Question

Is this possible? Then connect via VNC to the server? If not, can somebody recommend me a website that allows this?

You can install both Ubuntu (11.04, 12.04, 12.10) and Fedora (16 and 17) from the standard os images, and i believe running your own images is in the works.

You can then use VNC, or their own HTML5 Console.

We provide Desktop images as well which already have a full GUI installed and they are labelled as "Desktop".

Then you can use our HTML5 VNC console to gain access to the GUI from the control panel.

Hi where would the desktop images be found when creating a droplet?

Unfortunately we are no longer offering desktop images. You can however install a desktop environment manually on a (1GB+) droplet. I would recommend using XFCE as it's relatively lightweight and works well:

sudo apt-get install xfce4

VNC will allow you to connect to your server remotely, as well as be able to use your keyboard, mouse, and monitor to interface with that server. Get it setup on your Ubuntu 12 cloud server.

And what about Windows, raiyu? You haven't answered.

We do not provide support for Windows servers and I dont think running some sort of virtualization inside of a virtual server to attempt to install Windows would work well.
