In general servers, whether it is a shared server, Virtual Private Server
(VPS), or a dedicated server do not come with a graphics card installed.
Therefore you wouldn't be able to run a viewer on a VPS or dedicated or
even a shared server through any hosting provider unless they had a
graphics card installed on the server box itself.

The best way to log into your grid would be to run your grid on the server
and make sure the server's external IP address or a Fully Qualified Domain
Name (FQDN) is configured in the ini files.  Then add the grid loginurl to
your viewer's grids list on your local desktop or laptop and log in.
