a while back i had good experience with windows vps.i could remote login, and run things and just relax.
i am looking for ubuntu desktop vps, or any linux desktop vps, that has gui. i think this will be cheaper because there is no license fee to pay unlike windows.
i am looking to purchase around 20 of these small vps, for a project, so i would like the price per vps to be as low as possible.
I know we can get remote Desktop connection only on those servers based on Windows 2003 OS or Windows 2008 OS.
But what about Linux? Can I have such remote desktop connection on CentOS 5?
Another question is, what is nxclient?

I have write up a simple shell script from my windows desktop.
After i upload the file via ftp and run it as root, it doesn't run properly.
any file i copy over will end up in "

why is this happening?
Should i write all my code on the server instead?
I did not really want to call this a full review, but rather a first impressions/sign up review.
I am the kinda guy that usually gets greedy, I want something but then I do not want to pay too much for it. It usually comes back to bite me, but my greed still gets me every time. That and I want to see the little guys succeed.
Anyways, so here is the story.
I had a free hosting account I was hosting a my website on, and well lets just say, it was very slow. I did not really want to have it hosted on a free host, but at the time money was not really there. I have another site hosted at a free host, 5GbHost, which they are great for free, but they do not offer enough space for what I need. So when I decided to get paid hosting, I was trying to find a decent priced shared host, and I decided to get a paid account at 5GB Host. Well after a few days, they had a outage, and I got mad, that and I never really did like the way the support.
(First time I needed it there was no link anywhere on the site, looked at the contact us page several times, and did not see it, but they said right there on the contact us page, for registered users to use the helpdesk. Well I contacted them through there email system, and also asked were the link was, besides my support issue. They replied back with the support answer, but no answer on the helpdesk. I went back to the contact us page, and there was now a link to the help desk. I emailed back and asked if the link was there a few minutes ago, because I swore it was not, but they never replied, no biggie because it was really to keep myself from thinking I must be nuts.
Anyways moving on, I submitted a helpdesk ticket saying that the server is down, and I was wondering what was going on, but I never recieved an answer. The server came back online about 10 minutes later for just a few minutes, then died again. So I said forget this, I am going to get a VPS.
I had a little over $15 in paypal, and did not know if I would even be able to get a vps for that price. I looked into the offers here on WHT, and I found IndiaKaHost.com
I signed up(well all they ask for is a hostname and a os type), payed with paypal, expecting to be taken to a regular order form, but instead got a message saying that I would be contacted shortly with how to proceed.
So I am waiting for an email and never get one, then I submit a ticket telling them I never received an email on how to proceed. It was bed time so I went to bed, with my website still down.
The next day before I went to work I checked my email, and after did not get a response from them. Well thats what I thought. I submitted another ticket telling them I wanted my account setup or at least for them to contact me.
Well, anyways later in the day, not much I get an email from somebody that works at IndiaKaHost. They are telling me they setup the server over 12 hours ago, and the email may have went to the junk folder, so they logged into there email account and resent it.
I check my junk mail folder, and yep there it is, it was setup about 3 hours after I signed up.
So sign up was actually fast, the server has been very fast, the lxadmin is nice, confusing at time, but nice. And the server has not experienced any downtime as far as I know.
I think I will like it here, but I have said that many times. Maybe my greed has finally found me a good affordable host. I do not know, but I know that so far they have been very helpful, fast responding, and nice to this VPS newb.
I do not have much time in at IndiaKaHost, but I figured since they have been so helpful, I would try to at least get the name out there, with a semi review. I will try to submit a full review on them in about a month or two. In the mean time I need to find a website monitor(free of course )
to install a server for data sharing. My user want a Windows server with remote desktop to write, edit and share document.
The server will host 5 users. one admin and 4 users. each user will have there own account and folder. The user will update word files and save it directly on the server. The admin will have access to each directory (like a fileserver).
I want your recommandation for the share, the OS and the upgradability
I am having a VPS and tried to use RDC from home and it i working. But from my office I couldn't since it looks like RDC is blocked when connecting to out of LAN.
I have tried with the support to change the ports couple of times but still didn't work.
I tried: GoToMyPC, IRemotePC etc. But I believe these 3rd part software doesn’t work in Windows 2003 Server.
how to overcome RDC problem or web service or web service that can work on Windows 2003 Server for RDC?

We have the Windows version of Plesk 11.5 installed. I've removed the "Management of access to the server over Remote Desktop" but two of my sites (there's only 4 so far) still have the remote desktop button available if you log into the user account and switch to those two domains. Switching to the other two doesn't display the icon. I'm not sure if there's another place where it gets turned on/off as I've tested creating a new subscription with the "Management of access to the server over Remote Desktop" ticked and it's not giving me the desktop icon there.

For my GUI software development i need a virtual server solution. It must run WinXP, WinVista, LinuxI386, LinuxAMD64, FreeBSDI386, FreeBSDAMD64 and Solaris.
I'm currently running VMWare with all this systems. But their KVM tools are very instable - especially when waking up from hibernate etc. They eat the key/mouse focus and the only way to get any reaction is often a hard shutdown.
How good are the other Virtualization Kits? I heared that FreeBSD does not work on VirtualBox? I'm especially interested in Xen but i'm not sure if this is good for Desktop use. Seems that it is promoted almost exclusively as a server solution.

I signed up for a windows VPS.
The directions I recieved were "Please use remote desktop to connect to your server."
So I entered the ip address into the remote desktop connection window and it doesn't connect. Where do I go from here? I searched and can't find any relevant info.
I signed up for a Win2k3 VPS account with 3dgwebhosting. I'm a newbie to Plesk and win2k3 so I spent the first day getting head around Plesk.
I then logged into Remote Desktop only to find someone else had beat me. They'd hacked in and downloaded a mass email client, email stripper and obviously sent out spam from a 2mb text file of email addresses.
I didn't spend long in Remote Desktop, but while there I switched on Windows Firewall, changed my admin login password and logged off.
Now, 24 hours later, I can't get back in. I get the error - This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try again.....
I can still login through Plesk, FTP and ExpressionWeb.
Is FW keeping me out of RD or has the hacker returned?
I am setting up xampp on my desktop and when at home, I can develop on either the desktop or my laptop using xttp://localhost/ or xttp://desktop/. When I suddenly need to travel, what's the best/easiest/fastest way to make sure I have the files I need to work with on my laptop?
Is it to install xampp on my laptop, and then copy the files I need from /xampp/htdocs over from the desktop? How would I copy the MySQL databases over as well?
I was also looking into Microsoft's SyncToy 2.0. When combined with scheduled tasks I can do automatic sychronizations once per day. Multiple times per day would be ideal... but I could set up pairings and do manual copying everytime I need to run out.
Are there better ways? I could install the 'master' server on my laptop, but I would prefer to keep it on my desktop (more space, more power, etc.)
I recently got a Windows VPS to run a few applications 24/7. I generally login to the VPS during the day, via Remote Desktop, to review these applications..
However, I frequently have issues. Sometimes, I forget to log out and I will be terminated with a "the remote computer terminated the connection" and then I won't be able to re-login to the VPS. Sometimes I click the X on the Remote Desktop and then when I try to re-connect, I get the same error. Once I got the error "the remote connection has timed out. please try re-connecting to the remote computer again "
And the worse part is that the Remote Desktop can't be restarted alone.. my host has to restart my Windows every time - so my applications go down.
Is it me or is the VPS not supposed to act like this? Why is Remote Desktop so touchy?
I was told by the host that I should always use the Log Off.. however, if I do then Windows says that it will close all my applications.. I don't get any option to Log Off without closing the apps.. so I have to end up using the X.
