VPS hosting in Iceland

A Reykjavík VPS starts at $3.48 per month for 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 25 GB NVMe and 2 TB of transfer. The Standard configuration — 3 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 90 GB NVMe — is $10.68 per month. Iceland carries a price index of ×1.20 against our Amsterdam baseline, reflecting real differences in transit and facility cost.

Most people arrive holding one of two pictures: either we quietly comply, or we make some kind of stand. It is neither.

That letter is an instrument of United States law, and Iceland is not the United States, so nothing local turns it into an order. We date it, we file it, we send you a copy, and your server carries on. No suspension, no removal, no null-route, and no request that you justify yourself to us.

What would change the outcome is an injunction from an Icelandic court, which is what Act No. 30/2002 ties our removal duty to. That route stays open and we honour it. It simply costs them counsel in Reykjavík rather than a mail merge, which is the whole of what you are buying.

Two things it does not buy. Copyright exists in Iceland exactly as it does anywhere else, so this is a statement about who has to prove what, not about what is permitted. And our acceptable use policy runs here as it runs everywhere; nothing on it is a copyright question.

No. NimbusVPS applies the same policy in every location: no identity document, no phone number, no proof of address and no payment card. An email address and a cryptocurrency payment are all that is required, and Iceland imposes no additional customer-identification obligation on hosting providers.

Typical round-trip times from London 21 ms, Amsterdam 27 ms, New York 46 ms, Frankfurt 32 ms. The site runs on a 20 Gbps uplink at Advania Thor, a Tier III facility. The address printed in the latency panel above is a documentation example, not something you can ping yet; the panel says so and explains when the live target goes up.

Iceland stayed outside the EU retention directive, but it does keep a duty of its own under the Electronic Communications Act No. 70/2022, and that duty is addressed to the companies carrying the traffic rather than to the company renting you a machine. We are not going to argue its exact reach in a marketing paragraph, because the answer that protects you does not turn on it: there are no access logs here to hand over, at this site or any other. Independently of local law, NimbusVPS operates 0-day access log retention — logs are not kept — and holds no identity data to retain in the first place.
