This is because if you ever need to troubleshoot your VPS, you will need to be able to remotely connect to it. Additionally, if you are planning on using your VPS for hosting websites or other services, you will need to be able to remotely connect to it in order to manage your server.

2. Enter the IP address or hostname of your VPS in the remote desktop client.

3. Click “Connect.”

4. You’ll be prompted to enter your username and password.

5. Once you’re connected, you’ll see the desktop of your VPS.
