What you need
- A Windows server in India. The India RDP plans start at ₹390/mo; 4 GB RAM is comfortable for a desktop with a browser.

Step 1: Order a plan and install Windows
Order a Windows RDP plan in India, log in to the VirtFusion control panel, choose Reinstall, select a Windows Server template and set your Administrator password. The install takes about 15 minutes.
Step 2: Connect from a Windows PC
- Press Windows + R, type mstsc and press Enter to open Remote Desktop Connection.
- Enter the server IPv4 address and click Connect.
- Log in as Administrator with your password. Accept the certificate prompt the first time you connect.
Step 3: Connect from a Mac, iPhone or Android phone

- Add a PC, enter the server IPv4 address and save it.
- Open the connection and log in as Administrator.

Keep your RDP server safe
- Use a long, unique Administrator password and do not share the login.
- Install Windows updates regularly.
- If you connect from fixed IP addresses, allow Remote Desktop (port 3389) only from those IPs in Windows Firewall.
- Keep a copy of important files off the server.
- DDoS protection up to 100 Gbps is already included on every HeavenCloud RDP plan.
Keep apps running when you disconnect
The server runs 24/7. To leave trading platforms such as MetaTrader, office software or browser sessions running, click Disconnect instead of Sign out when you close Remote Desktop.
Using RDP from Delhi, Noida and the rest of India
The RDP servers are in Mumbai, and you connect over Remote Desktop from anywhere in India, including Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon. Ping depends on your ISP and city. For faster cores, install Windows on the Ryzen 9 India VPS instead.
