On this page, choose Desktop. We will discuss Desktop environments for this guide. Although, you can also get a VPN with us, where we support fully managed Wireguard and OpenVPN servers.

Once you choose Desktop, a small menu will pop up where you can select your configuration.

Step 3 – Choose your configuration.

Although, if you choose a bigger machine or a different country like the USA, the price will increase. You are only paying per hour here and it’s not some subscription where you have to unsubscribe to stop using it. It’s much easier; you can create as many or as few machines as you want and choose the hours you need.

You can also choose to pay with your favorite crypto.

Step 4 – Pay

After finishing your payment, you will be redirected back to webpc to a page like this:

Now, please wait until the machine is set up and ready for you to use; the page will update automatically until it’s ready.

Also, since we don’t have a registration, make sure you copy that key in the middle or bookmark the page in your browser.

Step 5 – Connect

Once your machine is set up and ready, your screen will look like this:

To connect, copy your password and click connect.

A small prompt will ask you for that password, and once you enter it, you are on your secure virtual desktop straight from your browser. Where you also have full root access.

Done!

  1. Alex, thanks for sharing Webpc with our community, for the generous 15% discount and some free hours for Patrons. Webpc is fantastic and it will be great watching how it continues to evolve!

  2. Thank you for the share :+1:
    Will look into it

  3. Thanks for sharing, do they give you a choice of Distros? The one shown in the Demo is kinda Windows-ish.

  4. Hey, currently we only offer Ubuntu 20.04 with xfce4 Gnome environment.

    If you have any preferences or suggestions I would love to listen. If you guys want other distros or desktop environments it will not take long to implement.

    I know choices are a bit opinionated right now…

  5. This looks really cool. Im actually more interested with the VPN service. Bookmarked! :ok_hand:
