The basics

What is Desktop as a Service?

Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is a cloud computing model in which a provider hosts a full Windows desktop on its own infrastructure and streams it to you over the internet. Instead of buying and maintaining a physical PC, you subscribe to a desktop that lives in the cloud and reach it from any laptop, tablet or thin client.

The provider takes care of everything underneath — the servers, storage, patching, security and backups — and bills it as a predictable monthly fee. You simply log in and work in a familiar Windows environment, with your files, apps and settings exactly where you left them.

Traditional DaaS was built for large enterprises and needed specialists to deploy. flexidesktop brings the same model to individuals and small teams as a self-service product: pick a plan, and your hosted Windows desktop is ready in minutes.

New to the concept? Our complete guide to Desktop as a Service explains how DaaS works, how it compares to VDI, and what to look for in a provider.

How it works

From sign-up to a working desktop in three steps

No servers to configure, no virtual desktop infrastructure to stand up. flexidesktop handles the heavy lifting so you can start working.

1

Choose your plan

Pick the vCPU, RAM and storage you need — from a light office desktop to a GPU workstation. Add Microsoft Office or extra storage at any time.

2

We provision your desktop

Your cloud Windows desktop is created and ready in minutes in the datacenter region you choose — no IT setup or technical expertise required.

3

Connect from anywhere

Log in from any device through your browser or a Remote Desktop client. Your desktop stays on and exactly as you left it, every time.

Who it's for

Desktop as a Service for every kind of work

One flexible cloud desktop, ready for individuals, remote teams and specialised professionals alike.

Remote & distributed teams

Give everyone the same secure Windows environment, accessible from home, the office or the road — with central control and no shipping of laptops.

Freelancers & solo pros

Run a powerful, always-on PC without buying hardware. If your laptop fails on deadline day, your work is still safe in the cloud.

Accountants & finance

Run Windows-only accounting and tax software securely, keep sensitive client data off local devices, and stay audit-ready.

Developers & automation

Spin up a clean Windows dev box, or keep bots, scripts and agents running 24/7 in the cloud instead of tying up your local machine.

Designers & GPU work

Add NVIDIA vGPU power for 3D, CAD, video editing or rendering — a high-spec workstation you reach from a thin laptop.

Healthcare & regulated

Keep data centralised and protected with built-in security monitoring, so practitioners can work from anywhere without compliance risk.

FAQ

Desktop as a Service, answered

The most common questions about how DaaS works and what you get with flexidesktop.

What is Desktop as a Service (DaaS)?
Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is a cloud computing model in which a provider hosts a full Windows desktop on its own infrastructure and streams it to you over the internet. You get a complete, always-on PC you can reach from any device, with the provider handling the hardware, maintenance, security and backups for a predictable monthly fee.
How is DaaS different from a traditional PC?
With a traditional PC you buy hardware up front, maintain it yourself and are tied to one physical machine. With DaaS there is no hardware to buy — your desktop lives in the cloud, you reach it from any laptop, tablet or thin client, and you can scale CPU, RAM or storage up or down whenever you need to.
Do I need IT staff or technical skills to use flexidesktop?
No. flexidesktop is built for self-service: you pick a plan and your cloud desktop is provisioned in minutes — no servers to configure, no VDI infrastructure to manage and no IT team required. If you can use a normal Windows PC, you can use flexidesktop.
How much does Desktop as a Service cost?
flexidesktop plans start at $19/month with flat, predictable pricing — no surprise hourly bills. You can add Microsoft Office, GPU power or extra storage as you need them, and every plan comes with a 3-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I run my existing Windows software on a cloud desktop?
Yes. Your flexidesktop desktop is a full Windows environment, so you can install and run the same applications you would on a local PC — Office, accounting suites, design tools, browsers, automation scripts and more — and access local printers and devices.
Is my data secure on a cloud desktop?
Your data lives in secure datacenters rather than on a device that can be lost or stolen, and flexidesktop includes built-in security monitoring covering vulnerabilities, compliance and threat detection. Because the desktop is centralised, you keep full administrator control over what runs on it.
