The Technology
One Server. Multiple Users. All Working Simultaneously.
A Hosted Remote Desktop Server runs Windows Server with Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Services (RDS) role – allowing multiple users to connect simultaneously to a single powerful server environment, each with their own isolated session.
This is the technology accountancy firms, legal practices, healthcare providers and businesses with specialist software have relied on for decades – now delivered from our UK private cloud rather than a server room you have to maintain yourself.
Shared Server – Multiple Users
All your team members connect to one hosted server. Ideal for 2-50 users sharing the same applications. Cost-effective and simple to manage.
Dedicated Server – Full Control
Your own dedicated server instance with full admin access. Choose your specification, OS version and software configuration. For businesses needing maximum performance or isolation.
Application Hosting
Host a specific application – Sage, IRIS, a bespoke business system – on our servers and publish it to your users. They see just the app, not a full desktop.
UK Sovereign Cloud
Your Data. Your Country. Our Infrastructure.
Unlike services reselling AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, our hosted remote desktop servers run on hardware we own, in data centres we control, located entirely within the United Kingdom.
That distinction matters enormously for compliance-conscious businesses. No data leaves UK jurisdiction. No foreign government can compel disclosure of your data under their laws. No dependency on third-party cloud pricing.

Common Questions
Hosted Remote Desktop Server FAQs
What is a hosted remote desktop server, and how is it different from a hosted desktop? ⌄
A hosted remote desktop server runs Windows Server with Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Services role, letting multiple users connect simultaneously to one server environment. A hosted desktop is a dedicated Windows 10 or 11 desktop per user. Servers suit teams running the same line-of-business software; hosted desktops suit teams needing an individual Windows environment each.
How many users can share one hosted server? ⌄
A single server comfortably supports 2-50 users for most office workloads. The exact figure depends on the applications in use and user activity. Where more users or heavier workloads are involved, we design a multi-server environment or move to dedicated servers per user group.
Can you host Sage, IRIS, CCH or our bespoke line-of-business software? ⌄
Yes. Accountancy platforms like Sage, IRIS and CCH, legal case management systems, patient data applications and bespoke Windows software all run well on hosted remote desktop servers. We install and configure them for multi-user access and manage licensing with you.
Where is our data stored, and is it GDPR compliant? ⌄
All data stays in UK-based ISO 27001 certified data centres on our privately owned cloud. Nothing crosses UK borders, which keeps you clear of Schrems II concerns and makes GDPR compliance straightforward. The infrastructure is also Cyber Essentials Plus accredited.
How are the servers secured against unauthorised access? ⌄
Every user login is protected by multi-factor authentication and encrypted (SSL) connections. We apply security baselines to the server OS, keep patches up to date, run managed antivirus and monitor the environment 24/7. No unencrypted RDP is ever exposed to the internet.
What happens to backups, and how fast can you recover a server? ⌄
Daily automated backups are included with 30-day retention. Point-in-time restores are available on request. In a disaster recovery scenario the server environment can be rebuilt in our cloud within hours, with Standby Image recovery available where businesses need near-instant failover.
