Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

1. Why should I use hosted Visual Studio instead of browser-based tools?

Though browser-based tools are helpful for many scenarios, the developers are comfortable in using desktop tools which are familiar, rich, and convenient to use. Moving Visual Studio in the Cloud keeps that familiarity intact, along with the added advantage of anytime anywhere access.

2. How is hosted Visual Studio better than Visual Studio Online?

Visual Studio Online, now known as Visual Studio Codespaces, is not yet a fully developed solution. It supports Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio 2019 (available only through Private Preview), or the included browser-based editor. These restrictions do not apply to hosted Visual Studio. You can bring any Visual Studio license of your choice or buy one from Apps4Rent.

3. Is cloud-based environment beneficial for development purposes?

Writing code and building software using Visual Studio is a resource-intensive and invasive process while working on local machines. You might require specific development and runtime stacks, which can be complex, disruptive, and in some cases impossible to set up on local environments. Additionally, as your software evolves, its codebase will grow beyond the scale that even the most powerful laptops and desktops can handle. Apps4Rent Virtual Machines allow you to scale your resources as per your requirements.

4. Is Visual Studio accessible from any device?

Visual Studio has operating systems, hardware, and language support requirements. If these requirements are not met, it cannot run locally. Apps4Rent’s VMs comply with all system requirements and can be accessed from any device that can establish a Remote Desktop Connection.
