Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Get an Infrawire Windows VPS

If you don't have a server yet:

1. Head over to infrawire.net.
2. Navigate to the VPS/VDS section in the menu and click on Windows.
3. Scroll down to choose your preferred plan. All Infrawire Windows plans come with 100% full Administrator access.

Step 2: Open Remote Desktop Connection

You do not need to install any third-party software on Windows, as the tool is built right into your operating system.

1. Click on your Windows Start Menu or search bar.
2. Type Remote Desktop Connection (or mstsc) and open the application.

Step 3: Enter Your Server IP Address

1. In the Remote Desktop Connection window, locate the Computer field.
2. Copy your VPS IP Address from your Infrawire dashboard or email and paste it here.
3. Click Connect.

Step 4: Enter Your Credentials

A prompt will appear asking for your login information:

1. Username: Depending on your specific server setup, your username will be either Admin, admin, or Administrator. Please verify your delivery email to see exactly which one was assigned to your instance.
2. Password: Copy and paste the password provided in your dashboard or email.
3. Click OK.

Step 5: Accept the Security Warning

The first time you connect, a security certificate warning might pop up. This is completely normal for new remote connections.

1. Click Yes to confirm and proceed with the connection.

🔒 Security Best Practice: To keep your server completely secure, we highly recommend changing your default Windows password immediately after your first successful login.
