I tend to use Amazon Workspaces for this. It's a joy to work with(especially now it supports two screens). Having a desktop that is exactly the same wherever I am doesn't sound like much but is one of those small things that you really miss when it's gone. I'm not aware of any other providers, though I'm sure there are 1000s. One nice advantage of Workspaces is that it integrates with Amazon AD out of the box.

There are surprisingly few providers, and AWS WorkSpaces is unusual in that it has no minimum number of desktops. One gotcha with WorkSpaces: it is cheap enough to make sense for just one user if you the free "Simple" AD option, but "Full" AD with GPO support etc. does add a cost (though not a significant one for a business).

  OVH Virtual Cloud Desktop (https://www.ovh.co.uk/cloud/cloud-desktop/ https://www.ovh.co.uk/cloud/cloud-desktop/) does not have a minimum no. of users and it starts from 10 GBP/month.

    That's very interesting. AWS WorkSpaces does have a per-hourly billing, but OVH might be simpler and a better price for some cases.
