united hoster Desktop as a Service review
A cloud Windows terminal server with browser access, backups and self-service controls.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
united hoster Desktop as a Service provides centrally hosted Windows desktops and applications over the internet. It is aimed at organizations that want employees to access a shared Windows terminal server from an office, home or other location, rather than manage desktops locally. Browser access and RDP administration are available, while central operation covers applications, data and users. Small teams are a particularly natural fit, though the plans also span higher resource levels for larger requirements.
The four monthly plans scale server resources and backup counts. Starter 5.0 costs €59.99 per month and includes 6 GB RAM, 2 CPU cores, 100 GB NVMe storage, one user license and one backup; its published capacity is up to 2 users. Business 5.0 is €81.99 monthly, with 12 GB RAM, 4 CPU cores, 400 GB NVMe storage and 3 backups. Business Plus 5.0 costs €131.99 monthly and raises those allocations to 24 GB RAM, 6 CPU cores, 500 GB NVMe storage and 4 backups. Enterprise 5.0 is €201.99 monthly, with 64 GB RAM, 8 CPU cores, 600 GB NVMe storage and 5 backups. All include one user license, with additional terminal and Parallels RAS user licenses available as options. Pricing is net, and VAT may vary by customer residence. A 14-day trial is offered.
The service runs on Windows Server 2022 or Windows Server 2025 in a public cloud, and supports RDP and Parallels RAS session protocols. Self-service start and stop, monitoring, automatic backups and a reinstall option give administrators a set of operational controls alongside remote access. The listed support channels are phone, email, ticket and documentation, without 24/7 coverage. Choose it if a hosted Windows terminal server and tiered resource bundles match your team; consider another option if you need a free plan, round-the-clock support, or more than the Starter plan’s stated user capacity at its entry price.
