Remote desktop hosting, sometimes called terminal server hosting, is a protocol (remote desktop protocol or RDP) in Windows that allow each user to have its own unique desktop instance to run applications, databases and programs.
Commonly hosted applications include: database applications, MS Access applications, accounting applications, Virtual desktop instances with Office, SQL databases and similar.
You can access a remote desktop server using the remote desktop connection client on PCs, macs, tablets, etc. This makes Remote Desktop Hosting a great option for companies with employees in different locations.
A Windows Server becomes a Remote Desktop Server when the RDS role is installed on the server. Remote desktop terminal servers have been around for many years on top of Microsoft operating systems.
Licensing
Licensing for Remote Desktop Users is per named user on the server (per unique end-user). Some hosting providers can provide you a monthly option for your user licensing. This is a convenient option to reduce upfront costs. You should check with the hosting provider to determine if they can provide the licensing (Windows Server and RDS user licenses) for your setup. Remote Desktop Services (RDS) has multiple components with the RD Session Host component as the primary one for session-based scenarios.
Resources
The most common question is how many users can I have on a RDP server. The answer always is “It Depends”. The amount of server resources needed will vary depending on the user usage, components installed, applications to be used (Access 2024, Access 2021, SQL databases, Office, etc.), whether users are concurrent or not, etc. Your hosting provider should be able to provide general specs/guidelines for you to use.
Many businesses want a hosted RDP server so they can access applications and programs from any location and where multiple users can access the same applications concurrently. Remote Desktop Connection Clients exist for PCs, macs and many tablets.

Questions to ask the hosting provider:
- Will you provide the Remote Desktop user licenses? What is the associated cost per user.
- A remote desktop (terminal server) session uses very little bandwidth so what you care about is quality bandwidth versus quantity. Ask lots of questions about the quality of the hosting provider’s bandwidth. For example, Riptide Hosting (Colorado), www.RiptideHosting.com, uses premium blended bandwidth with a minimum of 8 telecom carriers!
- Is Remote Desktop Hosting provided on a shared server, a virtual server with a dedicated operating system environment or a dedicated server?
- Which OS is offered – Windows Server Standard or Essentials? 2022 or 2019?
- Can you increase the amount of resources when needed (ram, CPU, disk space) and user licenses too?
- Details on datacenter(s) used to host server – 24/7 staffed? SLA for power and internet? physical security to building and cabinet/cage?
- Can hosting provider supply Microsoft software on a monthly basis – i.e. Access Hosting (Access 2024 or Access 2021), SQL database Hosting (SQL Web, SQL Standard, SQL Enterprise), Office 2024 or Office 2021, etc. and what is the price for these licenses. Is there any term commitment or is it monthly?
