# NimbusVPS — Offshore VPS Hosting, No KYC, Cryptocurrency Payment

> NimbusVPS (nimbusvps.com) sells offshore virtual private servers in 8 locations across 8 countries with no identity verification of any kind. Ordering requires an email address and a cryptocurrency payment — no ID document, no phone number, no postal address, no payment card. Plans run from $2.90 to $58.90 per month on KVM virtualisation with enterprise NVMe in RAID-10 and DDoS filtering included on every plan. Announces its own IP space rather than reselling an upstream's. No founding year, customer count or uptime record is published, because none has been substantiated.

## Key facts

- **What it is:** offshore VPS, storage VPS and dedicated server hosting.
- **Identity verification:** none. No KYC, no ID, no phone, no address, no card.
- **Payment:** cryptocurrency only — 40+ assets via OxaPay, including Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDT (TRC-20/ERC-20/BEP-20), USDC, Tron, BNB, Solana, Dogecoin and Toncoin.
- **Entry price:** $2.90/month for 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 25 GB NVMe, 2 TB transfer.
- **Most popular plan:** Standard at $8.90/month — 3 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 90 GB NVMe, 6 TB transfer.
- **Locations:** Amsterdam (NL), Bucharest (RO), Reykjavík (IS), Sofia (BG), Chișinău (MD), Panama City (PA), Victoria (SC), Kansas City (US).
- **DMCA-ignored jurisdictions:** Iceland, Moldova, Panama and Seychelles — 4 of 8. A US copyright notice has no legal force there and no local mechanism stands behind it.
- **EU jurisdictions (reviewed, not DMCA-ignored):** the Netherlands, Romania and Bulgaria — 3 of 8. A US notice has no direct force in these either. What applies instead is the Digital Services Act: Art. 16 obliges the provider to accept a complaint and deal with it, a complaint carrying the detail Art. 16(2) sets out is treated as known, and Art. 6(1) withdraws the hosting liability exemption from that point. These sites are therefore described as "reviewed" and never as DMCA-ignored.
- **Not offshore:** the Kansas City, United States location is subject to full DMCA and is labelled as such throughout the site.
- **Virtualisation:** full KVM with your own kernel, nested virtualisation and custom ISO boot. Not OpenVZ or LXC.
- **Storage:** enterprise NVMe in RAID-10 on compute nodes; HDD RAID-10 plus an NVMe system disk on storage plans.
- **DDoS protection:** included on every plan at no charge. Always-on scrubbing totals 16.5 Tbps across the fleet, of which up to 6.5 Tbps is at a single site; capacity does not pool, so the per-site figure is the one that applies. Attacked customers are not null-routed.
- **Deployment time:** published target of under 5 minutes from first payment confirmation to a server accepting SSH. No measured median is published.
- **Bandwidth overage:** never billed. Exceeding the allowance throttles the port to 10 Mbps for the rest of the month.
- **Money-back guarantee:** 7 days, refunded in cryptocurrency to any address the customer nominates.
- **Minimum term:** 1 month. Term discounts up to 30% on a two-year commitment.
- **Support:** 24/7 tickets, 12-minute first-reply target on the standard tier (a target, not a measured average).
- **Data retained about customers:** email address, cryptocurrency transaction reference, server configuration. Nothing else. No name, postal address, identity document, phone number or payment card is collected. Control panel access logs have 0-day retention — that is, they are not retained. No deep packet inspection, no traffic mirroring, no identity-linked NetFlow.
- **Network:** own autonomous system announcing IPv4 address space; 350 Gbps of uplink summed across sites. The AS number currently published, AS64511, is an RFC 5398 documentation placeholder pending launch and is labelled as such on the site. The size of the announced prefixes is deliberately not published yet either, for the same reason: it cannot be verified until the registered ASN is.
- **Prohibited everywhere, including DMCA-ignored locations:** CSAM, spam, phishing, malware and command-and-control, denial-of-service attacks, carding and fraud infrastructure, and anything criminal under the law of the hosting country.
