Google are giving away 8 core 32gb ram VPS servers for 60 days

Sign up to the Compute Engine, they give you £300 credit to spend,
you can get a 8 vCPU Intel Xeon and 32GB dedicated ram with
a 50 - 65,000GB SSD for 60 days for FREE, all you need is a google account.

I tested the download and upload speed, 500 Mbps download, 200 Mbps upload.

They let you choose any OS, I chose a Windows Server 2008 r2, it came
pre-installed with all the latest Windows updates, it was ready within 5 minutes
of creating my account.

After the 60 days you pay per hour that the server is active (instead of active) (8 core and 8gb ram is 0.30$ an hour, that's an amazing price IMO).

The Windows Remote Desktop speed for me is about 20 FPS I reckon,
literally feels like you're at your own computer.

It just asks for a credit or debit card. And your phone.

its basically a computer you can connect to remotely (from somewhere else, without actually accessing the computer physically) with all the ports forwarded so you can host programs/games/whatever on it.
