About

NimbusVPS rents computers to people who would rather not explain themselves.

Incorporated in Seychelles, announcing our own IPv4 address space across 8 locations. We have never asked a customer for an identity document, and the ordering system has no field in which to put one. You will not find a founding year or a customer count on this page, because we have nothing published that you could check them against.

Why this exists

The problem we started with.

The two of us wanted to run a mail server and a few small sites, and we did not want to send a scan of a passport to a company in another country in order to do it. Every provider we approached wanted one, and every one of them gave the same reason: fraud.

The reason was true. It was also, we realised, entirely a consequence of accepting credit cards. A host taking cards inherits chargeback liability, so it has to run fraud controls, and the cheapest effective fraud control is demanding identity. Remove the cards and the whole chain disappears.

So we built a host that takes only cryptocurrency, on the theory that a fair number of other people had the same objection. That turned out to be right, and it is the same theory the business runs on today: privacy that follows from how the thing is built, not from a promise in a policy document.

We are a small team. Nobody here has a title that ends in “Officer”. The people who answer tickets are the people who configure the routers, which is why our first-reply target is 12 minutes and why the answer is usually correct the first time. That is a target we work to, not an average we have measured — when the ticket system has enough history to publish a real one, it will appear here.

How we operate

Six principles, and what each one costs us.

Every one of these has a price. We list the price because a principle you have never paid for is a preference.

01

Collect nothing you do not need

The strongest control over a data field is not creating it. We do not have a name field, an address field or a card field, which is a stronger guarantee than any promise about how carefully we would guard them.

02

Structural guarantees beat policy guarantees

"We promise not to ask for ID" is worth little from a company with an incentive to ask. "We accept no cards, so we have no fraud liability, so we have no reason to ask" is worth considerably more. That is why we are crypto-only.

03

Say which location is not offshore

Our Kansas City site is subject to full DMCA and we label it that way on the location page, the comparison table and the configurator. A customer who buys offshore hosting and lands in the United States has been sold the opposite of what they asked for.

04

Enforce a real acceptable use policy

Not collecting your passport is a privacy position, not a licence. CSAM, spam, phishing, malware and denial-of-service attacks are removed on verification in every location, including all the DMCA-ignored ones. Conflating privacy with impunity damages the case for privacy.

05

Publish the price, all of it

Per-unit rates are on the configurator. There is no setup fee, no per-IP charge on the first address, no paid DDoS tier required to survive, and no promotional rate that triples on renewal.

06

Lose an argument in public when we are wrong

When we get something wrong, the correction should be as visible as the mistake. Corrections to published articles are noted on the article itself rather than quietly edited in, and the transparency report carries the numbers once a quarter closes. What you will not find is a link to a changelog we have not built, which is the sort of proof artefact that is very easy to promise.

The company

Facts, not vibes.

An offshore host asking you to trust it should be checkable. These are the details you can verify independently.

Verify rather than trust
A hosting company’s about page is the least reliable document it publishes, including this one — so here is where it currently fails its own test. The AS number in that table is AS64511, a documentation placeholder, not a registered number you can resolve on bgp.tools or Qrator Radar; the per-site test addresses on each location page are documentation addresses too. Both are labelled as such wherever they appear, and both are replaced with the real thing when the sites open. The registered company name is missing from that table for a related reason: the name printed there previously could not be reconciled with the jurisdiction and form of incorporation this site states, so it was withdrawn rather than adjusted to fit, and it goes back only from the incorporation record. The jurisdiction, facilities and contacts above are checkable today.
