How does an RDP help with power cuts in Iraq?
When electricity goes out at home or in the office, a local computer shuts down and any unsaved work or running process is lost. With a remote desktop, the computer that does the work sits in a Baghdad data centre with backup power and cooling, so it keeps running regardless of your local supply. You only need a device with a battery and a mobile data connection, such as a phone or laptop, to reconnect. Your applications, downloads and trading platforms continue exactly where you left them, which is why many Iraqi professionals rely on RDP for important work.
Which payment methods can I use from Iraq?
USDT and Bitcoin are the usual choice for Iraqi customers, with PayPal, Perfect Money and foreign cards also welcome. These options are helpful in Iraq, where international card payments can be difficult. Invoices are issued in US dollars each month, and you can pay for several months in advance if you prefer. There is no long-term contract, and you can cancel before your next billing date. Our billing team can help if you have questions about a payment method.
Should I pick Windows Server 2019 or 2022?
For most Baghdad users 2022 is the sensible default thanks to its newer security baseline. Windows Server 2019 remains widely used and may be preferred if you run software that has been tested specifically on that version. Both look similar to a normal Windows desktop and support Remote Desktop, browsers, office tools and trading platforms. If you are unsure, choose 2022; our support team can reinstall with 2019 later if an application requires it. Both are available at the same price.
Is my Iraqi IP address shared with others?
No. Each Baghdad desktop receives its own dedicated Iraqi IP address that is not shared with other customers. This means websites and services see your desktop as a unique Iraqi user, and the reputation of the address depends only on your own activity. Dedicated addresses are important for logging in to banking, e-commerce and business accounts reliably. Please use your desktop responsibly, because spam or abuse from your IP can lead to it being blocked by other services and may result in suspension.
How much transfer do I get each month?
You get a terabyte a month on the entry desktop and double that on every bigger one. For remote office work, browsing, video calls and trading, this is far more than most users need. Large downloads or video streaming use transfer faster, so keep an eye on heavy activities. If you approach your limit, our team will notify you and suggest options. Your allowance renews with every invoice. Streaming Arabic TV for hours every day would be one of the few ways to reach it.
Can my team share one Baghdad desktop?
Yes. Windows Server allows you to create separate user accounts for each member of your team, so everyone logs in with their own username and password while sharing the same applications and files. This is ideal for small offices with branches in different cities. Offices with several people online together should pick one of the two largest tiers and license concurrent RDS sessions properly. Our support team can guide you through the setup. Each user's desktop settings are kept separately.
How do I keep my desktop secure?
Change the default password to a strong one immediately after your first login, and keep Windows updated. Use the firewall to allow Remote Desktop connections only from the IP addresses you use, if they are stable. Avoid downloading software from untrusted sources, and enable two-factor authentication on important accounts such as email and banking. Anything suspicious? Raise a ticket and we will lock things down or rebuild the machine. Using a separate desktop for banking and for general browsing is an extra safeguard worth considering.
Can I connect from my phone?
Yes. Microsoft's free Remote Desktop app is available for Android and iOS. Install the app, add your desktop's IP address, username and password, and you can control your Windows desktop from your phone. This is useful for checking trading positions or sending documents while away from your computer. For longer work sessions, a tablet or laptop with a larger screen is more comfortable, but the phone app works well for quick tasks. The app also works over 4G, which is handy during local power cuts when home Wi-Fi is down.
