What Remote App Hosting does

Remote App Hosting is a privately held managed hosting and IT services provider headquartered in the Encino/San Fernando Valley area (818 area code), Los Angeles, California. The firm has operated for several decades — citing 30+ years in IT support and 16+ years in cloud hosting — and serves a horizontal mix of small businesses as its primary segment, with a secondary offering for individuals and small teams. Its technical foundation is conventional cloud-based managed hosting infrastructure running Windows and Linux server environments, delivered through hosted Remote Desktop Services (RDS), virtual private servers (VPS), and dedicated private cloud configurations.

The company monetizes via recurring monthly subscriptions for managed hosting (Virtual 24™ Windows/Linux VPS, Private Access™ dedicated private cloud, Simple Cloud™ entry-level hosted RDS, Business Essentials™ RDS for SMB teams) plus ongoing managed IT services (backups, security, troubleshooting) and website hosting. Pricing is quote-based rather than tiered on its public site; a promotional offer of free setup and the first two months free is advertised. Distribution is sales-led and predominantly domestic: phone-based direct sales at a single toll number, online self-serve client/billing portal, Microsoft Outlook–based booking for server cost analysis consultations, with top-of-funnel presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, and an active blog. No formal parent, venture backing, M&A, or AI/ML product capability is disclosed in available data, consistent with a founder-/privately-owned SMB managed services operator.
