How to run software on my VPS?

Posted on January 26, 2016

I made a proxy just now using centos os but I would also like to be able to access my vps like the windows vps i have so I can install software on it. Is this not possible on centos os?

Please let me know how I can control my vps like a windows vps and install software on it.

A windows server uses a RDC to connect to it. This is not possible on a linux server and you won’t have a GUI like Windows does. You will be able to connect to your server with SSH and use commands to install your software and create configurations.
