Offshore VPS hosting
without the paperwork.
No identity verification. No personal data on file. Pay in Bitcoin, Monero or 8 other cryptocurrencies and your NVMe KVM server is online in under 5 minutes — in the jurisdiction you choose.
- No KYC, no ID, no phone number
- NVMe RAID-10 from $2.90/month
- DDoS protection included, always on
- 7-day money-back guarantee
Pay with 8 cryptocurrencies
Six sizes, one price list, no hardware cut to get there.
Every plan runs on enterprise NVMe in RAID-10 with DDoS filtering included. There is no struck-through comparison price on these cards, because we have not run the benchmark that would justify one — see the plans page for why it came down. Prices are at our Amsterdam baseline; each location carries a published index on top.

The boring things, done properly.
Offshore hosting attracts a lot of theatre. These are the eight decisions that actually determine whether a provider is worth trusting with production.
No KYC, ever
No ID document, no selfie, no proof of address, no phone number. An email address and a payment. That is the entire signup surface, and it has never been anything else.
Real KVM, not containers
Your own kernel on AMD EPYC and Ryzen silicon. Load modules, run nested virtualisation, boot a custom ISO, use WireGuard and nftables. No shared-kernel sleight of hand.
NVMe RAID-10 throughout
Enterprise NVMe in RAID-10 on every compute node — not SATA SSDs relabelled as "fast storage". Typical random read exceeds 400k IOPS per node.
DDoS filtering included
Always-on L3/L4 scrubbing — up to 6.5 Tbps at a single site, 16.5 Tbps across the fleet — included on the $2.90 plan and every plan above it. We do not null-route the customer being attacked.
Nothing to hand over
Access logs have zero-day retention — they are not kept. No DPI, no traffic mirroring, no identity-linked NetFlow. When a request arrives for data we never collected, the honest answer is that it does not exist.
Our own ASN and IP space
IPv4 address space announced from our own autonomous system. Addressing is ours, so no upstream can pull a customer's prefix on a phone call. Bring your own prefix if you have one — the AS number and its current status are on the network page.
Backups in a second country
Off-site snapshots are stored in a different jurisdiction from the server they protect, encrypted at rest. A single legal event should not take out both your server and your backups.
Humans, around the clock
A 12-minute first-reply target, 24/7. Tickets are answered by engineers who can log into a switch, not a script reading from a decision tree.
8 locations, 4 of them DMCA-ignored.
Each site is listed with its real legal position — including the United States, where DMCA does apply. Picking the wrong jurisdiction is the most expensive mistake an offshore customer can make, so we would rather you pick it with the facts.

Four steps, no human in the loop.
From opening the configurator to a root shell, our target is under 5 minutes from the moment your payment confirms. Nobody reviews your order, because there is nothing about you to review.
- 01
Size the machine
Move the sliders. vCPU, memory, NVMe, transfer and IPv4 are priced per unit and the total updates as you drag — no quotes, no sales call, no hidden setup fee.
Open the configurator - 02
Pick a jurisdiction
8 locations across 8 countries, each with its legal position stated plainly — including the one where DMCA does apply, because choosing wrong is expensive.
Compare jurisdictions - 03
Pay in crypto
An invoice opens with a QR code and an address. Pick from 8 coins. The rate is locked for the invoice lifetime, so a moving market does not change what you owe.
How crypto checkout works - 04
Get root
Credentials arrive at the first network confirmation, inside our 5-minute target. SSH key, root password, IPv4, IPv6 /64 and a browser KVM console, all at once.
First steps guide
A configurator that actually configures.
Not three tiers with a “contact us” button at the end. Drag vCPU from 1 to 32, memory from 1 to 128 GB, NVMe from 20 GB to 2 TB. Add transfer, extra IPv4, backups, layer-7 DDoS, a panel licence, a private VLAN. The price recalculates on every change and the number you see is the number the invoice says.
- Per-unit pricing published openly$0.90/vCPU · $0.80/GB RAM · $0.035/GB NVMe, monthly
- Term discounts up to 20%Three months through one year — the discount is applied before you pay, not claimed back later
- Deploy up to 20 identical serversOne configuration, one invoice, one payment
- Server-side price verificationThe checkout recomputes your total from scratch — a tampered browser payload cannot underpay
Every row above is the configurator’s own output for this build at the Amsterdam index, platform fee included. Add them up — that is the point of showing them.
Against a typical offshore host.
The right-hand column describes the practices that are common across the offshore market — KYC on escalation, cards on file, paid DDoS tiers — not a survey of named providers, because we have not run one. It is a description of a pattern, and you should treat it as our characterisation rather than as data.
| NimbusVPS | Typical offshore host | |
|---|---|---|
| Identity documents required | ||
| Phone number required | ||
| Accepts Monero | ||
| Setup fee | Often $5–$25 | |
| DDoS protection on entry plan | ||
| Custom ISO upload | ||
| Bandwidth overage billing | ||
| Per-unit custom sizing at checkout | ||
| Provider-owned ASN and IP space | ||
| Published transparency report | Method published, first period still open | |
| Entry price for 4 GB RAM NVMe VPS | $8.90 | $16–$24 |
“Typical offshore host” describes the pattern we see across the offshore market rather than any one competitor, and individual providers vary. The comparison pages set us against each category of alternative — mainstream cloud, traditional hosting, dedicated servers, card payment. We do not publish named-competitor price tables, and we say why on that page.
What customers actually run on these boxes.
Offshore does not mean shady. The overwhelming majority of what runs on our network is ordinary infrastructure belonging to people who simply do not want to hand over a passport to rent a computer.
Personal VPN and Tor infrastructure
WireGuard endpoints, Tor relays and bridges, DNS resolvers, and Pi-hole style filtering — self-hosted rather than rented from a company that logs.
Journalism and archives
Document archives, leak submission portals and mirrors of material that attracts legal pressure. Iceland, where the Media Act puts source protection into statute and a takedown needs a court injunction, exists for exactly this.
Crypto nodes and validators
Bitcoin and Monero full nodes, Lightning routing nodes, Ethereum validators and RPC endpoints — workloads whose operators would rather not be on a KYC list.
Businesses in sanctioned or unbanked regions
Founders whose passport or postal code disqualifies them at mainstream providers, running perfectly ordinary SaaS on infrastructure that will take their money.
Security research and red teams
Scanners, honeypots, malware sandboxes and C2 infrastructure for authorised engagements. Written authorisation is required and we do ask for it.
Off-site backup targets
Restic, Borg and rsync repositories deliberately placed in a jurisdiction other than the one holding the primary copy. Storage VPS reaches 16 TB.
Answered plainly.
The questions we get most, answered without hedging. There are 14 more in the full FAQ, and the knowledge base has the ones that came from real support tickets.
Do I need to provide ID to buy a VPS from NimbusVPS?
No. NimbusVPS does not perform KYC (Know Your Customer) checks and never asks for identity documents, a phone number, a selfie, or a proof of address. Ordering requires exactly two things: a working email address for service notices, and a cryptocurrency payment. You may use a disposable or aliased email address.
Which cryptocurrencies can I pay with?
NimbusVPS accepts 8 cryptocurrencies, paid straight to our own wallets: Bitcoin (BTC), Monero (XMR), Litecoin (LTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tron (TRX), Solana (SOL), and USDT and USDC on TRC-20 or ERC-20. Prices are quoted in USD and converted at the rate shown on the invoice, which is locked for the invoice lifetime.
How long does deployment take after I pay?
Deployment is automatic and begins at the first network confirmation of your payment. Our published target is a server accepting SSH within 5 minutes of that confirmation; we do not publish a measured median, because we have no monitoring history behind it yet and would rather quote a commitment than a guess. Bitcoin confirmations typically add 10–20 minutes, while Monero, Litecoin, Tron and Solana usually confirm in under two minutes.
What does "DMCA ignored" actually mean?
It means a US copyright notice has no legal force in the hosting jurisdiction, so it compels nothing on arrival. At NimbusVPS that describes 4 of our 8 locations — Iceland, Moldova, Panama and Seychelles — where notices are filed and forwarded to the customer for information, with no action taken and no suspension. Two limits worth knowing before you rely on it. Our 3 EU sites (the Netherlands, Romania and Bulgaria) are deliberately not on that list: a US notice has no direct force there either, but the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, Art. 16) obliges us to accept a complaint and deal with it, and an adequately substantiated one leaves us knowing something we cannot then sit on — so calling those sites DMCA-ignored would be a claim EU law does not let us keep. And everywhere, including the United States where the full DMCA applies, a court order from the host country's own judiciary is honoured and our acceptable use policy still applies.
What data does NimbusVPS actually store about me?
Three things: the email address you supplied, the cryptocurrency transaction reference for each invoice, and the technical metadata required to operate your server (hostname, IP assignments, resource limits, snapshot index). NimbusVPS does not store names, addresses, government identifiers, payment card data, or browsing activity. Server access logs are retained for 0 days — that is, they are not retained.
Is this real KVM virtualisation or a container?
Full KVM hardware virtualisation on AMD EPYC and Ryzen hosts. You get your own kernel, which means you can load kernel modules, run WireGuard and nftables, use Docker and nested virtualisation, mount any filesystem, and boot a custom ISO. NimbusVPS does not sell OpenVZ, LXC or shared-kernel containers under the "VPS" name.
Which jurisdiction should I choose?
Choose by threat model, not by marketing. Romania and Bulgaria give EU-grade infrastructure and data protection while US copyright notices carry no direct force — the right default for most privacy-conscious customers, provided you accept that EU law still obliges us to act on a properly substantiated complaint. Iceland has statutory source protection in its Media Act (No. 38/2011) and ties removal duties to a court injunction, which matters for journalism and archives. Panama protects private correspondence at constitutional level and makes a foreign demand travel through Panamanian courts; it has also held a mutual legal assistance treaty with the United States since 1995, and the Panama location page explains what that treaty does and does not reach. Moldova and Seychelles are the furthest from EU and US process, though Moldova shares the Budapest Convention with the US. The Netherlands is the fastest network and carries the same EU obligations as Bucharest and Sofia; the United States location is subject to full DMCA and exists purely for latency-bound North American workloads.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. Every new VPS carries a 7-day money-back guarantee. Request a refund from the control panel within 7 days of first deployment and you receive the full amount back to a cryptocurrency address of your choosing, less network fees. The guarantee applies once per customer and does not cover dedicated servers, licences already purchased on your behalf, or accounts terminated for acceptable-use violations.
Deploy in the next five minutes.
