Remote Desktop Access

Ever heard of Remote Desktops? Commonly reffered to as RDA or RDP or simply RD, Remote Desktops are very popular these days. As the words read, remote desktop is nothing but a computer located at some place other than your home and you can access the system from your personal computer or laptop. Remote means a location away from the system's location. You can do almost everything on a remote desktop that you can do on your home computer like play music, videos, pictures, work on softwares, surf internet, play games and what not. Although most of the RD providers dont provide you with administrative rights, but there are some nice guys who allow you to use administrative rights and install your programs and perform other administrative activities. Most RDs are servers with latest technology configuration. RD sellers provide customers with various options when it comes to bandwidth, hard disk capacity, and again configuration of the server. Most of the time sellers sell 1 server to not more than 10-15 users. Although that number may go up or down depending on the configuration of the server.


After you make payment for a RD, you recieve an IP Address, UserName and Password for your New RD Account. The IP address is the address of your new remote desktop and username and password refers to the user created on the RD.

Connecting to a RD:

For Windows:
Start >> Run or press Windows + R
Type "mstsc.exe" (without quotes) and press Enter

The Remote desktop connection windows opens and asks you to Enter the IP Address of the Server you want to connect to.


After enetring the IP, Press Press 'Options'. On pressing options a lot of options are given to you. Enter the UserName as provided by the seller. Explore other tabs and features for different experience. The look and performance of the RD can be decided using various options available. The settings that best suits your needs and internet connection should be made and finally press 'Connect'.

 

After pressing 'Connect'


Windows connects to the server and prompts you for password. Enter the password provided to you by the seller. After entering the password press 'OK'.

The windows on RD confirms the account information and connects you to your Remote Desktop.
You can now perform any kind of activity you want on your RD like you do it on your home computer.

Have fun with your new RD, explore the potential of Internet and Internet Marketting.
