Akaunting is a comprehensive, web-based accounting platform designed for small businesses and freelancers. Built with modern technologies like Laravel and VueJS, it offers the power of enterprise software, such as double-entry bookkeeping, multi-currency support, and inventory management, without the recurring per-user costs of traditional SaaS platforms. By self-hosting Akaunting on an AccuWeb VPS, you ensure your sensitive financial records stay on your own hardware, under your own rules.
A VPS keeps Akaunting running 24/7, ensuring your accounting system is always available from any browse, whether you need to check cash flow at midnight, reconcile bank statements during a weekend, or send an urgent invoice while traveling.
All your financial data, revenue figures, expense details, customer information, and bank account records stay within your own server environment, not on some third‑party cloud platform that might be subject to data breaches, government subpoenas, or sudden vendor bankruptcy.
A VPS provides guaranteed CPU and memory allocation, which becomes essential as your transaction volume grows. Double‑entry bookkeeping, multi‑currency conversions, recurring invoices, and financial report generation all require consistent resources to remain responsive, something a shared hosting environment simply cannot guarantee.
Full root access lets you configure environment variables, mount volumes for persistent storage of invoices and receipts, and run Akaunting alongside a reverse proxy like Nginx with SSL for secure remote access.
Start with a modest VPS plan and upgrade CPU, RAM, and storage as your business expands, from a few hundred monthly invoices to thousands of complex transactions across multiple companies. No need to migrate your accounting data or reconfigure your entire setup; just adjust your plan and keep running.

Yes, the community (On-Premise) version of Akaunting is free to use forever. By hosting it on an AccuWeb Docker VPS, you avoid the monthly per-user subscription fees associated with cloud SaaS platforms, paying only for your dedicated server resources.
Docker simplifies the entire lifecycle of the application by bundling the core software, database, and web server into isolated containers. This ensures a consistent environment, prevents dependency conflicts with other software, and makes the initial setup and future updates significantly faster.
Absolutely. Since you have full root access to your VPS, you can point your business domain to the server and configure custom SMTP settings. This allows you to send professional invoices and reminders directly from your own business email address (e.g., [email protected]).
Security is a top priority; your VPS includes enterprise-grade DDoS mitigation and hardware-level firewalls. Furthermore, because it is an isolated environment, you can implement signature-based blocking and automated off-site backups to ensure your financial records remain private and resilient.
AccuWeb’s VPS infrastructure is fully scalable. If your transaction volume increases or you need to manage multiple companies, you can upgrade your CPU, RAM, and NVMe storage at any time without having to reinstall your Akaunting setup or migrate data manually.
