes 5, and X3 and X4 each include 10. Add up to 50 more users during checkout for 79 GBP per user per month.
Individual accounts and security groups define who can sign in and which shared folders, applications and administrative functions they can access.
When your software depends on SQL Server, we review the application, database workload and user requirements, then include the appropriate edition and licensing model in the deployment.
We complete the initial server configuration required for user access, network connectivity, backups and compatible business applications.
The exact scope and delivery schedule are confirmed after we review your users, locations, software and any existing IT environment.
We create the agreed user accounts and groups, then assign permissions for Remote Desktop, applications and shared folders.
We configure the initial network rules and VPN connections required for approved users, offices and administrator access.
Daily backups with 14-day retention are enabled as part of the service. Recovery requests are submitted to technical support.
We enable the Windows roles and services required by compatible software. Application installation is agreed during onboarding.
Start with the number of employees who will be connected at the same time. Then consider the software vendor’s CPU, memory, storage and database requirements, together with expected data growth.
If you are unsure which plan fits, contact us before ordering. We can review the workload and confirm whether a standard RDS plan is suitable.
