THAT's what I'm trying to accomplish here. The specific software I intend to use doesn't matter.

However, I understand that VPSs are often used by gamers. I'm not a gamer, myself, but that's one use.

No, I don't need to access it from the road.

If you run Windows 10 on your desktop (I assume you have a desktop), enter "Remote Desktop" into Cortana and a window will pop up where you enter your VPS's IP address (if/when you have one) so you can connect to it.

Maybe Google can help you beyond this.
