Ready to Start Encoding? Pick an Economy Plan

Economy Encoding RDP gives video editors and encoders a low-cost Windows RDP with a 1 Gbit port, 16 to 32 GB of RAM and encoding allowed on every plan. These are shared servers (2 to 5 users each) hosted in Europe, with no admin access, so you pay a fraction of the price of a dedicated encoding server. Choose from four plans starting at $35.99/mo. Need specific settings? Custom configurations are available through support.

Shared Encoding RDP Plans: Compare SILVER, GOLD, DIAMOND and PLATINUM

Resources such as RAM, CPU and bandwidth are shared among 2 to 5 users per server, so performance can vary with server load. These plans do not include admin access. Choose a shared plan for an affordable encoding RDP, or step up to a dedicated option if you need full control.

Why Choose RDPextra for Economy Encoding RDP

Why Choose Economy Encoding RDP?
A shared encoding RDP keeps video encoding affordable without giving up the basics: a fast 1 Gbit port, plenty of RAM and Windows Server 2019. Here are the key benefits:

Secure Remote Access

Every plan runs Windows Server 2019 with secured remote access, and each user works in a separate Windows session. Abusive activity such as spamming, botting, cracking and hacking is not allowed, which protects every customer on the server.

Fast Uploads and Downloads

A 1 Gbit network port and 1 to 2 TB of monthly bandwidth let you move large source files and finished encodes quickly, which matters when you work with big video projects.

Europe-Based Servers

Economy Encoding RDP plans are hosted in Europe, which suits editors and encoders who work with European clients or want low latency to European locations. Pick the plan that matches your RAM, storage and bandwidth needs.

Pre-Installed Apps

Every Economy plan includes Windows Server 2019 and a set of pre-installed apps, so you can start encoding without spending time on setup.

Four Plans to Choose From

Pick 16 GB or 32 GB of RAM, 100 GB or 150 GB of storage, and 1 TB or 2 TB of bandwidth. SILVER starts at $35.99/mo and PLATINUM is $65.99/mo.

Fair-Use Policy

Encoding is allowed on every plan. Spamming, botting, cracking and hacking are not, so a few heavy or abusive users cannot degrade performance for everyone sharing the server.

Custom Configurations

Need specific settings? Custom configurations are available through support, so you can match the server to your encoding workflow.

Right-Sized Resources

Start with the plan that fits your current projects and move to a larger one when your workload grows. Each tier is priced clearly on the plan cards above.

24/7 Support

RDPextra support is available 24/7 and can help with setup, troubleshooting and questions about your Encoding RDP, so you spend your time on encoding instead of server management.

Low Monthly Cost

Shared hosting is what keeps the price low. Plans start at $35.99/mo, far below the cost of a dedicated encoding server, which suits editors and small studios with regular encoding needs.

Built for Video Encoding

Encoding is allowed on every plan, so you can run the encoding software you already use for transcoding, rendering and batch conversions.

Compress and Convert Large Files

16 to 32 GB of RAM and a 1 Gbit port give you room to compress and convert large files, then upload the finished videos quickly.

Need More Power?

For heavier workloads, compare these plans with our Extreme Encoding RDP, or read our guide to video encoding, compression and codecs.

Low User Density

Each server is shared by only 2 to 5 users, which keeps contention lower than typical shared hosting. Performance can still vary with other users’ load.

Easy to Use

Connect with the Remote Desktop client built into Windows, no special software needed, and start working in a familiar desktop environment.

Ready When You Are

Plans come with Windows Server 2019 and pre-installed apps, so you can log in and start encoding without a long setup process.

No Admin Access by Design

Economy plans are shared and do not include admin access. If you need full administrator control, look at our dedicated server and GPU options.

Other Workloads

Rendering RDP from $39/mo and Streaming RDP at $69.99/mo cover other workloads, so you can pick the right plan for each project.

Work From Anywhere

Connect from Windows, macOS, Android or iOS with a standard Remote Desktop client and continue your work from any device.

Why RDPextra

RDPextra pairs 24/7 support with plans starting at $35.99/mo. Compare Extreme Encoding RDP if you need more CPU for heavier encoding workloads.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • 1. What is Encoding RDP and how does it differ from standard RDP?

    An Encoding RDP is a remote Windows desktop you rent for video and audio encoding, transcoding and rendering. Unlike a general-purpose RDP, it is sized for CPU and RAM heavy media work and allows encoding software to run, so long exports run on the server instead of tying up your own computer.

  • 2. What is “Economy Encoding RDP” on RDPextra and what features does it include?

    Economy Encoding RDP is the low-cost encoding plan from RDPextra. It runs on shared Windows Server 2019 servers hosted in Europe. Four plans (SILVER, GOLD, DIAMOND and PLATINUM) cost from $35.99 to $65.99 a month and include 16 to 32 GB of RAM, 100 to 150 GB of disk, 1 to 2 TB of bandwidth, a 1 Gbit port and pre-installed apps. Admin access is not included.

  • 3. Who should choose an Encoding RDP instead of a local workstation?

    Choose an Encoding RDP when you want to offload long exports or batch transcodes, keep jobs running without leaving your own PC on, or move large files over a fast 1 Gbit connection. It suits video editors, small studios and anyone with regular encoding work.

  • 4. Does Economy Encoding RDP support GPU-accelerated encoding or hardware codecs?

    No. Economy plans list Intel Core or AMD processors with 16 to 32 GB of RAM and no dedicated GPU, so encoding runs on the CPU. If you need GPU acceleration, look at the GPU Dedicated Streaming RDP, which starts at $79/mo.

  • 5. What network bandwidth and latency should I expect for reliable encoding RDP performance?

    Every Economy plan has a 1 Gbit port. Monthly bandwidth is 1 TB on SILVER and DIAMOND and 2 TB on GOLD and PLATINUM. Servers are in Europe, so latency is lowest for users in and near Europe. Test with a typical file to see your real transfer times.

  • 6. Can I install my own encoding software (FFmpeg, HandBrake, Adobe Media Encoder) on Economy Encoding RDP?

    Economy plans are shared and do not include admin access, so you cannot install system-wide software. Pre-installed apps are included. If you need a specific app or custom configuration, ask support before ordering, or choose a dedicated server if you need full control.

  • 7. Is using Encoding RDP legal for commercial video projects and monetized workflows?

    Commercial encoding is allowed on every plan. Spamming, botting, cracking and hacking are not allowed. You are responsible for the licences of the software you use and for having the rights to the content you process.

  • 8. How should I decide between Economy Encoding RDP and higher-tier (Extreme/Streaming) plans?

    Economy suits single-job and light to medium encoding on shared resources. If you need more CPU for heavier workloads, compare Extreme Encoding RDP, which starts at $55.59/mo. If you need a GPU or admin access, look at the GPU and dedicated server plans.

  • 9. How can I benchmark an Encoding RDP before buying to verify real performance?

    Run a representative job: transcode a sample file, watch CPU and RAM use in Task Manager, and time a large upload and download. Compare the time to finish against your own computer. If you have questions about plan limits before ordering, ask support.

  • 10. Are Economy Encoding RDP servers shared or dedicated, and why does it matter?

    Economy plans are shared. Each server is used by 2 to 5 people, each in a separate Windows session. Performance can vary with other users load. If you need consistent dedicated resources and admin access, choose a dedicated server or VPS instead.

  • 11. What payment methods and typical setup time should I expect when buying an Encoding RDP?

    Available payment methods are shown at checkout, and support is available 24/7 if you have questions before you order. Every plan includes free setup with Windows Server 2019.

  • 12. Can I use Encoding RDP for live streaming, or is it only for file-based encoding?

    Economy plans are meant for encoding and file conversion. For live streaming, RDPextra offers a separate Streaming RDP plan at $69.99/mo that is built for that workload.

  • 13. Which operating systems and pre-installed apps typically come with an Economy Encoding RDP?

    Economy Encoding RDP runs Windows Server 2019 with pre-installed apps. Ask support for the current app list if you need a specific encoder before you order.

  • 14. How many concurrent encoding jobs can an Economy plan realistically handle?

    It depends on your software and settings. With 16 to 32 GB of RAM on a shared server, plan on one or a few medium encodes at a time. For parallel heavy batches, Extreme Encoding RDP or a dedicated server is a better fit.

  • 15. What security steps should I take to protect my Encoding RDP instance?

    Use a strong unique password, do not share your login, use encrypted transfers such as SFTP or HTTPS for files, and log off when you are finished. Do not store sensitive credentials on a shared server.
