Remote Control to your Web Server

If you have bought a dedicated server hosting, an unmanaged service, you might need to remote access your server often.

You can use Remote Desktop to remotely control your server. Now you have another choice. The other day, I stumbled accross a remote computer control called LogMeIn

LogMeIn has variety version, they do provide free service as well as paid service. Of course, paid service has more feature, but for me, free service is more than enough now.

Why LogMeIn? Yeah, you may ask this question, first and foremost, LogMeIn is FREE! wahahahahaha. On top of this, LogMeIn is web-based application, and you do not have to install except some plugin, in order to access a computer. Morover it performs ultra-fast Remote Control with patent-pending, point-to-point technology. Thus you can remote your computer in Japan if you have a PC in Malaysia, this is most suitable for those who need to go outstation frequently!
