Apps / Kasm Workspaces
Managed Kasm Workspaces hosting.
One server, no app limits.
Stream desktops, apps, and disposable browsers to any browser tab. Container-built, session-isolated, gone when you close it.
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.
Minimum RAM
8 GB
Fits on SC-8GB; SC-16GB is the comfortable pick with room to stack.
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, dual offsite 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.
The app is $0. The managed server is the only bill, and everything above is part of 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, and the cart meter does that math when you stack it with other apps.
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 Cube with a Windows Cloud Cube (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.

Frequently asked questions
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 managed server is the cost, from $68.33/mo for the 8 GB Cube on annual billing. Commercial Kasm licenses are bought from Kasm and priced per user.
