Crucial Windows VPS review
A scalable Sydney Windows VPS for administrators who need large memory and RDP access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Crucial Windows VPS provides self-managed virtual servers hosted in Sydney, Australia. Each plan comes with Windows Server preinstallation, RDP-oriented administrator access, SSD storage, a dedicated IP address, DDoS protection, instant provisioning and a 99.9% uptime guarantee. It is aimed at users who are comfortable administering Windows servers themselves, particularly Australian workloads that need substantial memory and a local hosting location.
The published monthly plans start with Windows 4GB at $95.17 AUD for 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs, 50 GB SSD storage and 2,000 GB monthly data. Windows 6GB costs $123.39 AUD, while Windows 8GB costs $147.18 AUD and adds 4 vCPUs, 80 GB SSD storage and 4,000 GB monthly data. Higher tiers include Windows 12GB at $243.49 AUD, Windows 16GB at $311.47 AUD, Windows 32GB at $543.73 AUD, Windows 64GB at $928.95 AUD and Windows 96GB at $1,206.41 AUD per month. Resource configurations scale to 128 GB RAM, with one dedicated IP included on each listed plan.
This service favors control over managed administration. The Windows VPS plans are unmanaged, and technical support is not included. Backups are also not included, although they are available as an option, so backup planning remains part of the administrator’s responsibilities. The product is a strong fit for users who need Windows Server, RDP access and large-memory configurations in Sydney and can manage the environment independently. Buyers seeking included backups, technical support or a managed Windows VPS should consider an alternative service.
