VPS for AutoCAD — from €5.49/mo
Work in AutoCAD from any device over RDP — a Windows server with a 5-hour test period, so you risk nothing
Run AutoCAD in the cloud
A VPS for AutoCAD is a Windows server with RDP access where a drawing opens from a laptop, a tablet or a weak PC: all the computation happens on the server. For 2D drafting and typical 3D models people take 8 vCPU and 12 GB RAM (Standard 5, €13.99/mo); for heavy assemblies and visualisation — 16 vCPU and 24 GB (Power 3, €27.99/mo); the range starts at €5.49/mo. The AutoCAD licence you buy from Autodesk and install yourself; the OS you deploy through the panel or the KVM console. A 5-hour test period before payment is available — open your own .dwg and judge the viewport response. Other configurations are on the VPS hosting page.
Plans
VPS for AutoCAD
2D drawings and light projects run on Standard 5 — 8 vCPU, 12 GB RAM, 120 GB NVMe at €13.99/mo. Heavy 3D assemblies and rendering need Power 3 (16 vCPU, 24 GB) at €27.99/mo. The range starts at €5.49/mo, with a 5-hour test period before payment.

RDP access
Work in AutoCAD remotely from any device — the load stays on the server, so the local PC can be weak.
Power for 2D/3D
Dedicated vCPU and NVMe drives keep drawings smooth and heavy models processing fast.
Windows built for CAD
A Windows Server image ready for AutoCAD and related engineering software — with full RDP access.
How to run AutoCAD on a VPS
Choose a plan and an image
Size the configuration to your projects — Standard 5 (8 vCPU, 12 GB) for 2D or Power 3 (16 vCPU, 24 GB) for heavy 3D — and select a Windows Server image.
Install the OS yourself
Through the control panel and the KVM console you install Windows yourself and get full control of the server.
Install AutoCAD
Connect over RDP, install AutoCAD with your own licence and the plugins you need — and work with drawings remotely.
A workstation without buying hardware
No need to spend on a powerful PC: the heavy computation runs on the server, and you connect over RDP even from an old laptop or a tablet.
We will help pick a plan for your projects — from 2D drawings to complex 3D models. For related engineering and visualisation software there are dedicated builds: a VPS for 3ds Max and a 3D rendering server.

Yes, on a Windows Server image: connect over RDP from a laptop, a tablet or a weak PC and work as on your own computer — all the load stays on the server.
Yes, you purchase the AutoCAD licence from Autodesk and install it yourself. We provide the server and the Windows environment and do not restrict what software you run.
For 2D drafting and typical 3D models, 8 vCPU and 12 GB RAM are enough — Standard 5 at €13.99/mo. A .dwg project of 200 MB and up needs memory headroom beyond that.
Yes, on the higher configurations: for complex assemblies and visualisation take Power 3 — 16 vCPU, 24 GB RAM, 240 GB NVMe at €27.99/mo.
You do. Pick the Windows image when ordering, then install the OS and set up the server through the panel and the KVM console.
Yes. The KVM console gives hardware-level access for installing and reinstalling the OS and for emergency management, on top of RDP.
For 2D and moderate 3D — no, software viewport rendering copes. Heavy assemblies and visualisation require a GPU — that is a separate configuration.
Drawings live on the server and access is split by Windows accounts — everyone works in their own session. Backups you make yourself in the control panel in a couple of clicks: automatic copies are not part of the plan.
