At a glance
Kasm Workspaces here, in four lines.
What it is, what we install, what management covers and what it needs. The rest of this page is detail.
- What it is
- Kasm Workspaces streams desktops, single apps, and disposable browsers from Docker containers straight to a browser tab. Open a throwaway Chrome to click a suspicious link, hand a contractor an isolated Ubuntu desktop, or run a licensed app once for a session that vanishes on close.
- What we install
- Our playbook deploys the full Kasm stack behind the server's HTTPS front, reachable at your kasm subdomain with authentication from first boot and swap configured the way Kasm expects. Community Edition ships by default; a commercial license from Kasm drops into the same install.
- What managed covers
- Server updates, daily snapshots, optional Dual Backups, monitoring, the managed firewall, and humans on call. Workspace images, users, and sessions are yours to run; the platform underneath stays patched and private.
- What it needs
- 8 GB RAM
Runs on a server of its own, from $26.67/mo.

Three ways to run Kasm Workspaces.
Installing Kasm Workspaces is the easy part. The real question is who keeps it running.

Built for
What people run on Kasm Workspaces here.
On your own server, using it more never costs more.
Browsers that cannot hurt you
Open risky links in a disposable containerized browser that vanishes on close.
Streamed desktop workspaces
Full Linux desktops and apps delivered to any browser, for contractors and travel laptops.
Secure remote work environments
Data stays in the workspace on your server; the endpoint only sees pixels.
Training and demo environments
Spin identical sandboxed sessions for a class or a demo, reset by design.
On its own
Kasm Workspaces gets the whole server.
Kasm Workspaces needs the whole server, so it runs alone. Your other apps go on a second server, managed from the same client area.
Want more apps beside it? Build a second stack in a minute; both servers sit in one client area, with one team looking after them.

The details
Kasm Workspaces here, in plain words.
Straight answers to what people ask before they choose where to run it.
What is Kasm actually for?
Three jobs, one platform. Disposable browsers: open risky links or separate identities in a container that is destroyed on close. Streamed desktops: give a contractor or a traveling you a full Linux desktop in a tab, no VPN client, no software install. App streaming: run one tool, in isolation, on demand.
How much server does Kasm need?
8 GB is the honest floor: the platform itself takes a real slice, and every live session wants roughly 2 GB on top. Two or three concurrent desktops run comfortably on 8 GB; a heavier team sizes up from there.
Is Kasm free? What does the license cost?
Community Edition is free for personal use and evaluation, with a 5-concurrent-session limit; Kasm licenses commercial use separately, with paid tiers starting at roughly $5 to $10 per user per month bought directly from Kasm. We install and manage either edition at $0; the license, when you need one, is between you and Kasm.
Can Kasm reach Windows desktops?
Kasm streams Linux containers; Windows enters as a connection target over RDP. Pair your Kasm server with a Windows server (Windows Server 2022 and 2025 are in the cart) or point it at a Windows machine you already run, and the desktop shows up in the same browser workspace.
FAQ
Kasm Workspaces hosting, answered.
Still deciding? These are the questions we hear most.
Kasm or Guacamole?
Kasm creates fresh containerized desktops and browsers on demand; Guacamole connects you to machines that already exist. Secure disposable browsing wants Kasm; reaching your office PC wants Guacamole. They install side by side on one server and plenty of teams run both.
How private are the sessions?
Each session is its own container, destroyed on close unless you persist it, and everything rides your server's HTTPS with authentication from first boot. Pair with WireGuard and the whole workspace can live off the public internet entirely.
What does Kasm hosting cost?
The install is $0 like every app here; the server is the cost, from $26.67/mo for 8 GB on annual billing, fully managed, Dual Backups optional. Commercial Kasm licenses are bought from Kasm and priced per user.
Why does Kasm need 8 GB?
Each streamed session is a container running a real browser or desktop; the platform plus a few concurrent sessions is what the floor covers. More users, more RAM, resize as adoption grows.
How many concurrent sessions fit?
Plan on roughly 1.5 to 2 GB per desktop-class session after the platform's share. A 16 GB server comfortably runs a small team's daily use.
Is this Kasm Workspaces on a VPS or on shared hosting?
A VPS. Kasm Workspaces runs on your own private virtual server with dedicated, non-oversold resources and its own IP. You get real isolation and performance, with the setup, TLS and hardening handled for you.
Can I run other apps on the same server?
No, and that is deliberate. Kasm Workspaces needs exclusive access to the VM: real-time workloads do not tolerate neighbors competing for CPU and network timing. Other tools go on a second server, managed from the same client area and bill.
Do you migrate my existing Kasm Workspaces?
Yes, migration help is free. Open a ticket with access to the current setup and we move it, verify it, and hand it back running. Nothing switches until you approve.
Can I upgrade or downgrade the plan later?
Anytime. Plans resize from the client area in minutes, annual billing keeps its flat 17% discount at every size, and there is never a fee to change tiers.
Kasm Workspaces runs. You sleep.
