RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol)

Short definition

Microsoft's protocol for remote graphical access to Windows desktops — the Windows equivalent of SSH.

RDP is Microsoft's protocol for remote graphical access to Windows machines. Unlike SSH (which is a text shell), RDP transmits the entire desktop environment: windows, mouse, keyboard, audio. It runs natively on Windows clients and via 3rd-party clients on macOS / Linux. Authentication uses Windows credentials; production deployments add Network Level Authentication (NLA) and rate-limiting.

For offshore hosting customers, RDP-based VPS plans are the way to run Windows-only workloads: trading bots, scrapers using Windows-only tooling, multi-account social media management, remote-desktop infrastructure. RDP plans are typically more expensive than Linux equivalents because of Windows licensing costs. SilentHosts offers RDP-Basic / RDP-Pro / RDP-Power.
