SEO Autopilot VPS Configuration

By | February 27, 2019

Have you ever considered the matchup of running SEO Autopilot VPS?

A virtual private server, accessed from your own PC, for perhaps as little as $30 or $40 per month that allows you to turn off your own PC and run SEO and backlinking campaigns on an SEO Autopilot VPS 24 hours a day with no extra costs (such as electricity)

If you run a Windows based machine – such as Windows 10, then the functionality to talk to your remote SEO Autopilot VPS is already built in via Microsoft’s Remote Desktop connection.

Your remote server provider will give you a user name and password that, on opening your Windows Remote Desktop you can add, press connect and away you go.

The user name will almost always be in the form of the IP address of your SEO Autopilot VPS. Read our full SEO Autopilot review for more detail

The “internet protocol” address should be provided for you by whoever you are renting your VPS from

There are some options with remote desktop connection which may help if the server is very remote It is possible to have servers working for you from anywhere in the world and control them all from your normal windows desktop.

Setting up and configuring an SEO Autopilot VPS

Windows Desktop Connection

If you click “Show options” at the bottom of the standard Windows remote desktop connection dialog, you will see several tabs appear along the top

General  – where you create and save your login information. You can manage any number of SEO Autopilot VPS from your own desktop, so create and save the IP address and pass words here.

Display – This allows you to set the resolution that the remote server will be shown on your own screen. It doesn’t change the display the server itself might be running at, just how big it is on your screen. This along with colour depth, which is at standard set to 32 bit, but can be reduced to 24 or 16 bit.

Local Resources – dictates how the SEO Autopilot VPS/ For instance it is possible for the remote desktop to co-opt your local sound card and speakers. I’ve not found this easy to use but it is technically possible though there is no real requirement to do this if you are using it only as an SEO Autopilot VPS. Windows combination keys can be set which is handy for allowing you to break in and out of the server window. You can also configure your local printers to work over the internet “Local devices and resources”.

Experience – More bandwidth saving changes can be made here. Font smoothing on or off, Desktop composition options including icon sizes and colour depth. The “dragging” behaviour of items under the mouse pointer can be detailed or simplified. The desktop background can be a simple colour block (sky blue as standard) of allow wallpaper and/or a screen saver.

Menu style and menu animation can also be simplified. Handy if the VPS has low CPU power and an underpowered graphics card.

All these options are handy as they will reduce the bandwidth required when communicating with our SEO Autopilot VPS.

Advanced – Securuty options for your SEO Autopilot VPS can be changed here. You can insist on second level security of the client machine (the one you are sitting at) has a new or altered IP address. This can happen if your ISP allocated your IP address at point of connection from a pool available and these can change each time you log in.

Typically , when you open the VPS you have hired the experience will be very familiar to anyone who has used an older version of standard desktop Windows. Windows 2008, Windows 2012 or perhaps SQL server 2017.

SEO Autopilot Experience

The older versions of these will be instantly familiar to anyone who has used Windows XP and should not be an issue for anyone who has used any modern version of Windows. There are no special codes to learn. It looks like a second desktop, on your own desktop. Transfer of files can be a little slow depending on the connection, but not too much of an issue for most.

Installing software on you SEO Autopilot VPS is more or less the same as installing software on any home version of Windows. Moving files, copy and pasting, the whole experience is like running a slightly older version of Home Windows on your own PC.

Microsoft constantly update their remote desktop page, and it is a very good resource

The Big Advantage

SEO Autopilot VPS start at around $30 a month. And for that you would get an adequately specified server. You can set up the software, and any other software. I have Scrapebox, GSA SER and Kontent Machine also on my servers. Set them running  – and then disconnect.

The software will continue to run on your server when you disconnect your communication. It’s like having a second computer that works 24/7 for you in a “set and forget” way.

Another great advantage with an SEO Autopilot VPS is that, as standard your subscription or lifetime license of this best in class linking software can permit 2 instances to be installed. Ideal for one on your desktop, and another on your SEO Autopilot VPS
