SolidWorks VPS — from €5.49/mo
Design and run simulations in the cloud — a SolidWorks VPS on NVMe with a 5-hour test period, so you risk nothing
Deploy a SolidWorks server
A SolidWorks VPS is a virtual server with full administrator access for 3D design, simulations and CAD/CAM work. You deploy the OS yourself and install your own SolidWorks licence, while heavy assemblies and simulation runs are computed on a server with vCPU and RAM to spare. Work on your projects remotely from any device, with NVMe drives keeping large models close at hand. Plans start at €5.49/mo, and a 5-hour test period lets you check the performance on your own assemblies before paying.
Plans
A VPS for SolidWorks
Standard 1 and Standard 2 shown here suit a shared parts library and project storage. SolidWorks itself needs 24 GB of RAM and 16 vCPU or more — Power 3 — and heavy assemblies also need a graphics card. 5-hour test period before payment.

Your own SolidWorks setup
Deploy the OS you need and install your own SolidWorks licence with add-ins — the server stays fully under your control.
Simulations on the server
Heavy assemblies and simulation runs are computed on a powerful server instead of your PC — work from any device.
Assemblies on NVMe
Fast drives and spare RAM keep large assemblies and referenced parts close, speeding up opening and rebuilds.
How to run SolidWorks on a VPS
Pick a plan and an image
Choose a plan — Standard 1 (4 vCPU, 4 GB) or Standard 2 (4 vCPU, 6 GB) — and select the OS image for your SolidWorks installation and remote access.
Install the OS yourself
Through the panel you deploy the chosen OS on a KVM server yourself — the configuration stays fully under your control.
Install SolidWorks
Connect over remote desktop or the KVM console, install your own SolidWorks licence and upload your assemblies.
A server for engineering design
We will suggest a plan for your assembly size and simulation load: how much RAM, how many vCPU and how much NVMe space for models. For graphics acceleration we quote a GPU configuration separately.
We also help set up remote access and a secure connection. A related workload is a VPS for AutoCAD, while heavy visualisation calls for servers with a GPU.

Yes. We provide a server with administrator rights, and you install your own SolidWorks licence — the server is entirely yours.
Yes. Simulation runs on the CPU and scales well across cores: 16 vCPU and 24 GB (Power 3, €27.99/mo) is noticeably faster than a work laptop.
The base plans focus on vCPU, RAM and NVMe. For graphics acceleration we quote a GPU configuration separately — send us a request.
Yes. The computation runs on the server, and you connect from a laptop or tablet from anywhere.
Windows Server, 16 vCPU and 24 GB of RAM or more (Power 3, €27.99/mo). Assemblies with thousands of parts need more memory — then take Max 1 (32 GB, €42.99).
For parts and small assemblies — yes. Heavy assemblies and photorealistic visualisation need a graphics card, which is a separate GPU configuration.
In a shared folder on the server with per-account access — the library and standard parts are available to every engineer, and versions never diverge.
Connect through the KVM console: it works regardless of the OS and network state. From there you can fix the configuration or reinstall Windows from scratch.
