Hi

Apologies if this question is in the wrong place, but this seemed to be the best bet.

I am considering renting a hosted virtual server, however, would I be able to connect to that virtual server via remote desktop etc, and see the windows desktop as if it were a normal system? Or is that not how virtual servers work?

Thanks

Phil

You should not notice any difference between connecting to a Virtual server compared to connecting to a physical server.
 
Hi, Thanks for replying. I should have worded my question a bit better. What I meant was, if I pay for a hosted virtual server, can I connect to the virtual server using remote desktop? Or will I have to log into a website and control the server via some kind of management console?

Thanks

You can do either as a rule, but yes, if you run windows you'll still be able to remote desktop to it.
