It is exactly the same as a standalone pc, you can scale the sever to your own needs and access it via team viewer or i use remote desktop from pc or tablet. even my phone can access it, you can start/stop from the website to minimize cost, i run a virtual server with the lowest of specs, about 615mb ram and that will run Gruss with an excel sheet running everyday for about 8 hours cost about $20 a month, when idle not running at all cost about $7
