Once your order is placed and payment is confirmed, the server deployment process will begin immediately. After it’s complete, you’ll receive an activation email containing all the necessary details to access your server.

We suggest two ways to connect from your Windows computer: using the built-in Remote Desktop Connection app or downloading the free Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the Microsoft Store.

Method 1 – Remote Desktop Connection

Step 1:

Search for the built-in Windows program Remote Desktop Connection and launch it.

Step 1

STEP 2:

In the Computer field, enter the IP address of your new server from the activation email in the format: x.x.x.x:13389, where x is your server’s IP address. Be sure to include the port number after the IP.

STEP 3:

Enter login credentials when prompted.

Step 3

Please note: Be cautious when copying your username or password, as spaces can accidentally be included. Ensure that you carefully select and copy your credentials from the activation email, avoiding any extra spaces.

STEP 4:

Tick the box Don’t ask me again for connections to this computer and press Yes.
