AccuWebHosting

A Windows VPS line with RDP where the Server licence is included at $6.33/month on a 12-month term — but the $2.99 headline is $2.99 per GB of RAM per month on a 180-day evaluation licence, and the standard tiers renew at up to double the advertised rate.

Rating
3.7 3.7 out of 5
Starting price $1.99 the entry figure differs by product line — shared hosting Budget is $1.99/month on the 36-month cycle (a $71.64 prepayment), the licensed Windows VPS tiers start at $6.33/month on the 12-month cycle, and the $2.99 Windows VPS headline is $2.99 per GB of RAM per month on a 180-day evaluation licence whose default 4 GB configuration totals $11.99/month

Pros

  • The Windows Server licence is included in the VPS price, not an add-on: every standard tier prints Windows 2022/2019 - License Included, and the $6.33/month VPS Opal is cheaper than most Windows VPS rivals once the licence is priced in
  • Full RDP, one IP address and Complimentary and Daily Backups on every standard tier, plus Remote Desktop Access and 24/7 Live Support listed on the card itself
  • The company has traded since 2003: the domain accuwebhosting.com was registered on 2003-01-13 and the footer reads Copyright © 2003-2026 AccuWebHosting.com USA, which is a 23-year public record rather than a reseller with no history
  • Trustpilot carries accuwebhosting.com at 4.4 from 220 reviews with the profile claimed since May 2023 — a real, claimed profile with 16 reviews in the last 12 months, not a self-published badge
  • The Service Level Agreement publishes a quantified credit table rather than a slogan: 97-99% uptime earns 1 day of service charges, 95-96.99% earns 2 days, and 90-94.99% earns 5 days (ToS §3, checked 2026-10-03)
  • Four product lines are covered by a 30-day money-back window rather than a token one: Linux Shared, Windows Shared, Re-seller and CDN hosting all get thirty days from the service Effective Date (ToS §2, checked 2026-10-03)
  • No setup fee on the standard configuration: the only Setup Fee string in the whole checkout page hangs off an optional Priority Delivery upgrade that is not selected by default, and Standard Delivery is $0.00 USD
  • Nothing is pre-ticked at checkout either: Control Panel, Email Server, SQL Server, CDP Backup and Managed Services all default to Not required or Self-Managed VPS, and every line of the Configuration Summary reads $0.00 USD

Cons

  • Every standard Windows VPS tier renews higher than it is advertised: Opal rises 10.4%, Pearl 50.1%, and Diamond, Emerald and Mellite 100.0%, so the advertised rate is a first-term figure — diarise the renewal date when you buy, not when the email arrives
  • The pricing page prints Renews at the same price for the shared Budget plan while ToS §2 prints Discounts apply only during the initial Term of the Services, and do not renew — the contract is the stricter of the two documents, so budget on the contract
  • The refund window depends on the product line and sits under a blanket no-refund sentence — The Fees are your sole and exclusive responsibility. They are non-refundable. — with the VPS window at 7 days rather than 30 and the Windows VPS page printing its 7 days only in the badge area and never on the plan cards, so shared, Re-seller and CDN hosting are the exceptions that get thirty days rather than the rule
  • Leaving mid-term costs the whole term: you will be charged all the Fees you would have paid if you had completed the Term, the Term auto-renews for an equal-length period, and cancelling needs written notice at least 30 days before the end that the vendor must acknowledge within 5 business days, or the Services set out in your notice will not be terminated
  • The SLA credit table stops at 90% with nothing published below it, excludes downtime caused by upstream bandwidth providers, is capped at one month's fees, offsets future fees only, is the sole and exclusive remedy, and no claim procedure is published anywhere
  • The $2.99 headline is a per-GB-of-RAM rate on a Windows Evaluation licence with 180 Days Validity that cannot be continued, and that card alone says No backups included
  • ToS §4 caps every plan's monthly bandwidth and bills the overage, allows Cron at most 3 times a day, sets a 10% system-resource red line, and states that backup services will not capture all data — keep your own off-site copy
  • No independent performance benchmark has tested this host: Review Signal's 2026 WordPress and WooCommerce benchmarks and its shared-hosting tables do not list it — an evidence gap for a buyer, not a verdict on the hardware

Pricing

Windows Eval (180-Day Valid)

$2.99 per GB of RAM per month; the default 4 GB / 1 vCPU configuration is billed as an $11.99/month total, and there is no renewal because the licence cannot be continued past 180 days

  • The card that carries the $2.99 headline: the page states $ 2.99 /GB/mo, not $2.99/month, and the default 4 GB • 1 vCPU build totals $ 11.99 /mo
  • Windows Evaluation License with 180 Days Validity — the vendor tooltip reads 'The server can't be continued after that' — and No backups included
  • 4 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 40 GB SSD, 500 GB bandwidth, 1 IP, Remote Desktop Access (Windows VPS page, checked 2026-10-03)

VPS Opal

$6.33 per month on the 12-month cycle; the card prints Renews at USD $ 6.99/mo (a 10.4% increase, calculated from the two figures the page prints)

  • 1 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 40 GB SSD, 500 GB bandwidth, 1 IP address, Remote Desktop Access
  • Windows 2022/2019 - License Included, so the Server licence is inside the price rather than a separate add-on
  • Complimentary and Daily Backups, 24/7 Live Support, and a 29.58% Save badge on the same card

VPS Pearl

$9.99 per month on the 12-month cycle; the card prints Renews at USD $ 14.99/mo (a 50.1% increase, calculated)

  • 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 60 GB SSD, 750 GB bandwidth, 1 IP address, Remote Desktop Access
  • Windows 2022/2019 - License Included, Complimentary and Daily Backups
  • 33.35% Save badge against a renewal that is half again as much

VPS Diamond

$19.99 per month on the 12-month cycle; the card prints Renews at USD $ 39.99/mo (a 100.1% increase, calculated). The ordering system bills the same tier at $39.99 monthly, $119.97 quarterly or $479.88 annually with no long-term discount

  • 4 GB RAM, 3 vCPU, 100 GB SSD, 1.5 TB bandwidth, 1 IP address, Remote Desktop Access
  • Marked Most Popular and badged 50.01% Save — the largest badge on the page and the largest renewal jump in percentage terms
  • Windows 2022/2019 - License Included, Complimentary and Daily Backups, 24/7 Live Support

VPS Emerald

$39.99 per month on the 12-month cycle; the card prints Renews at USD $ 79.99/mo (a 100.0% increase, calculated)

  • 8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 125 GB SSD, 2 TB bandwidth, 1 IP address, Remote Desktop Access
  • Windows 2022/2019 - License Included with Complimentary and Daily Backups
  • Still only 4 vCPU: the Windows VPS line doubles RAM and storage between tiers more often than it adds cores

VPS Mellite

$79.99 per month on the 12-month cycle; the card prints Renews at USD $ 159.99/mo (a 100.0% increase, calculated)

  • 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 200 GB SSD, 2.5 TB bandwidth, 1 IP address, Remote Desktop Access
  • Top of the line, badged 50.00% Save, and the same 100% renewal step as Emerald and Diamond
  • The contract selector on this page offers only 1, 3 and 12 months — there is no 24 or 36-month Windows VPS cycle to spread the cost over

Budget (shared hosting, for comparison)

$1.99 per month on the 36-month cycle, a $71.64 prepayment; the card prints Renews at the same price and the alert reads Renews at USD $ 1.99/mo, so the headline figure survives renewal on this one plan

  • 1 website, 10 GB SSD storage, 25 GB bandwidth, 500 MB RAM, 25 email accounts, I/O capped at 768 KB/s, Basic Support
  • The only shared plan on the pricing page whose renewal is printed as the same number — Bootstrap ++ renews at $2.79 and Premium ++ renews at $9.99 against a $3.99 advertised rate, a 150.4% increase calculated from those two figures
  • Free domain is limited to .us/.com/.org/.co.uk/.in/.net, first year only, and annual or longer cycles only (vendor tooltip, checked 2026-10-03)

Who it is for

  • Buyers who need a Windows Server with full RDP and want the licence inside the monthly price rather than bought separately — VPS Opal at $6.33/month on the 12-month cycle is the entry point
  • Developers running short-term Windows builds, migrations or test environments who can plan around a hard stop: the Windows Eval card is $2.99 per GB of RAM per month with 180 Days Validity and no continuation
  • Anyone who needs Windows 2025 specifically: the checkout Operating System list offers Windows 2019, 2022, 2025 and 2016 Standard Edition at $0.00, even though the store category text still advertises 2016 and 2019 only
  • Small ASP.NET and MS SQL sites on the shared line, where the 30-day money-back window applies and the I/O ceiling is published per plan at 768, 1024 or 1280 KB/s
  • Buyers who need a datacentre list rather than a single city: the Windows VPS location selector offers 17 locations across the US, Europe, Asia and South Africa
  • Readers who will diarise the renewal date. Every standard Windows VPS tier renews higher than it is advertised, so the second-term price is the number that decides whether this was a good purchase
