Windows computer always on?

Hello,

I have some Windows softwares (Market Samurai, Scrape Box...) that I'd like to run 24/7.

For some reasons I can't do that on my personal computers, I have to turn them off by night, plus my internet connection is not so great.

So I'm looking for a service that would give me access to a Windows machine 24/7, running my softwares 24/7, and controlled graphically (this part is important, I'd like to have access to my machine's desktop in a way similar to what Teamviewer does). Do regular hosting companies offer that? Is "Windows server 2012" the solution? I'm a bit lost concerning what I have to look for on the internet.

Thanks.

    Windows hosts will let you run LEGAL software that doesn't over burden the server. You can probably buy a gadget to reboot the server. Windows server won't do ANYTHING if it is off. It is made to be RUNNING.

    what you need is "dedicated server". although not all "dedicated server" allow remote, most do. you can remote into the server use Remote Desktop Connection, it just likes you are sitting in front of the server. many hosting also provide VPS which is a server running on Virtual Machine. It will work too.

    You can purchase windows cloud based server so you pay as you use rather than paying for a dedicated server. In that server you can install all your software by connecting with remote desktop connection , rackspace has some good deals going on for cloud i guess you can check them out.
