AccuWeb Linux VPS is positioned as an affordable and feature-rich option, focusing on dedicated resources, global server locations, control panel flexibility, and support. Reviews generally praise the good price-quality ratio and support, although individual experiences with deployment time or location may vary.
The attractive $5 starting price for a VPS drops to $15 after the second step of registration. This is just a temporary discount.
A huge drawback is the service activation time, which is 24 hours. Priority provisioning is available for 4 hours, but this costs an additional $20. It seems like these plans were created in the early 2000s and are completely out of touch with reality.
A day or two later, you still haven't received your order, despite being promised delivery within 24 hours. Then you get a call saying they can't issue you a VPS because you haven't verified your email. The problem is, the emails just aren't arriving. Support claims everything is fine. Okay, so I'm such a jerk, I've set up my email so badly. I provide a Google email. But to hide my private email address, I provide another email address, B, which forwards to B. The email isn't arriving either. Gmail is bad! They don't know how to set up forwarding.
Let's move on. Such an old hosting service can't create its own control panel and uses WHMCS. But this has a slight advantage – we know how it works. I'm trying to add a second user, and the system says the hosting company's website is out of disk space.
Now their technical level becomes clearer. A few minutes later, the site was up and running, and we tried again. The user was added, and I immediately received an email with an invite. So, it turns out my email is working after all. I'm so glad the problem wasn't mine! ;)
But the second problem is that it doesn't accept the invite, saying the user already exists. What? It allows me to add the user, but won't confirm the invite?
Guys, I don't know about you, but I'd advise you to stay away from this level of hosting. AccuWeb is the bottom!
