Buying6
Do I need to provide ID to buy a VPS from NimbusVPS?
NimbusVPS checkout requires an email address, your server choices and acceptance of the service terms. It does not request a name, ID upload, phone verification, postal address or payment card. Email, order and payment records are retained. This describes the purchase form, not a guarantee of anonymity or an exemption from service rules; your wallet or exchange may have its own identity requirements.
How much does an offshore VPS cost at NimbusVPS?
Nano in Amsterdam costs $8.26 paid for 3 months with a free Linux image, one server and default options. That includes 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 25 GB NVMe and 2 TB transfer per month. The shortest term is three months, not a one-month purchase. Location, paid operating systems and add-ons change the total; your wallet or exchange may charge a network or withdrawal fee.
Which cryptocurrencies can I pay with?
NimbusVPS offers Bitcoin on Bitcoin, Monero on Monero, Litecoin on Litecoin, ETH on Ethereum, TRX on TRON, SOL on Solana, and USDT or USDC on the TRON/TRC-20 or Ethereum/ERC-20 options shown at checkout. Send only the asset and network named on your payment instruction. USDC on TRON is a legacy option following Circle's discontinued support; verify wallet compatibility. The checkout displays the USD order total and exact crypto amount before transfer.
Do you accept credit cards or PayPal?
NimbusVPS checkout accepts cryptocurrency. Credit cards, bank payments and PayPal are not offered in this purchase flow. You pay directly to the displayed wallet address; no separate NimbusVPS billing account is needed to place the order.
How long does deployment take after I pay?
NimbusVPS verifies payments automatically; server preparation follows confirmation. Keep the order reference and check with support before payment if you need a server by a specific deadline. Access details are delivered to your order email after preparation.
Is there a refund policy?
NimbusVPS publishes a 7-day money-back guarantee for a new VPS or storage server, requested within 7 days of first deployment and limited to one eligible first term per customer. Outbound network fees are deducted. Dedicated servers, renewals, third-party licences already purchased and verified acceptable-use violations are excluded from this commercial guarantee. Contact [email protected] with your order ID; the refund policy sets out the terms and preserves statutory rights.
Privacy4
What data does NimbusVPS actually store about me?
NimbusVPS stores the order email, server configuration, price and term, order reference, status history and payment details. Optional hostname and SSH key are stored when supplied. Support correspondence and operational technical records can also be processed. No ID upload or phone verification is requested in checkout. Buying this way does not mean that no personal data exists or that server activity is untraceable.
Do you keep logs of my server traffic?
The no-ID purchase flow at NimbusVPS is separate from logging on a VPS, its applications and the hosting network. Your server software may keep its own logs; order and payment records are retained by NimbusVPS. We do not present a verified zero-log infrastructure guarantee. Review the privacy policy and ask support about any specific retention requirement before ordering.
What happens if law enforcement contacts you about my server?
NimbusVPS handles legal requests under the applicable law and the published privacy and acceptable-use policies. The absence of an ID-upload field does not mean order, payment or technical records are unavailable, and it does not provide immunity from a lawful request.
Can I use Tor, a VPN, or run an exit relay on my VPS?
NimbusVPS's acceptable-use policy permits VPN endpoints, Tor relays and bridges. It lists Tor exits for the Netherlands, Iceland, Romania and Moldova, with restrictions in other locations. Check the policy and confirm the chosen location before operating an exit relay. A permitted workload still has to comply with the service rules; flagging a server does not guarantee freedom from complaints or suspension.
Legal3
What does "DMCA ignored" actually mean?
A location label at NimbusVPS does not guarantee that a complaint will be ignored or that content can never be removed. Copyright reports, applicable legal requirements and the acceptable-use policy can require review or action. Choose a server by location and workload requirements, and read the abuse and copyright policy before ordering.
What is not allowed on a NimbusVPS server?
NimbusVPS's acceptable-use policy prohibits child sexual abuse material, spam, phishing, malware, denial-of-service attacks, fraud infrastructure, unauthorised access and activity criminal in the hosting jurisdiction. Verified violations can lead to suspension or termination. These rules apply in every location.
Which jurisdiction should I choose?
NimbusVPS lists 8 locations across 8 countries. Choose a location close to the people or systems using the server, check any workload restrictions and compare the resulting checkout total. A country choice alone does not establish a latency result, legal immunity or stronger anonymity. For a specific legal or technical requirement, confirm suitability before ordering.
Technical4
Is this real KVM virtualisation or a container?
NimbusVPS's compute catalogue specifies KVM virtualisation, root access and NVMe storage. This gives you a Linux VPS for your own applications and configuration. Storage VPS plans use HDD capacity with an NVMe system disk. Ask before ordering if your workload needs nested virtualisation, a particular kernel module or another requirement beyond the listed specification.
Can I choose my operating system?
NimbusVPS lists 13 operating-system templates in the configurator. Free Linux choices and paid licence options are shown separately. Windows and control-panel choices increase the total and can require a larger configuration. Confirm custom-ISO requirements with support before purchase.
What happens if I exceed my bandwidth allowance?
NimbusVPS's published resource policy specifies throttling to 10 Mbps for the rest of the month instead of transfer-overage charges. Choose a plan with enough included monthly transfer for your workload. Extra-transfer and unmetered options affect the configuration price; check the full term total rather than adding an advertised unit price to a discounted plan yourself.
Is DDoS protection included?
Standard DDoS protection is listed in NimbusVPS's catalogue as included. Advanced protection is a paid option in the configurator. These are service specifications, not a guarantee that every attack can be absorbed or that your application will never be interrupted. Choose the location and protection level for your workload and review the SLA.
Account3
What happens when my service expires?
NimbusVPS services are prepaid for the selected term. Cryptocurrency cannot be pulled from your wallet automatically, so renewal requires your action. Keep the order email accessible and arrange renewal before expiry; do not rely on an unconfirmed reminder schedule to preserve access. The service terms describe suspension and the published post-expiry grace period.
How do I contact support and how quickly do you reply?
Contact [email protected] from the email used for your NimbusVPS order, including its reference. Response and activation times depend on the request and queue. If timing is essential, agree the requirement with support before payment. Paid support options and their scope appear in the configurator.
Where is NimbusVPS based, and who runs the network?
NimbusVPS is the trading name. The registered operator name, registration number and business address are not yet published. The network page uses an explicitly labelled example ASN; it is not proof of a registered network or owned IPv4 space. Contact [email protected] before purchase if verified operator or network ownership is a requirement.
Still not answered?
Support runs 24/7 with a 12-minute first-reply target. We have not published an OpenPGP key yet, so ask on the contact page if you need a confidential channel.
