A VPS—or virtual private server—is a virtual machine that provides virtualized server resources on a physical server that is shared with other users. With VPS hosting, you get dedicated server space with a reserved number of resources, offering greater control and customization than shared hosting.

Virtual server can vary, depending on the use case. Often located in an off-site data center or cloud environment, virtualizing servers involves converting one physical server into multiple virtual machines (VMs). A virtual server is configured so that multiple users can share its processing power. Cloud servers are virtual (not physical) servers running in a cloud computing environment that can be accessed on demand by unlimited users. Cloud servers work just like physical servers and they perform similar functions like storing data and running applications.

I wrote previously in 2020 a report with the name: “Quick Guide for Obtaining Free Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Services”. It covered getting free or cheap RDP service from some Virtual Private Servers providers such as: freerdpserver.com, Google Cloud, Qwiklabs.com, Alibabacloud.com, CloudSigma.com, Microsoft Azure, Free Microsoft Azure RDP/VPS through Sandbox subscription, AWS Amazon, free RDP service with Amazon AWS Educate, free trial RDP/VPS from OVH CLOUD. This is the link of my previous report:

This report continues the topic through evaluating other useful options for widely used virtual private server hosting providers, some of them free.

Note that Github now restricts the accounts that try to create workflow related to RDP severs as they consider that will cause burdens to their servers so my account was restricted and I could not run the Github workflows presented in this report.

The report contains the following sections:
1. Preview about Ngrok.com functionality.
2. Different methods to obtain free RDP using Google Cloud Shell:
3. Different methods to obtain free RDP using Github.com website.
4. Getting RDP server using runcode.io.
