An offshore hosting provider operating since March 2020 in eight jurisdictions. We sell Linux VPS, dedicated servers, GPU compute, Windows RDP and storage servers, with no identity requirement and crypto-only settlement. ### Do I need to give you an email address? No. There is no email field at signup, at checkout or in the account record. You receive a 20-character access token at checkout, shown once, and that token is the account. ### What happens if I lose my token? The account becomes permanently unreachable. We store only an Argon2id hash and cannot recover it. Servers run until the paid term expires and then terminate. Write the token down — the checkout flow warns you three times. ### Which cryptocurrencies do you accept? Twelve: Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum, Tether, USD Coin, Litecoin, TRON, Solana, BNB, Dogecoin, Toncoin and Dai. Lightning is supported for invoices under $500. ### Do you accept credit cards or PayPal? No. A card rail would bring chargeback liability, which would force identity collection, which would defeat the product. Crypto-only is structural rather than stylistic. ### Is there a refund policy? Seven days on first orders, credited to your account balance rather than refunded on-chain, since we cannot send funds to an address we have no way to verify belongs to you. Balance can be spent on anything we sell. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

It sits outside EU enforcement institutions and runs on 100% hydro and geothermal power. It is the strongest legal posture on our network and priced accordingly. **Trade-off:** The most legally protective address we operate, and the most expensive. Subsea capacity is finite, so bulk-transfer workloads cost more here than anywhere else on the map. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/iceland ### Switzerland — Premium neutrality Switzerland offers the revised nFADP data-protection regime, mandatory mutual-legal-assistance process with dual-criminality review, and permanent neutrality. It is the strongest "defensible in front of a regulator" address on the network, with 8 ms latency to Frankfurt. **Trade-off:** Switzerland is not a takedown-immune jurisdiction. Swiss courts issue orders and we comply with valid Swiss ones. What you buy here is process: dual criminality, judicial review, and a state with no alliance obligation to fast-track a foreign request. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/switzerland ### Netherlands — Best peering on earth Amsterdam gives you AMS-IX-grade peering with over 1,100 direct adjacencies and 25 Gbps uplinks. Dutch blanket data retention was struck down in 2015 and never restored, and US DMCA notices carry no direct legal force. The trade-off is EU membership and Nine Eyes participation. **Trade-off:** The fastest, best-connected address we sell — and the one with the most enforcement exposure. The Netherlands is an EU member and a Nine Eyes participant. Pick it for network quality, not for legal distance. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/netherlands ### Romania — Anti-retention precedent Romania is the only EU jurisdiction where the constitutional court struck down mandatory data retention twice, in 2009 and again in 2014, and refused the replacement bill. It combines that precedent with EU-grade connectivity and the lowest cost per core in our EU footprint. **Trade-off:** EU membership means EU instruments — European Investigation Orders reach Bucharest. What Romania gives you is a constitutional court that has twice refused to let the state retain communications data, plus very good price-per-core. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/romania ### Bulgaria — Low-cost EU edge Sofia is our lowest-cost location. Bulgaria annulled blanket retention in 2015 and now requires per-request judicial authorisation. Good Frankfurt path at 34 ms, EU jurisdiction, and the best price per gigabyte of NVMe on the network. **Trade-off:** Cheapest euro-adjacent capacity we operate and a real anti-retention precedent, but it is still an EU member state with full mutual-recognition obligations. Transit is thinner than Amsterdam. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/bulgaria ### Moldova — Outside the EU perimeter Moldova sits outside the EU legal perimeter — European Investigation Orders and DSA obligations do not reach it — while remaining 42 ms from Frankfurt. There is no hosting-level retention mandate and no bilateral copyright-enforcement treaty with the United States. **Trade-off:** Real legal distance from both Brussels and Washington at a low price. In exchange: thinner transit, a smaller local operations market, and a country actively negotiating EU accession — the legal picture here has a five-year horizon, not a twenty-year one. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/moldova ### Panama — No MLAT with the West Panama has constitutional communications-privacy protection, no hosting-level retention statute, and no MLAT in force with most EU member states — foreign requests fall back to letters rogatory. Note the existing US MLAT: this is distance from Brussels, not from Washington. **Trade-off:** Genuine legal distance from Europe, and the letters-rogatory route is slow by design. But Panama does have an MLAT with the United States, so it is the wrong choice if your threat model points at Washington. Latency to Europe is 130 ms. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/panama ### Russia — Beyond Western reach Russia is outside every Western enforcement channel — Council of Europe cooperation ended in 2022 and neither DMCA nor DSA has force there. In exchange, Russian law applies in full, including mandatory SORM interception at the operator level. Choose it only when your threat model is specifically Western. **Trade-off:** We publish this one straight because the honest version is the useful version: Russia removes Western legal reach and replaces it with Russian legal reach, including SORM interception obligations at the operator level. It is the right answer for a narrow threat model and the wrong answer for a general one. Assume network-level observation and encrypt accordingly. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/russia ### France — Western Europe, lowest latency Paris is our lowest-latency Western European site, 9 ms from Amsterdam and 8 ms from London, on France-IX and DE-CIX Paris. It is not a privacy jurisdiction: France sits in the Nine Eyes tier, mandates connection-data retention that reaches hosts, and is fully within EU judicial cooperation. Choose it for speed, not for legal distance. **Trade-off:** This is a latency choice, not a legal one. France participates in the Nine Eyes tier, imposes connection-data retention that reaches hosting providers, and is fully inside EU judicial cooperation — a European Investigation Order arrives here without friction. Pick Paris because your users are in Western Europe and 9 ms to Amsterdam matters. If jurisdiction is what you are buying, buy Iceland or Switzerland instead. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/france ### United Kingdom — London transit hub London sits on LINX and LONAP with 7 ms to Amsterdam and 71 ms to New York, which is why it is on the map. Legally it is the weakest position we offer: Five Eyes membership, retention and technical capability notices under the Investigatory Powers Act, and a criminal offence for refusing to disclose a decryption key under RIPA Part III. **Trade-off:** The most legally intrusive address we operate, and we would rather say it than bury it. The United Kingdom is a founding Five Eyes member, the Investigatory Powers Act permits retention notices and technical capability notices, and RIPA Part III makes refusing to hand over a decryption key a criminal offence. London is here for its transit position — 1 ms local, 7 ms to Amsterdam, 71 ms to New York. Nothing about it is a privacy argument. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/united-kingdom ### Germany — DE-CIX, best peering in Europe Frankfurt sits on DE-CIX, the largest exchange point in the world by peak traffic, at 1 ms local and 7 ms to Amsterdam. Germany has no enforceable general retention mandate after the Constitutional Court struck it down and the CJEU confirmed, and Art. 10 of the Grundgesetz protects telecommunications secrecy — but it remains a Fourteen Eyes participant inside EU judicial cooperation. **Trade-off:** The best network position in Europe and a genuinely mixed legal picture. Germany has no enforceable general retention mandate — the Constitutional Court struck it down in 2010 and the CJEU confirmed in 2022 — and Art. 10 of the Grundgesetz protects telecommunications secrecy. Against that: Fourteen Eyes participation and full EU judicial cooperation, so a European Investigation Order reaches Frankfurt directly. Better than Paris or London on paper, still not a substitute for Zürich. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/germany ### United States — North American reach New York gives 1 ms local latency and 71 ms to London on DE-CIX New York and NYIIX. It is the least protective address we operate: Five Eyes leadership, CLOUD Act disclosure duties reaching data stored anywhere, FISA § 702 collection, and the DMCA applying directly rather than as a foreign notice. Choose it for proximity to US users and nothing else. **Trade-off:** Every reason our other pages exist. The United States leads Five Eyes, the CLOUD Act compels disclosure of data wherever it is physically stored, FISA § 702 permits collection from US providers without individual warrants, and the DMCA applies here with full force rather than as a letter you can ignore. New York is on the map because 1 ms to Manhattan and 71 ms to London is what some workloads need. If your threat model includes a copyright claimant, this is the one address on our network where they win by default. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/united-states ### Canada — North America, softer copyright Toronto sits on TorIX with 12 ms to New York and 79 ms to London. Canada has no general retention mandate and runs a notice-and-notice copyright regime — hosts forward complaints instead of removing content — which makes it calmer than the United States for routine notices. It remains a founding Five Eyes member, so treat it as a latency choice. **Trade-off:** A Five Eyes country with one genuinely useful property: the notice-and-notice regime obliges a host to forward a copyright complaint to the customer, not to remove the content. That makes Toronto materially calmer than New York for the most common complaint type, without making it private — CSE operates under a foreign-intelligence mandate and Canada is a founding Five Eyes member. Good North American latency, mild copyright posture, no jurisdictional protection. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/canada ### Singapore — Asia-Pacific gateway Singapore is our Asia-Pacific site on SGIX and Equinix, at 1 ms locally and 155 ms to Frankfurt. It sits in no Eyes tier and the PDPA is a genuine data-protection statute, but POFMA lets the executive order corrections and removals of online statements. Take it for reach into Asia, not for editorial freedom. **Trade-off:** The best latency in Asia-Pacific and a state with a strong appetite for content regulation. Singapore is not in any Eyes tier and the PDPA is a real data-protection statute, but POFMA gives the executive direct power to order corrections and removals, and the Cybersecurity Act imposes binding duties on designated providers. Excellent for reaching Asian users, poor for publishing anything a government might dispute. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/singapore ### Japan — East Asia, constitutional secrecy Tokyo runs on JPIX and BBIX at 71 ms to Singapore and 168 ms to New York. Japan protects secrecy of communications constitutionally, imposes no general retention duty and joins no Eyes tier — the strongest legal position among our performance sites — but it cooperates readily through mutual legal assistance and has a defined claimant disclosure procedure. **Trade-off:** Legally the strongest of our performance sites and the most expensive. Japan protects secrecy of communications at constitutional level, has no general retention mandate, and is in no Eyes tier. What it does not give you is distance from a determined claimant: the Provider Liability Limitation Act sets out a working disclosure procedure, and Japan cooperates readily with Western law enforcement through mutual legal assistance. Also 224 ms from Frankfurt — this is a site for Asian users, not a European hedge. URL: https://incognitovps.com/servers/japan ### Australia — Oceania coverage Sydney covers Oceania on IX Australia at 94 ms to Singapore and 205 ms to New York. Legally it is near the bottom of our range: two-year mandatory metadata retention, Five Eyes founding membership, and powers under the 2018 Assistance and Access Act to compel provider assistance with encrypted communications. A latency choice only. **Trade-off:** Oceania coverage with the second-weakest legal posture on the network. Australia mandates two years of telecommunications metadata retention and, under the 2018 Assistance and Access Act, can compel providers to help access encrypted communications — a power with no equivalent in any of our privacy jurisdictions. It is a Five Eyes founding participant. Sydney exists because 94 ms to Singapore and local latency for Australian users cannot be bought anywhere else on this map.

Iceland’s constitutional speech protection combines with the IMMI source-protection framework, and hosting providers face no data-retention mandate. Outside EU enforcement structures, the country runs on 100% hydro and geothermal power. This is the strongest legal posture on our network, and priced accordingly. The trade-off is laid out in full on this page rather than hidden. ### Does Iceland have mandatory data retention? Hosting providers in Iceland are not subject to a general data-retention obligation. The relevant legal instrument is Act on Electronic Communications No. 70/2022, which limits retention duties to telecom operators (2022). ### Is Iceland in Five Eyes or the EU? Iceland has no documented participation in any Eyes intelligence-sharing tier. As a non-EU state, EU judicial-cooperation instruments do not reach it. ### What latency should I expect from Reykjavík? Measured round-trip latency: 41 ms to Frankfurt, 34 ms to London, 38 ms to Amsterdam, 51 ms to New York, and 197 ms to Singapore.

Romania stands alone in the EU: its constitutional court struck down mandatory data retention twice, in 2009 and again in 2014, and refused the replacement bill. That history, paired with EU-grade connectivity and the lowest cost per core in our EU footprint, creates a practical alternative for privacy-focused hosting. The trade-off is EU membership: European Investigation Orders can reach Bucharest. We state this openly on this page. ### Does Romania have mandatory data retention? Data-retention law was struck down as unconstitutional twice: Constitutional Court Decision 1258/2009 and Decision 440/2014. ### Is Romania in Five Eyes or the EU? Romania has no documented participation in any Eyes intelligence-sharing tier. As an EU member, it is subject to European Investigation Orders and DSA obligations. ### What latency should I expect from Bucharest? Round-trip latencies: 29 ms to Frankfurt, 41 ms to London, 33 ms to Amsterdam, 112 ms to New York, 148 ms to Singapore.

It suits price-sensitive European workloads, node hosting, Windows RDP, and GPU inference at EU latency. ### What is the catch with Romania?

It's the cheapest euro-adjacent capacity we operate and has a real anti-retention precedent.

Chișinău, Moldova, sits outside the EU legal perimeter: European Investigation Orders and DSA obligations do not reach it, and no bilateral copyright-enforcement treaty exists with the United States. Latency to Frankfurt measures 42 ms. There is no hosting-level retention mandate, and the trade-offs are stated plainly on this page. ### Does Moldova have mandatory data retention? Hosting providers in Moldova face no general data-retention mandate. The relevant instrument, Law No. 241/2007 on Electronic Communications, scopes retention duties to operators, not hosts. ### Is Moldova in Five Eyes or the EU? Moldova has no documented participation in any Eyes intelligence-sharing tier. It is not an EU member state, so EU judicial-cooperation instruments do not extend there. ### What latency should I expect from Chișinău? Measured round-trip times from Chișinău: 42 ms to Frankfurt, 54 ms to London, 46 ms to Amsterdam, 124 ms to New York, 152 ms to Singapore.

Panama's constitution shields communications from interference, no hosting-level retention statute exists, and most EU member states have no MLAT in force with Panama — foreign requests fall back to letters rogatory. But the US MLAT is current, so this is distance from Brussels, not Washington. The full trade-off appears on this page. ### Does Panama have mandatory data retention? There is no general data-retention statute that covers hosting providers. Law 51 of 2009 on electronic documents carries no retention mandate for hosts (2009). ### Is Panama in Five Eyes or the EU? Panama shows no documented participation in any Eyes intelligence-sharing tier, and as a non-EU member, EU judicial-cooperation instruments do not reach it. ### What latency should I expect from Panama City? Measured round-trip: 132 ms to Frankfurt, 128 ms to London, 130 ms to Amsterdam, 61 ms to New York, and 218 ms to Singapore.

Russia is outside all Western enforcement channels — Council of Europe cooperation ended in 2022, and neither DMCA nor DSA has force there. But Russian law applies fully, including mandatory SORM interception at the operator level. It suits workloads aimed only at Western adversaries, cis-region latency, and regional mirrors. ### What is the catch with Russia? We give you the honest version because it is the useful one: Russia replaces Western legal reach with Russian legal reach, including SORM obligations at the operator level. It fits a narrow threat model and fails a general one. Assume network-level monitoring and encrypt accordingly. ### Do you require identity verification in Russia? No. Token-only operation holds across all 16 sites: no name, email, phone, or ID is ever requested, and settlement is crypto-only. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

This page lays out that trade-off plainly. ### Does France have mandatory data retention? Hosting providers in France must retain connection data under the Code des postes et des communications électroniques, art. L.34-1, and Decree 2021-1362 (2021). ### Is France in Five Eyes or the EU? France is a Nine Eyes member and an EU member state, so European Investigation Orders and DSA obligations apply without friction. ### What latency should I expect from Paris?

London is on the map for its transit: it peers at LINX and LONAP, with 7 ms to Amsterdam and 71 ms to New York. Legally it is our weakest position. The UK is a founding Five Eyes member; the Investigatory Powers Act allows retention and technical capability notices, and RIPA Part III makes refusing a decryption key a criminal offence. We state this openly. ### Does United Kingdom have mandatory data retention? Under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, Part 4, retention notices can require operators to keep communications data for 12 months. ### Is United Kingdom in Five Eyes or the EU? The UK is a Five Eyes member and not an EU member state, so EU judicial-cooperation instruments do not apply. ### What latency should I expect from London? Measured round-trip times: 1 ms to London, 7 ms to Amsterdam, 14 ms to Frankfurt, 71 ms to New York, 168 ms to Singapore.

Prices run from $49.50/month at FRA-1 · Niederrad up to $1,285.00 for the biggest configuration. Every plan includes DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64, and full root access. ### Why choose Germany for this? Frankfurt connects via DE-CIX, the largest exchange point worldwide by peak traffic, with 1 ms local latency and 7 ms to Amsterdam. Germany has no enforceable general data retention due to the Constitutional Court's 2010 ruling and CJEU confirmation. The location suits peering-heavy workloads, European CDN origins, GPU training, and bulk transfers, all with EU latency. ### What is the catch with Germany? You get Europe's best network position and a mixed legal outlook. Germany lacks enforceable general retention—the Constitutional Court struck it down in 2010, and the CJEU agreed in 2022—and Art. 10 of the Grundgesetz guards telecommunications secrecy. However, Germany is a Fourteen Eyes member and part of EU judicial cooperation, so a European Investigation Order reaches Frankfurt directly.

There is no general federal law mandating data retention for hosting providers. Retention terms are contractual, not legal requirements, as of 2026. ### Is United States in Five Eyes or the EU? The United States is a member of the Five Eyes alliance and is not an EU member state, so EU judicial-cooperation instruments do not apply to it. ### What latency should I expect from New York? Round-trip latency measured: 1 ms to New York, 71 ms to London, 76 ms to Amsterdam, 84 ms to Frankfurt, and 214 ms to Singapore.

Canada imposes no general data-retention mandate on hosting providers. PIPEDA (2000) requires minimisation, not retention. ### Is Canada in Five Eyes or the EU? Canada is a founding Five Eyes member and not an EU member state, so EU judicial-cooperation instruments do not reach it. ### What latency should I expect from Toronto?

Canada has no general retention mandate and runs a notice-and-notice copyright regime — hosts forward complaints instead of removing content — which makes it calmer than the United States for routine notices. It remains a founding Five Eyes member, so treat it as a latency choice. **Trade-off:** A Five Eyes country with one genuinely useful property: the notice-and-notice regime obliges a host to forward a copyright complaint to the customer, not to remove the content. That makes Toronto materially calmer than New York for the most common complaint type, without making it private — CSE operates under a foreign-intelligence mandate and Canada is a founding Five Eyes member.

Pricing begins at $11.00 per month for the base configuration and rises to $66.00 for the most powerful option, all at YYZ-1 · Markham. Each plan includes DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64, and full root access. ### Why choose Canada for this? Toronto is on TorIX, giving 12 ms latency to New York and 79 ms to London. Canada has no general data retention mandate and follows a notice-and-notice copyright system—hosts forward complaints to customers rather than removing content—so it feels calmer than the US for typical notices. It's suited for North American latency outside the US, seedboxes with a mild copyright profile, and backup targets near US users. ### What is the catch with Canada? Canada is a Five Eyes member, but its notice-and-notice regime requires hosts to forward copyright complaints to the customer, not to remove content. That makes Toronto noticeably calmer than New York for common complaints, without offering true privacy—CSE operates under a foreign-intelligence mandate, and Canada is a founding Five Eyes member. You get good North American latency, a mild copyright posture, but no jurisdictional protection. ### Do you require identity verification in Canada?

Every plan includes DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64, and full root access. ### Why choose Canada for this? This location is suited to North American traffic that prefers to avoid the US, seedboxes needing a mild copyright profile, and backup targets for US users. Toronto connects via TorIX, reaching New York in 12 ms and London in 79 ms. Canada has no general data retention mandate and uses a notice-and-notice copyright system, so hosts forward complaints instead of removing content — less aggressive than the US for routine notices. ### What is the catch with Canada? Toronto is in a Five Eyes country, but the notice-and-notice regime changes the math: a host must forward a copyright complaint to the customer, not take content down. That makes it materially calmer than New York for the most frequent complaint type, yet it is not private. CSE operates under a foreign-intelligence mandate, and Canada is a founding Five Eyes member.

Tokyo's network is built on JPIX and BBIX, with 71 ms latency to Singapore and 168 ms to New York. Legally, Japan is the strongest of our performance sites: constitutional secrecy of communications, no general retention duty, and no Eyes tier. Yet it cooperates via mutual legal assistance and has a defined disclosure procedure under the Provider Liability Limitation Act. The trade-offs are fully disclosed here, not hidden. ### Does Japan have mandatory data retention? Japan does not impose a general data-retention duty on hosting providers. The Telecommunications Business Act (1984) requires secrecy of communications, not retention. ### Is Japan in Five Eyes or the EU? Japan is not documented as a participant in any Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance, and as a non-EU member, EU judicial-cooperation instruments do not apply. ### What latency should I expect from Tokyo? Measured round-trip latencies from Tokyo: 224 ms to Frankfurt, 232 ms to London, 228 ms to Amsterdam, 168 ms to New York, and 71 ms to Singapore.

The cheapest dedicated server in Australia is $65.00 per month at SYD-1 · Alexandria; the largest configuration reaches $1,678.00. DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64, and full root access are included. ### Why choose Australia for this? Sydney connects Oceania through IX Australia, with 94 ms to Singapore and 205 ms to New York. On legal grounds, it sits near the bottom of our range: Australia enforces two-year metadata retention, is a Five Eyes founder, and under the 2018 Assistance and Access Act can compel provider assistance with encrypted communications. This suits Australian and New Zealand latency needs, Oceania game servers, and regional backups. ### What is the catch with Australia? Sydney is the second-weakest legal location on our network. Australia mandates two years of metadata retention and, under the 2018 Assistance and Access Act, can compel providers to assist with encrypted communications — a power no privacy jurisdiction we offer matches. It is a Five Eyes founding member. Yet Sydney is the only way to get 94 ms to Singapore and low latency for Australian users, so it remains a purely latency-driven choice. ### Do you require identity verification in Australia?

Incognito VPS issues a 20-character access token at checkout, accepts payment in twelve cryptocurrencies, and stores no customer identity field at all — there is nothing in the database to disclose. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/no-kyc-hosting **Updated:** 2026-07-28 ## What KYC normally collects, and why it exists Know Your Customer rules originate in anti-money-laundering law and apply to regulated financial institutions. Hosting providers are not financial institutions, and in none of our eight jurisdictions is a hosting company legally required to verify who its customers are. The verification you encounter at most hosts is not compliance — it is fraud control, imported wholesale from the card networks. That distinction matters, because it explains the shape of the problem. When a provider accepts Visa, the card networks impose chargeback liability, and the cheapest defence against chargeback fraud is collecting enough identity to make the customer traceable. Remove the card rail and the entire justification collapses. A payment that settles on-chain cannot be reversed, so there is nothing to defend against and no reason to ask. ## What a no-identity account actually looks like At checkout you receive a token in the form `IVPS-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX`. That token is the account. It is generated client-side from a CSPRNG, shown once, and stored on our side only as an Argon2id hash — we cannot reproduce it, email it to you, or recover it if you lose it. There is no password-reset flow because there is no second factor to reset against. The account record contains a token hash, a balance in USD cents, a list of server IDs and a creation timestamp. It contains no name field, no email field, no phone field, no billing address and no IP history. This is not a policy choice that could be reversed under pressure; the columns do not exist in the schema. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Fields stored | token hash, balance, server IDs, created-at | | Fields not stored | name, email, phone, address, payment identity | | Token entropy | 80 bits, CSPRNG-generated client-side | | Hash | Argon2id, m=64 MiB, t=3, p=4 | | Recovery path | none — by design | ## The honest limits of no-KYC No-KYC removes the identity layer at the provider. It does not make you anonymous, and any host telling you otherwise is selling you something. Your server has a public IP address that you will connect to. If you SSH to it from your home connection, your ISP sees that association, and so does anyone with a view of the path. Nor does it place you outside the law. We operate real companies in real countries and we comply with valid legal orders from the jurisdictions we operate in. What no-KYC changes is the volume of information such an order can produce: an order served on us for customer identity returns an Argon2id hash and a balance, because that is the entirety of what exists. For actual anonymity you need to combine this with a transport layer — Tor or a VPN you trust — and operational discipline about what you put on the server. We wrote a guide on exactly that, and it is more useful than any feature on this page. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you require an email address? No. There is no email field at signup, at checkout or in the account record. Your access token is issued at checkout and shown once. If you want notifications you can optionally supply a webhook URL, which is stored encrypted and is never used for identity. ### What happens if I lose my access token? The account becomes permanently unreachable and the servers under it run until the paid term expires, then terminate. We cannot recover it because we store only an Argon2id hash. Write the token down at checkout — that warning appears three times during the flow for this reason. ### Is no-KYC hosting legal? Yes. Hosting providers are not regulated financial institutions and no jurisdiction we operate in requires customer identity verification for server rental. Our acceptable-use policy still applies and still prohibits illegal content — no-KYC removes the identity layer, not the law. ### Can you be compelled to reveal who I am? A valid order can compel us to disclose what we hold. What we hold is a token hash, a USD balance, a list of server IDs and a creation timestamp. There is no name, email or payment identity in the record because those columns do not exist in the schema. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS issues a token instead of an account, settles payment on-chain in twelve coins including Monero, keeps no connection or DNS logs, and never records a name, email or address. Plans start at $4.00/month. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/anonymous-vps **Updated:** 2026-08-04 ## Anonymity is a chain, and the host is one link Most pages selling "anonymous VPS" describe only the payment step, because the payment step is the easy one. The realistic model has four links: how you pay, what the provider records, how you reach the server, and what the server itself leaks. Break any link and the chain is decorative. We control two of those links completely and can tell you exactly what we do with them. The other two are yours, and the useful thing we can do is be precise about where the boundary sits. - Payment — on-chain settlement, no card rail, no processor holding your identity. Monero settles with no public ledger trail at all. - Provider records — token hash and balance. No name, email, phone, address or connection log. - Transport — yours. Connect over Tor or a VPN you trust, or your ISP sees the association. - Workload — yours. A server that emails your real address, or runs software phoning home with a licence key, undoes everything above. ## Why Monero is the meaningful option Bitcoin is a public ledger. A payment from an exchange-withdrawn address to our address is permanently visible, and chain-analysis firms sell exactly that correlation to anyone who asks. It is better than a credit card, but it is not private — it is pseudonymous, which is a different thing. Monero uses ring signatures, stealth addresses and confidential transactions, so amounts and participants are not visible on the ledger. For a threat model that includes chain analysis, that is the difference between a private payment and a payment that merely feels private. It settles in about twenty minutes and it is the coin we recommend. ## What runs on the machine Every VPS is a full KVM virtual machine, not a container. You get your own kernel, your own `/dev`, loadable modules, WireGuard, nested virtualisation on request, and a serial console that works when networking does not. You can boot a custom ISO over virtual media and install a hardened image we have never seen. Storage is NVMe Gen4 on AMD EPYC 9354P hosts. If you want the disk encrypted before the operating system exists, choose LUKS at provision and enter the passphrase over the console at first boot. The key never touches our infrastructure. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is an anonymous VPS really anonymous? The hosting layer is: we hold no identity data. Full anonymity also depends on how you reach the server and what you run on it. Connect over Tor or a trusted VPN and avoid software that phones home with identifying credentials. ### Which cryptocurrency is most private? Monero. Ring signatures, stealth addresses and confidential transactions hide sender, receiver and amount on the ledger. Bitcoin is pseudonymous, not private — chain analysis routinely links exchange withdrawals to downstream payments. ### Do you log my SSH connections? No. We keep no connection, traffic or DNS logs on the hypervisor or the network. Hypervisor metadata retained for billing is the server ID, plan and term — nothing about traffic. What your own guest OS logs is under your control. ### How fast is deployment? The median is 55 seconds from confirmed payment to a booted VPS with an IP. Monero confirms in roughly twenty minutes and Bitcoin in ten to sixty depending on fee; provisioning itself starts the moment the payment confirms. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS operates in eight: Iceland, Switzerland, Panama, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, the Netherlands and Russia. Each location page publishes the statutes and court decisions that back its claims, so you can verify them. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/offshore-hosting **Updated:** 2026-08-01 ## Offshore is a legal decision, not a marketing adjective The word "offshore" is used so loosely in hosting that it has almost stopped meaning anything. A provider will call a Frankfurt rack offshore because the company is registered in Belize. That is not how enforcement works. What matters is where the hardware physically sits, because that is the jurisdiction whose police can walk into the building. The second thing that matters is which cooperation instruments bind that jurisdiction. An EU member state is reachable by a European Investigation Order, which is fast and near-automatic between member states. A non-EU state falls back to mutual legal assistance or letters rogatory, which take months and can be refused. That difference is the entire product. ## How to actually choose Start from the adversary, not from the marketing. If your concern is a US copyright claimant, any non-US jurisdiction without a bilateral IP-enforcement treaty already solves it, and you should optimise for latency and price instead — Bulgaria or Moldova. If your concern is a European regulator, you want distance from EU judicial cooperation: Panama, Iceland or Switzerland. If it is a commercial competitor filing civil claims, Switzerland’s dual-criminality requirement is the strongest filter available. And if your concern is a state actor with signals-intelligence capability, no hosting jurisdiction solves that. Encryption and operational discipline solve it, and the jurisdiction choice is a second-order decision. We would rather say that than sell you Iceland. ## What we publish for each location Every location page carries a legal dossier: the specific statute or court decision behind each claim, with its year, so you can look it up. Where a jurisdiction has a weakness, the page says so in a section headed "the trade-off" — the Netherlands page states plainly that the country participates in Nine Eyes, and the Russia page states plainly that SORM interception is mandatory. This is unusual, and we do it for a self-interested reason as well as an honest one: a claim you can verify is worth more than a claim you cannot, both to you and to anything that indexes this page. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which offshore jurisdiction is strongest? Iceland for speech-related work, thanks to constitutional protection plus the IMMI source-protection framework and no hosting retention mandate. Switzerland is strongest for regulatory defensibility because foreign requests need mutual legal assistance with dual-criminality review. ### Does offshore hosting put me outside the law? No. It changes which law applies and how quickly a foreign party can reach it. We comply with valid orders from the jurisdictions we operate in, and our acceptable-use policy prohibits illegal content everywhere. ### Is offshore hosting slower? It depends on the location, not on the concept. Amsterdam is 7 ms from Frankfurt and Zürich is 8 ms. Panama is 130 ms from Europe because of physics. Every location page publishes measured latency from five sources. ### Can I run servers in more than one jurisdiction? Yes, and for redundancy you should. One token can hold servers in all eight locations simultaneously, and encrypted snapshots can be stored in a different jurisdiction from the server they belong to. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS accepts twelve coins — BTC, XMR, ETH, USDT, USDC, LTC, TRX, SOL, BNB, DOGE, TON and DAI — settled on-chain through OxaPay. There is no fiat rail, no card on file and no billing identity. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/crypto-vps-hosting **Updated:** 2026-08-06 ## Removing the card rail removes the identity requirement Card payments carry chargeback risk, and chargeback risk is why hosting providers ask who you are. The moment settlement is final and on-chain, the fraud model that justified identity collection disappears. Crypto-only is not a stylistic preference here; it is the mechanism that makes token-only accounts possible. It also removes a third party. A card payment means an acquirer, an issuer and a processor each holding a record linking you to us. An on-chain payment means a transaction between two addresses. ## How checkout works Choose a plan, a location and a term. We create an invoice through OxaPay and show you an address and an amount, with the rate locked for ninety minutes. Send the payment. The first confirmation moves the order to "confirming"; final confirmation triggers provisioning automatically. You receive your access token on the confirmation screen. Underpayments within 2% are accepted automatically, which absorbs wallet fee rounding. Overpayments are credited to your balance. If an invoice expires unpaid, nothing happens — there is no account to leave in a bad state. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Coins accepted | 12 chains | | Rate lock | 90 minutes | | Underpayment tolerance | 2% | | Overpayment | credited to balance | | Median time to server | 55 seconds after confirmation | ## Balance top-ups for repeat buyers If you run more than one server, paying per invoice gets tedious and leaks more chain activity than necessary. Top up your token balance once and deploy from credit afterwards: one on-chain transaction covers many deployments, and each subsequent server is instant because there is no confirmation to wait for. Balance is denominated in USD at the rate at the moment of top-up, so a later price move in the coin you paid with does not change what you have. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which coins do you accept? Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum, Tether, USD Coin, Litecoin, TRON, Solana, BNB, Dogecoin, Toncoin and Dai. USDT settles on ERC-20, TRC-20 or BEP-20; USDC on ERC-20, Base or Solana. ### Do you accept credit cards or PayPal? No, and we do not plan to. A card rail would reintroduce chargeback liability, which would force identity collection, which would defeat the product. Crypto-only is a structural decision. ### What if the price moves while I am paying? The rate is locked for ninety minutes from invoice creation. Pay within that window and the quoted amount is what settles regardless of market movement. After expiry, generate a fresh invoice. ### What if I underpay slightly? Shortfalls within 2% are accepted automatically to absorb wallet fee rounding. Larger shortfalls are credited to your balance and the invoice stays open so you can top it up. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS settles XMR natively rather than converting through a gateway, so no third party sees a fiat-linked record of the payment. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/monero-hosting **Updated:** 2026-07-19 ## Why Monero and not Bitcoin Bitcoin’s ledger is public and permanent. If you withdraw from an exchange that knows your identity and then pay a hosting provider, that link exists forever and is trivially discoverable — chain-analysis firms sell exactly this as a product. Coin mixing helps and is increasingly treated as suspicious in itself. Monero solves the problem at the protocol level rather than as an add-on. Ring signatures obscure which input was actually spent, stealth addresses mean the receiving address never appears on-chain, and RingCT hides the amount. There is no optional privacy mode to forget to enable. ## Native settlement, not gateway conversion Several providers advertising Monero actually route it through a conversion service that swaps XMR to fiat or a stablecoin, and those services frequently require verification. The privacy property you paid for evaporates at the conversion step. We settle XMR as XMR. There is no swap, no conversion counterparty and no verification step behind the scenes. ## Practical notes Monero confirms in roughly twenty minutes for the ten confirmations we require. Send from a wallet you control — Feather, Cake or the official GUI — rather than directly from an exchange, since exchange withdrawals defeat much of the point and some exchanges flag hosting addresses. If you deploy servers regularly, top up your balance in a single XMR transaction and deploy from credit afterwards. Fewer transactions means less to correlate. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you convert Monero to another currency? No. XMR is settled natively. Providers that route Monero through a swap service reintroduce a verification counterparty and undo the privacy property. ### How long does an XMR payment take? About twenty minutes. We require ten confirmations, and Monero blocks arrive roughly every two minutes. Provisioning starts automatically at the tenth. ### Can I pay from an exchange account? Technically yes, but it is a poor idea. An exchange withdrawal ties a KYC-verified identity to the transaction at the source, and some exchanges restrict withdrawals to hosting-associated addresses. Use a wallet you control. ### Is paying with Monero legal? Yes in every jurisdiction we operate in.

Incognito VPS accepts on-chain Bitcoin with a ninety-minute rate lock and provisions automatically on confirmation. Bitcoin is pseudonymous rather than private: the ledger is public, so use Monero if your threat model includes chain analysis. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/bitcoin-hosting **Updated:** 2026-06-30 ## What Bitcoin gives you here Paying in Bitcoin removes the card networks, the processor and the billing identity they require. That alone is a substantial improvement over a card, and for most people it is the practical difference between having a hosting account attached to their legal name and not having one. It also settles finally. There is no chargeback mechanism, which is precisely why we can operate without knowing who you are. ## What Bitcoin does not give you The ledger is public and permanent. A payment from an address that can be linked to you — an exchange withdrawal, a reused address, a payment that touched a KYC service — is a durable record connecting you to us. We think it is worth stating this plainly on a page that is trying to sell you Bitcoin hosting. If that matters for your threat model, use Monero. If it does not, Bitcoin is fine and the rest of this page applies. ## Fees and confirmation On-chain Bitcoin confirmation ranges from about ten minutes to an hour depending on the fee you set and mempool conditions. We require two confirmations for amounts under $200 and three above it. During congestion, a low-fee transaction can sit unconfirmed past the ninety-minute rate lock; if that happens the payment is credited to your balance at the confirmed rate rather than lost. For smaller orders, Lightning avoids the wait entirely and settles in seconds with negligible fees. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you support Lightning? Yes, for invoices under $500. Lightning settles in seconds with minimal fees and avoids on-chain confirmation delay entirely. Larger amounts route on-chain for reliability. ### How many confirmations do you require? Two for orders under $200, three above. At typical block times that is twenty to thirty minutes. Provisioning starts automatically once the threshold is met. ### Is Bitcoin anonymous? No — it is pseudonymous. Every transaction is permanently public and chain analysis routinely links addresses to identities via exchange withdrawals. Monero is the private option and we recommend it where privacy is the goal. ### What if my transaction stays unconfirmed past the rate lock? It is credited to your account balance at the rate that applied when it confirmed, rather than being lost. You can then deploy from balance immediately. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

None of Incognito VPS’s eight jurisdictions is bound by it. Local copyright law still applies everywhere, and our acceptable-use policy prohibits infringing content regardless of jurisdiction. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/dmca-resistant-hosting **Updated:** 2026-07-22 ## What the DMCA actually is The DMCA is a United States statute. Its §512 safe harbour gives US service providers immunity from copyright liability if they remove material on receipt of a compliant notice. It is a domestic law with domestic effect: it does not create obligations for a company in Reykjavík or Chișinău, and a notice sent to one has the legal weight of a strongly worded letter. This is why the phrase "DMCA ignored" circulates in offshore hosting. It is technically accurate and rhetorically misleading, because it implies a general immunity from copyright law that does not exist anywhere. ## What still applies Every jurisdiction we operate in has its own copyright law. Iceland, Switzerland, Panama, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, the Netherlands and Russia all provide remedies to rights-holders through their own courts. The difference is procedural, not substantive: instead of an automated notice that triggers removal within hours, a claimant must bring a claim in the local jurisdiction, in the local language, under local rules. Our acceptable-use policy prohibits distributing content you do not have the right to distribute. We enforce that policy. What we do not do is action unverified automated notices from third-party enforcement agencies that have no legal standing where our servers are. ## How we handle notices in practice Every notice we receive at `abuse@incognitovps.com` is read by a person. Notices that identify a specific work, a specific URL, and a claimant with standing under the law of the jurisdiction the server is in are forwarded to the customer with a response window. Notices that are automated volume filings referencing US statute at a non-US server receive a reply pointing at the applicable jurisdiction. We publish counts of both categories in our quarterly transparency report, along with how many resulted in customer action and how many resulted in suspension. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you ignore DMCA notices? We read every notice. The DMCA itself has no legal force at our locations, so we do not action it as a statutory obligation. Notices identifying a real infringement under applicable local law are forwarded to the customer and enforced under our AUP. ### Can I host copyrighted material I do not own? No. Our acceptable-use policy prohibits it in all eight jurisdictions and we enforce it. Jurisdiction changes which court hears a claim; it does not make infringement lawful. ### Which location is most resistant to copyright claims? Moldova and Russia have no bilateral copyright-enforcement treaty with the United States and no EU judicial-cooperation obligations. Both location pages set out the applicable statutes and the trade-offs in full. ### Will you tell me if you receive a notice about my server? Yes, unless a valid legal order in that jurisdiction prohibits it. You get the full notice text and a response window before any action is taken. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS is not a bulletproof host. We are a privacy host: no identity requirement, but an enforced acceptable-use policy that prohibits criminal use. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/bulletproof-hosting **Updated:** 2026-07-11 ## The term means something specific "Bulletproof hosting" is not a synonym for offshore or privacy-focused hosting, although it is often used as one by people who have not looked it up. In security research the term describes providers who market resistance to abuse complaints as their core product, and whose customer base is consequently dominated by botnet controllers, phishing infrastructure, ransomware panels and bulk spam. These operations exist. They are also, empirically, terrible products. Their address space is blocklisted comprehensively, which means legitimate traffic from those ranges is rejected by mail providers and CDNs. They are periodically seized outright, taking every customer down. And they attract exactly the kind of attention that makes a jurisdiction pass the laws everyone else then has to live with. ## What we do instead, and why it is better for you We do not ask who you are. We do enforce what the servers are used for. Those two positions are entirely compatible, and holding both is what makes the service usable. The practical benefit is address reputation. Our IPv4 pool is checked against more than sixty real-time blocklists at allocation and re-checked every six hours. If your address is listed for traffic that is not yours, we replace it the same day at no charge. That guarantee is only possible because we remove the customers generating the listings. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Identity required | None | | Abuse policy | Published and enforced | | Blocklist monitoring | 60+ RBLs, every 6 hours | | Clean-IP replacement | Same day, free | | Prohibited | Malware C2, phishing, spam, CSAM, intrusion | ## What we prohibit, in plain terms Child sexual abuse material. Malware command-and-control, exploit kits and ransomware infrastructure. Phishing and credential harvesting. Bulk unsolicited email. Attacks against third-party systems, including scanning and DDoS. Content that is criminal in the jurisdiction the server sits in. Reports of these go to `abuse@incognitovps.com` and are actioned. CSAM and active attack infrastructure are suspended immediately without notice; everything else gets a notice and a response window. If you are looking for a provider that will not do this, we are not that provider, and the pages you actually want are not indexed anywhere you would find them. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Incognito VPS a bulletproof host? No. We provide no-KYC privacy hosting with an enforced acceptable-use policy. Malware, phishing, spam and criminal content are prohibited and removed. Not asking who you are is a different thing from not caring what you do. ### Why do you rank for this term if you are not one? Because most people searching it want offshore privacy hosting and have picked up the wrong vocabulary, and the honest answer is more useful than no answer. Roughly nine in ten people asking this question want what is on this site. ### What happens if someone reports my server? A person reads the report. CSAM and active attack infrastructure are suspended immediately. Everything else receives the full report text and a response window, typically 72 hours, before any action. ### Do you monitor what runs on my server? No. We do not inspect traffic, scan disks or log connections. Enforcement is reactive — driven by third-party reports and blocklist signals from our own address space, never by inspecting customer workloads. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS keeps no NetFlow, no packet capture, no DNS query logs and no customer IP history. Hypervisor records are limited to server ID, plan, location and billing term. The full field list is published below. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/no-logs-hosting **Updated:** 2026-08-02 ## Everything we store, listed "No logs" is an unfalsifiable claim when a provider states it and stops. So here is the schema instead. If a field is not on this list, it is not in the database. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Account record | token hash (Argon2id), USD balance, created-at | | Server record | server ID, plan SKU, location, term start/end, OS image | | Payment record | invoice ID, amount, coin, confirmed-at | | Network | aggregate per-port bandwidth counters, 5-minute buckets | | Console | nothing — VNC sessions are not recorded | | DNS | nothing — resolvers run without query logging | | NetFlow / sFlow | not enabled on any edge or aggregation device | | Customer IP history | not recorded at any layer | ## Why aggregate counters still exist Per-port bandwidth counters in five-minute buckets are how we bill metered plans and detect a link saturating. They contain a byte count and a timestamp per virtual interface. They contain no addresses, no ports and no payload, so they cannot reconstruct who talked to what. We are explicit about this because a provider claiming literally zero telemetry is either lying or unable to run a network. The useful claim is not "we record nothing"; it is "here is exactly what we record, and here is why it cannot identify you". ## What you can verify Our warrant canary is signed with the key at `/pgp` and rotated on the first business day of each quarter, with the current Bitcoin block hash embedded to prove it was signed after that date. A missing or stale canary is meaningful. The quarterly transparency report publishes the number of legal requests received by jurisdiction, how many produced any data, and what that data consisted of. So far the answer to the last question has consistently been a token hash and a balance, because that is all there is. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you keep any logs at all? Aggregate per-port bandwidth counters in five-minute buckets, for billing and capacity. They hold a byte count and a timestamp — no addresses, ports or payload. No NetFlow, packet capture, DNS query logs or customer IP history exists. ### What about the logs my own server writes? Those are yours, inside your VM, and we do not read them. If you want them gone, configure your syslog accordingly — sshd authentication logging is on by default in most distributions and records every connecting address. ### How can I verify the no-logs claim? You cannot verify it absolutely — nobody can, at any provider. What you can check is the signed quarterly warrant canary, the transparency report, and whether the published field list matches what legal requests actually produce. ### Do you log VNC or console sessions? No. Console access is proxied, not recorded. There is no session capture, no keystroke logging and no screenshot retention at any point. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS stores no identity fields, settles payment on-chain, offers LUKS2 encryption keyed at first boot, and publishes the complete list of database fields it retains. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/privacy-hosting **Updated:** 2026-07-25 ## Policy privacy versus architectural privacy A privacy policy is a statement of intent that can be revised, and is revised, whenever business or legal circumstances change. It protects you exactly as long as the company finds it convenient. Architecture is different: a field that does not exist cannot be disclosed, revised into existence retroactively, or leaked in a breach. Everything below is an architectural choice, which is why we can describe it as a schema rather than a promise. - No identity columns exist in the account table — not nullable, absent. - Access tokens are stored as Argon2id hashes; we cannot reproduce yours. - Payment settles on-chain with no processor holding a fiat-linked record. - LUKS2 passphrases are entered over console at first boot and never transit our systems. - Resolvers run without query logging; no NetFlow anywhere on the edge. - Snapshots are encrypted client-side with your key before leaving the host. ## Where the boundary sits We can control what we store and what our network observes. We cannot control your transport, your workload, or what your own software reports to third parties. A privacy-hosted server that runs an application phoning home with a licence key tied to your name is not private, and no hosting feature fixes that. The honest framing is that we remove one entire category of exposure — the provider — and leave you responsible for the rest. Anyone claiming to solve the rest is selling. ## Frequently asked questions ### How is this different from a provider with a good privacy policy? A policy is revisable and only binds while it is convenient. An absent database column is not revisable retroactively. We publish the field list so the difference is checkable rather than rhetorical. ### Can you read my disk? On an unencrypted VPS, a hypervisor operator technically can — that is true of every virtualisation provider on earth. Choose LUKS2 at provision and enter the passphrase over console at first boot, and the answer becomes no. ### Do you use third-party analytics on this website? None. No Google Analytics, no tag manager, no third-party fonts, no CDN outside our own network, no cookies except a session cookie during checkout. The site makes zero third-party requests. ### What is stored when I visit this site? Nothing persistent. No cookie is set until you start a checkout, and that cookie holds only a cart identifier.

Incognito VPS allocates fresh IPv4 addresses verified against public block feeds, in eight jurisdictions outside the reach of the filtering states, from $4.00 per month. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/censorship-resistant-hosting **Updated:** 2026-08-05 ## Why a personal endpoint beats a commercial VPN Commercial VPN endpoints are enumerable. Their address ranges are published, shared among thousands of users, and consequently blocked in bulk by any filtering system that cares. A single-user endpoint on an address nobody else uses does not appear on those lists, because there is no pattern to detect. The trade-off is real and worth stating: a personal endpoint has an anonymity set of one. If your adversary can already see that you rented a server, a personal endpoint tells them more than a shared VPN would. It defeats blocking, not observation. ## Protocols that currently survive deep packet inspection The landscape moves, so treat this as a snapshot rather than a permanent ranking. As of mid-2026, VLESS with REALITY is the most durable option against active-probing systems: it borrows a real TLS handshake from a genuine third-party site, so a prober sees an ordinary connection to that site rather than a proxy. Hysteria2 runs over QUIC with aggressive congestion control and performs well on lossy or deliberately throttled links. Shadowsocks-2022 fixed the AEAD weaknesses that made earlier versions detectable. MTProto remains useful specifically for Telegram in networks where Telegram alone is blocked. - VLESS + REALITY — strongest against active probing; Xray-core or 3x-ui. - Hysteria2 — QUIC-based, best throughput on throttled or lossy links. - Shadowsocks-2022 — mature, lightweight, wide client support. - V2Ray VMess over WebSocket + TLS — survives behind a CDN front. - MTProto (mtg) — Telegram-specific, fake-TLS transport. - AmneziaWG — WireGuard with obfuscated handshake for WG-blocking networks. ## Address hygiene matters more than the protocol A fresh address will eventually be detected and blocked if a filtering system is actively looking. When that happens the protocol is not the fix; the address is. Every plan includes free address rotation when an address becomes unreachable from a filtered region, and there is no limit on how often you can ask. Our recommendation for a filtered network is the SCOUT plan at $4.00/month in Moldova or Bulgaria — the cheapest usable endpoint we sell, and both locations sit outside the political reach of the states running the filtering. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which protocol works best in China? VLESS with REALITY, currently. It presents a genuine TLS handshake borrowed from a real third-party site, so active probing sees an ordinary connection. Keep a Hysteria2 endpoint as a fallback — the landscape changes. ### Will my IP get blocked? Eventually, if a filtering system is actively looking for it. Address rotation is free and unlimited on every plan. Rotation is a maintenance task in this use case, not a failure. ### Which location should I choose? For China, Moldova or the Netherlands give the best routing. For Iran, Bulgaria or Romania. For Russia, Moldova. Latency to the filtered region matters more than legal posture for this use case. ### Is running a proxy legal? In our jurisdictions, yes — operating a proxy server is lawful in all eight. The law of the country you are connecting from is a separate question and one you should look into yourself. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Only the Netherlands participates, at the Nine Eyes level. Alliance membership affects intelligence sharing, not commercial hosting requests, which travel through mutual legal assistance. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/five-eyes-free-hosting **Updated:** 2026-07-08 ## What the alliances are Five Eyes is a signals-intelligence agreement between the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, originating in the 1946 UKUSA Agreement. Nine Eyes adds Denmark, France, the Netherlands and Norway. Fourteen Eyes — formally SIGINT Seniors Europe — adds Germany, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Sweden. They govern the exchange of intercepted signals intelligence between agencies. They are not treaties about commercial data requests, and this is where most hosting marketing gets it wrong. ## The honest version of what this buys you A police request for your customer record does not travel through a signals-intelligence alliance. It travels through mutual legal assistance, or a European Investigation Order inside the EU, or a domestic warrant. Choosing a non-Eyes country does not slow that down at all if the country is otherwise cooperative. What alliance membership does correlate with is bulk collection infrastructure and the informal habit of sharing. If your threat model includes traffic interception at the network layer rather than a formal request to your provider, non-membership genuinely matters. If your threat model is a civil claimant or a regulator, the mutual-legal-assistance picture on each location page matters far more, and the Eyes question is close to irrelevant. ## Our footprint against the tiers Iceland, Switzerland, Panama, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria and Russia have no documented participation in any tier. The Netherlands is a Nine Eyes participant, and we sell it anyway because it has the best peering in Europe by a wide margin and many workloads should optimise for that instead. We would rather tell you that than quietly leave the Netherlands off a page like this. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which of your locations are in Five Eyes? None. Five Eyes is the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and we operate in none of them. The Netherlands participates at the Nine Eyes level and is the only alliance member on our map. ### Does non-membership stop a police request? No. Commercial data requests travel through mutual legal assistance or domestic warrants, not intelligence alliances. Alliance membership correlates with bulk interception, which is a different threat. ### Why do you still sell the Netherlands? Because AMS-IX peering with 1,100+ direct adjacencies and 25 Gbps uplinks is the best network on our map, and plenty of workloads should optimise for that. The location page states the Nine Eyes participation explicitly. ### Which location is furthest from all of them? Panama, geographically and legally — no alliance participation and no MLAT in force with most EU states. Note the existing US MLAT: it is distance from Brussels rather than from Washington. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS racks bare metal in eight countries with out-of-band IPMI, custom ISO boot and LUKS2 full-disk encryption keyed at first boot, from $46 to $1,725 per month. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/offshore-dedicated-servers **Updated:** 2026-07-30 ## What bare metal buys over a VPS No hypervisor. Nobody else on the CPU, nobody else on the disk, and no noisy-neighbour variance in your p99. For anything with a latency budget — a database primary, a chain node keeping up with the tip, a trading process — this is the difference between predictable and mostly predictable. It also changes the security picture in a way that matters for this audience. On a VPS, the hypervisor operator can in principle read guest memory. On bare metal with LUKS2 keyed at first boot over the console, there is no such interface, and an operator with physical access to a running machine still faces a cold-boot attack rather than a memory read. ## Provisioning and control Every dedicated server includes out-of-band IPMI with HTML5 KVM and serial-over-LAN, reachable when the operating system is not. You can mount an ISO over virtual media and install anything, including an image you built yourself and we have never seen. Delivery is 15 to 90 minutes depending on configuration and location. Stock machines in Amsterdam, Bucharest and Sofia are usually racked and burned in already; the dual-socket CITADEL-X is built to order. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Range | Xeon E-2224 → 2 × EPYC 9654 (192c/384t) | | Memory | 32 GB DDR4 ECC → 768 GB DDR5 ECC | | Storage | 2 × 512 GB NVMe → 8 × 7.68 TB NVMe Gen4 | | Uplink | 1 Gbps → 25 Gbps unmetered | | Out-of-band | IPMI + HTML5 KVM + SOL, included | | Encryption | LUKS2 keyed at first boot, included | ## Choosing a location for bare metal Bulgaria and Moldova give the best price per core. Amsterdam gives the best network if you are moving serious volume. Iceland gives the strongest legal posture and runs on geothermal and hydro power, which matters if you are running something power-hungry for years. Switzerland is the choice when you need an address that survives a compliance conversation, and Panama when you need distance from European enforcement specifically. ## Frequently asked questions ### How long does delivery take? 15 to 90 minutes depending on configuration. Stock machines in Amsterdam, Bucharest and Sofia are pre-racked and burned in. Dual-socket builds and unusual disk configurations are assembled to order. ### Can I install my own ISO? Yes, at no charge on every plan. Mount any ISO over virtual media through IPMI and install what you like, including a hardened image you built yourself. ### Do you have access to my encrypted disk? No. With LUKS2 at provision you enter the passphrase over the out-of-band console at first boot. The key never transits our systems and is not recoverable by us — if you lose it, the data is gone. ### Is bandwidth really unmetered? On CITADEL-X, yes — 25 Gbps unmetered. Other plans carry generous monthly allowances from 30 to 150 TB. Overage is billed at $0.85/TB rather than the port being throttled or cut. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS offers RTX 4090, RTX 5090, A100 80GB and H100 SXM5 in four jurisdictions with CUDA 13 and PyTorch preinstalled, paid in twelve cryptocurrencies, from $119 per month with no minimum commitment. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/gpu-hosting-no-kyc **Updated:** 2026-08-07 ## Why identity-free GPU access is hard to find Every large GPU cloud requires corporate verification, and increasingly a stated use case. The reasons are partly export control, partly credit risk on hardware that costs as much as a car, and partly the reputational calculus of large providers about what people train. We solve the credit-risk half by taking payment up front and on-chain. There is nothing to underwrite when the money has already settled, and no invoice to chase. ## What is on the machines Ubuntu 24.04 with driver 570.x, CUDA 13.0, cuDNN 9, PyTorch 2.6 and JupyterLab, preinstalled and ready. SSH and Jupyter are reachable within about sixty seconds of provisioning. If you would rather start from nothing, choose the bare image and install your own stack. Transfer is unmetered on every GPU plan, which matters more than people expect — pulling a 400 GB dataset and pushing checkpoints back can dominate the bill on a metered provider. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | RTX 4090 · 24 GB | $119/mo · 165 TFLOPS FP16 | | RTX 5090 · 32 GB | $189/mo · 210 TFLOPS FP16 | | A100 SXM4 · 80 GB | $499/mo · 312 TFLOPS FP16 | | H100 SXM5 · 80 GB | $899/mo · 989 TFLOPS FP16 | | 4 × H100 SXM5 · 320 GB | $3,290/mo · NVLink | ## Iceland for long training runs Iceland is our recommendation for anything running for weeks. Power is entirely geothermal and hydroelectric, ambient cooling is free most of the year, and the legal posture is the strongest on the network. The price index is higher, but for a multi-week run the numbers work out in its favour more often than not. For inference where users are in Europe, Amsterdam is the right answer — 7 ms to Frankfurt and 25 Gbps of uplink. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you ask what I am training? No. There is no use-case form and no application review. Our acceptable-use policy applies to what you distribute from the server, not to what you compute on it. ### Is the GPU dedicated or shared? Dedicated and passed through. The physical card is yours for the term with no time-slicing or MIG partitioning, so you get the full VRAM and full throughput. ### Can I rent by the hour? No — monthly terms only. Hourly billing requires a credit relationship, and a credit relationship requires knowing who you are. That is the trade we made.

Incognito VPS deploys Windows Server 2025, 2022 or Windows 11 Pro on Core i9 and Ryzen 9 hosts in five jurisdictions, licence included, in about sixty seconds. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/no-kyc-rdp **Updated:** 2026-07-16 ## Full administrator, not a restricted session You get the built-in Administrator account, not a limited user in a shared terminal-server session. Install what you want, change the registry, open ports, add roles, disable Defender if that is what your work requires. It is your machine for the term. The licence is included in the price. There is no separate CAL to buy and no Microsoft account to attach, which is usually the step that reintroduces identity everywhere else. ## Hardware chosen for how RDP actually feels Windows desktop responsiveness is dominated by single-thread performance, not core count. We put the RDP line on Core i9-13900K and Ryzen 9 7950X hosts — desktop-class silicon with very high boost clocks — rather than the server EPYCs that run the Linux fleet. A 5.7 GHz boost makes the session feel like a local machine in a way that a 2.4 GHz server core does not. Storage is NVMe Gen4 throughout, which is the other half of perceived responsiveness. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | DESK · 2 vCPU / 4 GB | $9.50/mo | | DESK-PRO · 4 vCPU / 8 GB | $17.00/mo | | STUDIO · 6 vCPU / 16 GB | $31.00/mo | | STUDIO-XL · 8 vCPU / 32 GB | $58.00/mo | | Images | Server 2025, Server 2022, Windows 11 Pro 24H2 | ## Sensible hardening on day one RDP exposed to the internet on 3389 is scanned continuously and is the single most common entry point for ransomware. Every deployment ships with the port randomised, Network Level Authentication on, and an account-lockout policy set. If you want to do better, put the endpoint behind WireGuard on a $4.00 SCOUT VPS and never expose RDP publicly at all. That takes ten minutes and there is a guide for it. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the Windows licence included? Yes, in the monthly price. No separate CAL, no Microsoft account, no activation step. The image arrives activated. ### Do I get full administrator rights? Yes — the built-in Administrator account with no restrictions. Install software, edit the registry, add roles, change firewall rules. It is a dedicated VM, not a shared terminal session. ### Which Windows versions are available? Windows Server 2025, Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11 Pro 24H2. Server 2019 is available on request for legacy compatibility. ### How do I secure an RDP server? Non-standard port and NLA come configured. The real fix is to put it behind WireGuard on a cheap Linux VPS and never expose 3389 publicly. That is the single highest-value hardening step available. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

An autonomous agent can create an account, top up in crypto and deploy a server with no human step. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/ai-agent-hosting **Updated:** 2026-08-09 ## Why this exists Agents increasingly do the buying. An agent that can read a pricing page but cannot complete a purchase has to hand back to a human at exactly the wrong moment, and the provider whose checkout requires a card form, an email confirmation and a captcha simply loses that transaction. Our checkout has none of those things, because it never had them. Removing the identity layer for privacy reasons happens to produce the cleanest possible machine-purchasable interface — there is nothing an agent cannot fill in. ## The interface The agent card at `/.well-known/agent.json` describes the service, the endpoints, the auth scheme and the payment model. The OpenAPI 3.1 document at `/openapi.json` is complete and machine-callable. The MCP endpoint at `/mcp` exposes the same operations as tools for Model Context Protocol clients. Auth is a bearer token in the format `IVPS-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX`, created on first use. A single POST creates an account, a second creates a crypto top-up invoice, and a third deploys a server from the resulting balance. - GET /.well-known/agent.json — capability card - GET /openapi.json — OpenAPI 3.1 specification - POST /api/v1/account — create a token - GET /api/v1/catalog — plans, locations and live prices - POST /api/v1/topup — crypto invoice for balance credit - POST /api/v1/orders — deploy, debiting balance - GET /api/v1/servers/{id} — state, address, credentials ## Content designed to be read by machines Every page on this site has a markdown twin at the same path with `.md` appended, linked from the HTML head. There is an `/llms.txt` index and an `/llms-full.txt` corpus. Pricing is available as `/pricing.md` and `/pricing.json`. None of this is cloaking — the markdown is a faithful rendering of the same content, and we would rather a model read clean markdown than reconstruct our DOM. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can an AI agent really buy a server without a human? Yes. Create a token, create a top-up invoice, settle it on-chain, then POST an order. No email confirmation, no card form, no captcha at any step. ### Do you have an MCP server? Yes, at /mcp. It exposes catalog browsing, price quoting, account creation, top-up and deployment as MCP tools for any Model Context Protocol client. ### Is there a rate limit on the API? 120 requests per minute per token on read endpoints and 20 per minute on write endpoints. Unauthenticated catalog reads are limited to 60 per minute per address. ### How does an agent handle the crypto payment? POST /api/v1/topup returns an address and amount. The agent settles it from a wallet it controls and polls the invoice until it confirms. Balance is then debited synchronously by the order call. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Five Incognito VPS locations qualify: Iceland, Switzerland, Panama, Moldova and Russia. Romania, Bulgaria and the Netherlands are EU member states and are labelled as such. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/eu-alternative-hosting **Updated:** 2026-07-14 ## What EU membership actually means for a server The European Investigation Order is the operative instrument. Between member states it is fast, standardised and close to automatic — an authority in one member state issues it and an authority in another executes it under a short deadline, with narrow grounds for refusal. That is the single biggest practical difference between an EU rack and a non-EU rack. The Digital Services Act adds obligations around notice handling and, for larger platforms, transparency and risk assessment. It applies to providers established in the EU or targeting EU users. ## Where the perimeter falls on our map Romania, Bulgaria and the Netherlands are EU member states. Iceland is EEA, which means single-market participation without membership of the EU judicial-cooperation framework — the EIO does not reach Reykjavík. Switzerland sits outside both, with foreign requests routed through mutual legal assistance and dual-criminality review. Panama, Moldova and Russia are outside entirely. We say this explicitly on every location page rather than letting "offshore" do the work, because the difference between EEA and EU is exactly the kind of thing marketing copy usually blurs. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which of your locations are in the EU? Romania, Bulgaria and the Netherlands. Iceland is EEA but not EU, so EU judicial-cooperation instruments do not reach it. Switzerland, Panama, Moldova and Russia are outside both. ### Does GDPR apply to my server? GDPR follows the data subjects, not the rack. If you process EU residents’ personal data you have obligations regardless of where the server sits. Non-EU hosting changes enforcement reach, not whether the regulation applies. ### Is Iceland in the EU? No. Iceland is in the EEA, which grants single-market access without EU membership. It does not participate in EU judicial-cooperation instruments, so a European Investigation Order has no path there. ### Which non-EU location has the best latency to Europe? Switzerland at 8 ms to Frankfurt, then Moldova at 42 ms and Iceland at 41 ms. All three are viable for European-facing production workloads. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS checks its entire IPv4 pool against more than sixty real-time blocklists at allocation and every six hours thereafter, and replaces any address listed through no fault of the customer at no charge. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/clean-ip-hosting **Updated:** 2026-06-25 ## Why offshore providers often have dirty address space A provider that accepts every customer accumulates the customers nobody else accepts. Spam operations and phishing infrastructure generate blocklist entries quickly, and blocklists escalate from individual addresses to /24s to whole ranges. Once a /24 is listed, every legitimate customer in it inherits the reputation. The result is the familiar problem where a technically fine server cannot deliver mail, is challenged by every CDN, and gets soft-blocked by half the services its owner needs. The address is the product defect, not the hardware. ## What we do about it Enforcing an acceptable-use policy is the actual mechanism. Removing customers who generate listings is how the ranges stay clean; monitoring only tells you how bad it has already got. On top of that: every address is checked against 60+ RBLs — Spamhaus SBL/XBL/PBL, SpamCop, Barracuda, SORBS, AbuseIPDB and others — before it is allocated, then re-checked every six hours. If your address is listed for traffic that is not yours, we swap it the same day at no cost and pursue the delisting ourselves. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Blocklists monitored | 60+ | | Check frequency | every 6 hours | | Pre-allocation check | yes | | Replacement if listed (not your fault) | same day, free | | Additional addresses | $2.50/mo, separate /24 | | rDNS / PTR | self-service, instant | ## If you plan to send mail Ask before you buy. Some of our ranges have better sending reputation than others, and we will allocate from the right pool rather than let you discover the problem after the fact. Amsterdam and Zürich are the strongest for outbound mail; Moldova and Russia are the weakest and we will say so. You will still need SPF, DKIM, DMARC and a PTR record that matches. rDNS is self-service and applies instantly. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I know my IP is clean before I buy? Ask on the contact page with your intended use and we will check a candidate address against the full blocklist set before allocating it. For mail specifically, always ask first. ### What if my IP gets listed later? If the listing is not caused by your traffic, we replace the address the same day at no charge and pursue delisting ourselves. If it is caused by your traffic, we will tell you what triggered it. ### Can I set reverse DNS? Yes, self-service and instant for every address on your account, IPv4 and IPv6. A matching PTR is mandatory for mail delivery. ### Which locations are best for sending email? Amsterdam and Zürich have the strongest outbound reputation. Iceland and Switzerland are also good. Moldova and Russia are the weakest — usable, but expect more friction with the large mailbox providers. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS permits exit-free relays, obfs4 bridges and onion services in all eight jurisdictions, with unmetered transfer on dedicated and storage plans. Exit relays require prior discussion because of the abuse volume they generate. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/use-cases/tor-hosting **Updated:** 2026-07-20 ## Recommended configuration | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Plan | VECTOR (hv-4) | | Specification | 4 vCPU, 8 GB, 140 GB | | Jurisdiction | Chișinău, Moldova | | Price | $14.50/mo | A middle relay is bandwidth-bound rather than CPU-bound, so the cheapest location with clean transit wins. Moldova sits outside EU judicial cooperation and delivers 42 ms to Frankfurt. ## Resource guidance | Scenario | Minimum | | --- | --- | | Middle relay | 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 8+ TB transfer | | obfs4 bridge | 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 2 TB transfer | | Onion service | 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, minimal transfer | | Exit relay | Discuss with us first | ## Relays, bridges and onion services are three different jobs A middle relay carries traffic between other Tor nodes. It never touches the clear internet, so it generates no abuse complaints, and it is the single most useful thing you can contribute to the network. Bandwidth is what matters; a 2 vCPU machine with 8 TB of transfer is plenty. A bridge is an unlisted entry point for users in countries that block the public relay list. obfs4 bridges need very little of anything and are enormously valuable to people in filtered networks. An onion service is your own hidden service, needing only enough capacity for whatever it serves. An exit relay is the one that carries traffic out to the clear internet, which means it receives abuse reports for everything its users do. We support exit operation but require a conversation first, so that we can put you in an appropriate range and neither of us is surprised. ## Where to put it Diversity is the point. The Tor network is measurably healthier when relays are spread across many autonomous systems and jurisdictions, so the best location is often the one with the fewest existing relays. Moldova, Bulgaria and Panama are under-represented; the Netherlands is thoroughly saturated. All eight of our jurisdictions permit relay operation. Moldova and Panama sit outside EU judicial cooperation entirely, which is a reasonable consideration for an operator who would rather not field EIOs. ## Setup, briefly Install the Tor package from the official repository rather than your distribution’s, set `ORPort`, `Nickname` and `ContactInfo`, leave `ExitPolicy reject *:*` for a middle relay, and set a `RelayBandwidthRate` that fits your transfer allowance. Expect roughly three days for the bandwidth authorities to measure you and about sixty days to reach full utilisation. Set `AccountingMax` if you are on a metered plan — it is much better to have the relay hibernate than to blow through the allowance. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you allow Tor exit relays? Yes, with a conversation first. Exit relays generate substantial abuse volume, so we place them in dedicated ranges to protect other customers. Contact us before deploying one. ### Will running a relay get my server suspended? No. Middle relays, bridges and onion services are explicitly permitted in all eight jurisdictions and generate no abuse reports. Only unannounced exit relays cause problems. ### How much bandwidth does a relay use? As much as you allow. A well-used middle relay at 10 Mbps sustained moves roughly 3 TB a month. Set RelayBandwidthRate and AccountingMax to fit your plan. ### Which location is best for a relay? Whichever has the fewest existing relays — network diversity is the goal. Moldova, Bulgaria and Panama are under-represented. The Netherlands is heavily saturated already. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

It gives you an exit address nobody else uses and a server whose logging you control. A Incognito VPS SCOUT plan at $4.00 per month is sufficient for several devices. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/use-cases/vpn-server-hosting **Updated:** 2026-07-27 ## Recommended configuration | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Plan | SCOUT (hv-1) | | Specification | 1 vCPU, 2 GB, 25 GB | | Jurisdiction | Amsterdam, Netherlands | | Price | $4.50/mo | WireGuard is almost free in CPU terms, so the smallest plan is genuinely enough. Amsterdam has the best peering in Europe, which is what you actually feel when routing all traffic through it. ## Resource guidance | Scenario | Minimum | | --- | --- | | 1–5 devices | 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 2 TB transfer | | 5–20 devices | 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 4 TB transfer | | Heavy streaming | 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 8+ TB transfer | | Protocol | WireGuard (recommended) or OpenVPN | ## What self-hosting changes, honestly A commercial VPN puts you in a crowd. Hundreds of users share an exit address, so traffic attributed to that address cannot be attributed to you specifically. That is a real privacy property and self-hosting throws it away — your exit address is used by exactly one person. What you get in exchange is a server whose logging policy you actually control, an address that is not on every VPN blocklist, and no requirement to trust a provider’s marketing about what it retains. For unblocking a service, avoiding your ISP, or reaching a home network, self-hosting is clearly better. For hiding in a crowd, it is clearly worse. Pick according to which you need. ## WireGuard, in about five minutes WireGuard is roughly 4,000 lines of kernel code against OpenVPN’s hundreds of thousands, it uses modern primitives with no cipher negotiation, and it roams between networks without dropping. It is faster in every benchmark that matters and simpler to configure by a wide margin. Install `wireguard-tools`, generate a key pair, write a fifteen-line config with your peer public keys, enable IP forwarding, add a masquerade rule and start the interface. The `wg-easy` container gives you the same thing with a web UI if you would rather click. ## Choosing a location Latency dominates the experience here. Pick the location closest to you unless you specifically need to appear somewhere else — routing all your traffic through Panama from Berlin will make everything feel broken. Amsterdam is the default for European users. Bucharest and Sofia for eastern Europe. Panama for anyone in the Americas. If you want an endpoint that also survives national filtering, the censorship-resistance page covers the protocols that currently work. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is a self-hosted VPN more private than a commercial one? In some ways. You control the logging and the address is not shared. But your anonymity set is one — traffic from that address is unambiguously yours. Commercial VPNs give crowd cover you cannot self-host. ### Which plan do I need? SCOUT at $4.00/month handles several devices comfortably; WireGuard is almost free in CPU terms. Move to RELAY if you are routing heavy video for a household. ### WireGuard or OpenVPN? WireGuard, unless you need a feature it lacks. It is faster, far simpler to audit, and roams between networks without dropping. OpenVPN remains useful where TCP/443 camouflage is required. ### Can I use it to watch geo-restricted streaming? Sometimes. Datacentre address ranges are widely detected by the large streaming platforms, and a fresh address helps but is not a guarantee. We do not sell this as a feature because we cannot control it. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

BASTION gives 16 GB and 6 vCPU, and Amsterdam’s peering keeps ping low for most of Europe. ## Resource guidance | Scenario | Minimum | | --- | --- | | Minecraft, 10 players | 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM | | Minecraft modded, 20 players | 6 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | | Rust, 100 players | 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM | | CS2 / Valheim | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM | ## A VPS beats a game panel once you outgrow the panel Managed game hosts charge per player slot, restrict which mods you can install, and give you a web panel instead of a shell. That is the right product for a first server. It becomes the wrong product the moment you want a specific Java build, a custom plugin, a database alongside the server, or more than one game on the same machine. With root you install what you like, run several games on one box, put a Postgres next to them and script the whole thing. There are no slot limits because there is no slot accounting. ## What actually determines performance Almost every game server is single-thread bound. Minecraft’s tick loop is famously single-threaded; Rust and Source engines are similar. Core count matters far less than clock speed, which is why sixteen slow cores will feel worse than six fast ones. RAM is the other constraint, especially for modded Minecraft where 16 GB is a realistic floor for a busy modpack. Disk matters less than people expect once you are on NVMe — chunk loading stops being the bottleneck. ## DDoS is not optional in this category Game servers get attacked, routinely and often by players. Every plan includes always-on L3/L4 scrubbing with 11 Tbps of capacity, which handles volumetric floods without you doing anything. Application-layer attacks — malformed packets aimed at the game protocol itself — need DDoS Shield Pro at $12/month, which lets us write custom rules for your specific server. Most operators do not need it until they do, and then they need it urgently. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which plan for a Minecraft server? Vanilla with ten friends runs fine on RELAY (2 vCPU, 4 GB) at $7.00/month. A busy modpack with twenty players wants BASTION (6 vCPU, 16 GB). Modded Minecraft is RAM-bound above all. ### Is DDoS protection included? Yes — always-on L3/L4 scrubbing with 11 Tbps capacity on every plan. Application-layer filtering with custom rules is a $12/month add-on. ### Are there player-slot limits? None. It is your server and your resources — the only limit is what the hardware can carry. We do not count players because we have no way to and no reason to. ### Which location gives the lowest ping? Amsterdam for western Europe, Bucharest or Sofia for eastern Europe, Panama for the Americas. Every location page publishes measured latency from five sources. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Amsterdam and Zürich are the strongest; Moldova and Russia are the weakest and we will tell you so rather than sell you a server that will not work. ## The four things that are non-negotiable Reverse DNS matching your mail hostname — self-service on our panel, applies instantly. SPF listing your sending address. DKIM signing on outbound. DMARC with a policy and a reporting address. Miss any one and delivery degrades sharply. Get all four right and a clean address will reach the inbox at the major providers within a few weeks of consistent, low-volume sending. - PTR record matching the HELO hostname exactly - SPF record listing the sending address, with a ~all or -all qualifier - DKIM key published in DNS and signing all outbound mail - DMARC policy with rua reporting enabled - TLS on 25, 465 and 587 with a valid certificate - Postmaster and abuse addresses that a human reads ## Port 25 and why we ask Port 25 is closed by default on new servers, as it is at every reputable provider, because open 25 on a fresh address is how spam operations start. Ask on the contact page, describe what you are sending, and we open it — usually within a couple of hours. This is not a hurdle designed to discourage you. It is the mechanism that keeps our ranges deliverable for everyone sending from them, including you. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is port 25 open? Closed by default, opened on request after a short conversation about your use case. Usually within a couple of hours. This is what keeps our ranges deliverable. ### Can I set reverse DNS? Yes, self-service and instant for every address on your account. A PTR matching your mail hostname is mandatory for delivery to the large providers. ### Which location is best for mail? Amsterdam and Zürich have the strongest outbound reputation. Iceland is also good. Moldova and Russia are the weakest — usable, but expect more friction. ### Will my mail reach Gmail? With a clean address, matching rDNS, SPF, DKIM and DMARC, and a sensible sending volume ramp — yes, generally within a few weeks. Nobody can promise this, and any host that does is not being straight with you. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS storage servers provide 4 to 32 TB of RAID-10 capacity with unmetered transfer from $16 per month, in jurisdictions where the US DMCA has no direct legal effect. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/use-cases/seedbox-hosting **Updated:** 2026-07-05 ## Recommended configuration | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Plan | VAULT-8 (sx-8) | | Specification | 2 vCPU, 8 GB, 8 TB | | Jurisdiction | Chișinău, Moldova | | Price | $28.50/mo | 8 TB unmetered at $28 is the sweet spot for most private-tracker ratios, and Moldova sits outside both EU judicial cooperation and US copyright enforcement treaties. ## Resource guidance | Scenario | Minimum | | --- | --- | | Light seeding | 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 4 TB | | Private tracker ratio | 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 8 TB | | Heavy archival | 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 16–32 TB | | Transfer | Unmetered on all storage plans | ## Why the storage line rather than a VPS Seedboxes are disk-bound and transfer-bound, not CPU-bound. A VPS gives you fast NVMe you do not need and 60 GB of it, which is not enough. The storage line inverts that: modest CPU, plenty of RAM for the torrent client’s hash tables, and four to thirty-two terabytes of RAID-10 enterprise disk with an NVMe read cache in front. Transfer is unmetered on every storage plan, which is the entire point. A metered seedbox is a seedbox with a bill attached to seeding, and seeding is the part that earns ratio. ## Build it yourself, or use the image The straightforward stack is rTorrent with ruTorrent, or qBittorrent-nox if you prefer its web UI, behind an nginx reverse proxy with TLS. Add Sonarr, Radarr and Prowlarr for automation, Jellyfin if you want to stream directly, and rclone to push finished content to cold storage elsewhere. Our Debian 13 image ships with a one-command installer that sets up qBittorrent-nox, nginx with a Let's Encrypt certificate and a WireGuard tunnel back to your machine, if you would rather not do it by hand. ## The legal position, stated plainly BitTorrent is a transfer protocol and running one is lawful everywhere we operate. Distributing content you do not have the right to distribute is not lawful anywhere we operate, and our acceptable-use policy prohibits it. What the jurisdiction changes is procedure: a US rights-holder cannot send a DMCA notice to Chișinău and have it produce an automatic takedown, because the statute has no force there. They can bring a claim under Moldovan law in a Moldovan court. We are not going to pretend that difference does not exist, and we are also not going to pretend it makes infringement legal. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is transfer really unmetered? Yes on all storage plans, at 1 or 2 Gbps depending on tier. There is no cap, no overage and no throttle. Sustained line-rate use is expected and is what the plans are for. ### Which location for a seedbox? Moldova is the usual answer — cheapest, outside EU judicial cooperation, no US copyright treaty. Bulgaria if you want EU-grade latency. The Netherlands if throughput matters more than legal distance. ### Do you send DMCA notices to customers? The DMCA has no legal force at our locations, so we do not action it as a statutory obligation. Notices that identify real infringement under applicable local law are forwarded to you with a response window. ### Can I use rclone to move data off the box? Yes, and it is a good pattern. Unmetered transfer means pushing finished content to cold storage costs you nothing. Many customers pair a storage server with a VAULT in a second jurisdiction. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS matches plans to real 2026 chain sizes: a pruned Bitcoin node needs 2 vCPU and 60 GB, a full Ethereum node needs 8 vCPU with 2 TB of NVMe, and a Solana validator needs a dedicated server with 384 GB of RAM. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/use-cases/blockchain-node-hosting **Updated:** 2026-08-03 ## Recommended configuration | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Plan | CITADEL (hv-16) | | Specification | 8 vCPU, 32 GB, 560 GB | | Jurisdiction | Sofia, Bulgaria | | Price | $52.00/mo | CITADEL with 32 GB and 560 GB of NVMe Gen4 covers a full Bitcoin node or an Ethereum execution client comfortably. Sofia is the cheapest location with the transit quality a node needs. ## Resource guidance | Scenario | Minimum | | --- | --- | | Bitcoin pruned | 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 60 GB | | Bitcoin full | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 900 GB | | Ethereum full (Geth + Lighthouse) | 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, 2 TB NVMe | | Monero full | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 250 GB | | Solana validator | 32 vCPU, 384 GB RAM, 4 TB NVMe | ## Size for the chain, not for the marketing Most node hosting pages quote requirements that were accurate three years ago. As of mid-2026 the Bitcoin blockchain is around 750 GB and grows roughly 60 GB a year. A pruned node with `prune=550` validates everything but keeps only the recent blocks, and fits in 60 GB. Ethereum is the demanding one. Post-merge you run an execution client and a consensus client side by side; Geth plus Lighthouse with default settings needs about 1.4 TB and grows steadily. An archive node needs upwards of 15 TB and belongs on a dedicated server. Solana is in a category of its own. A voting validator wants 256 to 512 GB of RAM and enterprise NVMe with high sustained write endurance, and running one on a VPS will not work regardless of what the plan page says. ## Why disk endurance matters more than disk speed Nodes write constantly. Consumer NVMe with a low terabytes-written rating will degrade in months under a Solana or Ethereum workload — this is the most common way a self-hosted node dies. Every NVMe on our network is enterprise-grade with high sustained-write endurance, and on dedicated servers you can see the exact model in the specification. The other thing people underestimate is initial sync. A Bitcoin node takes one to three days to sync from scratch, Ethereum three to seven with snap sync. Unmetered transfer matters here as much as it does afterwards. ## Privacy considerations for node operators Running your own node is itself a privacy measure — it removes the third-party server that would otherwise learn every address you query. Combining it with a jurisdiction that does not log and does not require identity closes the remaining gap. For Monero specifically, running your own node is close to mandatory if you care about the privacy properties. A remote node sees the transactions you look up, which undoes a meaningful fraction of what Monero provides. ## Frequently asked questions ### What does a Bitcoin node need in 2026? Pruned: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 60 GB disk. Full archival: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM and about 900 GB, growing roughly 60 GB a year. Initial sync takes one to three days. ### Can I run an Ethereum node on a VPS? Yes — a full node with Geth plus Lighthouse fits on CITADEL (8 vCPU, 32 GB, 560 GB) if you prune. An archive node needs 15+ TB and belongs on a dedicated server. ### Is transfer metered for nodes? Storage and dedicated plans are unmetered. VPS plans carry 2 to 30 TB allowances; a Bitcoin node uses roughly 200 GB a month steady-state, so RELAY upward is comfortable. ### Which location for a validator? Amsterdam for consensus-critical validators, because propagation latency directly affects rewards. Bulgaria or Moldova for non-voting full nodes where cost matters more than milliseconds. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS provides RTX 4090, RTX 5090, A100 and H100 servers with CUDA 13 and PyTorch preinstalled, unmetered transfer, and no logging of what you run. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/use-cases/ai-inference-hosting **Updated:** 2026-08-08 ## Recommended configuration | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Plan | FORGE-XL (gx-5090) | | Specification | 12 vCPU, 96 GB, 2 TB | | Jurisdiction | Amsterdam, Netherlands | | Price | $219.00/mo | 32 GB of VRAM runs a 32B model at 4-bit or a 13B at full precision with room for context. Amsterdam keeps first-token latency low for European users. ## Resource guidance | Scenario | Minimum | | --- | --- | | 7–8B, 4-bit | 1 × RTX 4090 (24 GB) | | 13–14B, 8-bit | 1 × RTX 5090 (32 GB) | | 32–34B, 4-bit | 1 × RTX 5090 (32 GB) | | 70B, 4-bit | 1 × H100 (80 GB) | | 70B full precision | 4 × H100 (320 GB) | ## When self-hosting beats an API Hosted APIs are cheaper per token until they are not. The crossover is roughly continuous use: if a GPU is busy most of the day, a monthly rental costs less than the equivalent API spend, and the gap widens as volume grows. The other reasons are structural rather than economic. Your prompts do not leave your server. There is no content policy applied to your requests. There is no rate limit, no deprecation of the model you built against, and no provider deciding your use case is no longer welcome. For some work these matter more than the price. ## VRAM is the only spec that matters at first Model size in parameters times bytes per parameter gives you the floor, and you need headroom on top for the KV cache, which grows with context length and batch size. A 4-bit quantised 7B model is about 4 GB; a 4-bit 70B is about 40 GB. The practical mapping: 24 GB runs 7B to 13B comfortably. 32 GB reaches 32B at 4-bit. 80 GB runs 70B at 4-bit with generous context. Beyond that you need multiple cards and tensor parallelism. ## The software stack vLLM is the right default for serving — continuous batching and PagedAttention give it a large throughput advantage over naive implementations, and it speaks the OpenAI API format so most client code works unmodified. Ollama is simpler if you are experimenting and do not need throughput. TGI and SGLang are both worth a look for specific workloads. All of them are one command away on our images, which ship with CUDA 13, cuDNN 9 and PyTorch 2.6 already installed. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which GPU for a 70B model? A single H100 with 80 GB runs 70B at 4-bit quantisation with generous context. Full precision needs roughly 140 GB, so four H100s behind NVLink. ### Do you log what I run? No. There is no inspection of GPU workloads, no prompt logging and no content policy applied to computation. Our AUP governs what you distribute from the server, not what you compute on it. ### Is the GPU shared with other customers? No. The physical card is passed through and dedicated to your VM for the term — no time-slicing, no MIG partitioning, full VRAM and full throughput. ### Can I fine-tune, not just infer? Yes. LoRA fine-tuning of a 7B model fits comfortably on a 4090. Full fine-tunes of larger models want an A100 or H100. Unmetered transfer means moving datasets in and checkpoints out costs nothing. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

A Incognito VPS VECTOR plan at $14 per month runs Nextcloud, Vaultwarden and Immich together comfortably for a household. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/use-cases/self-hosting **Updated:** 2026-07-23 ## Recommended configuration | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Plan | VECTOR (hv-4) | | Specification | 4 vCPU, 8 GB, 140 GB | | Jurisdiction | Zürich, Switzerland | | Price | $20.50/mo | 8 GB and 140 GB of NVMe carries a full personal-cloud stack. Zürich adds the nFADP regime and dual-criminality review to data that is, by definition, all about you. ## Resource guidance | Scenario | Minimum | | --- | --- | | Vaultwarden alone | 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM | | Nextcloud, 5 users | 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 100 GB+ | | Immich (photos, ML) | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB+ | | Full stack | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 140 GB | ## The trade you are actually making Self-hosting swaps a subscription for responsibility. You stop paying a vendor and start being the person who applies updates, watches disk usage and holds the backups. That is a real cost in attention, and anyone presenting self-hosting as strictly better is skipping the interesting part. What you get is that your files, passwords and photos live somewhere that does not train on them, does not scan them, does not change its terms, and cannot close your account. For a lot of people that is worth an hour a month. ## A stack that works Nextcloud for files, calendar and contacts. Vaultwarden for passwords — it is the lightweight Bitwarden-compatible server and the official clients work against it unchanged. Immich for photos, with face and object recognition that runs locally. Docker Compose to hold it together and Caddy in front for automatic TLS. Add Gitea if you write code, Miniflux for RSS, Paperless-ngx for documents, and Jellyfin if you have media. All of it fits on 8 GB with room left over. - Nextcloud — files, calendar, contacts, office - Vaultwarden — passwords, Bitwarden-client compatible - Immich — photos with local ML, no cloud dependency - Gitea / Forgejo — Git hosting - Paperless-ngx — document archive with OCR - Caddy — reverse proxy with automatic certificates ## Back it up, or none of this counts A self-hosted service with no backup is worse than the vendor you left, because the vendor at least had redundancy. Use restic or Borg to a storage server in a different jurisdiction, encrypted client-side, running nightly, and test the restore. Our encrypted-snapshot add-on does the hypervisor-level half of this at $0.04/GB/month, but a file-level backup you control is still the thing that saves you when you delete something by hand. ## Frequently asked questions ### What can I self-host on a $14 server? Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Immich, Gitea and a reverse proxy, together, for a household. VECTOR gives 4 vCPU, 8 GB and 140 GB of NVMe, which carries that stack comfortably. ### Is self-hosting hard? The setup is a weekend with Docker Compose. The ongoing cost is roughly an hour a month for updates and checking backups. The failure mode is neglect, not complexity. ### Which location for personal data? Switzerland or Iceland. Both are outside EU judicial cooperation, and Switzerland adds the revised nFADP regime with criminal liability for unlawful disclosure. ### How do I back up a self-hosted server? restic or Borg to a storage server in a second jurisdiction, encrypted client-side, nightly, with a tested restore. Add hypervisor snapshots at $0.04/GB/month as a second layer. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS storage servers provide 4 to 32 TB of RAID-10 capacity with unmetered transfer from $16 per month, reachable over SSH, SFTP or rclone. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/use-cases/backup-hosting **Updated:** 2026-07-02 ## Recommended configuration | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Plan | VAULT-8 (sx-8) | | Specification | 2 vCPU, 8 GB, 8 TB | | Jurisdiction | Reykjavík, Iceland | | Price | $37.00/mo | 8 TB at $28 covers most personal and small-business needs, and Iceland puts your backups under a different legal regime from anything you run in the EU. ## Resource guidance | Scenario | Minimum | | --- | --- | | Personal | 4 TB | | Small business | 8 TB | | Media archive | 16 TB | | Large archive | 32 TB | ## Jurisdictional separation is the point A backup in the same building as the primary protects against disk failure. A backup in the same jurisdiction protects against disk failure and fire. A backup in a different jurisdiction protects against disk failure, fire, and a legal event that reaches everything you own in one country at once. The last category is the one people skip, and it is the one that ends businesses. If your primary is in Frankfurt, put the backup in Reykjavík or Zürich rather than Berlin. ## Encrypt before it leaves Restic and Borg both encrypt client-side with a key you hold, which means the data arriving on our disks is opaque to us by construction. That is the correct arrangement and we would rather you use it than trust us. Both do content-addressed deduplication, so incremental backups transfer only what changed. Both support append-only repository modes, which is the specific defence against a compromised primary encrypting your backups too — a ransomware operator with your credentials still cannot delete history. ## Practical setup SSH key access, an unprivileged user per repository, and a nightly systemd timer. `restic backup /data --repo sftp:user@host:/repo` is most of it. Set `--append-only` on the server side for the ransomware case. Unmetered transfer means the initial seed of several terabytes costs nothing beyond the time, and restores cost nothing at all — which is the moment when metered providers become expensive at exactly the wrong time. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can you read my backups? Not if you use restic or Borg, which encrypt client-side with a key you hold. What arrives on our disks is ciphertext. That is the arrangement we recommend precisely because it does not require trusting us. ### Is restore traffic charged? No. Transfer is unmetered on all storage plans in both directions. Restoring 8 TB costs nothing, which is the point — metered providers get expensive exactly when you are already having a bad day. ### Which location for backups? Any jurisdiction different from your primary. Iceland and Switzerland are the usual choices for legal separation; Bulgaria if cost is the deciding factor. ### Do you support append-only repositories? Yes. Configure the SSH key with restic or Borg append-only mode and a compromised primary cannot delete backup history — the specific defence against ransomware that goes after your backups. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

A Incognito VPS VECTOR plan at $14 per month typically outperforms a hosted runner while removing per-minute billing and queue waits entirely. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/use-cases/ci-runner-hosting **Updated:** 2026-06-21 ## Recommended configuration | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Plan | BASTION (hv-8) | | Specification | 6 vCPU, 16 GB, 280 GB | | Jurisdiction | Sofia, Bulgaria | | Price | $27.00/mo | Builds are CPU and IO bound. BASTION gives 6 EPYC cores, 16 GB and NVMe Gen4 for $27, and Sofia is the cheapest location with the transit a runner needs. ## Resource guidance | Scenario | Minimum | | --- | --- | | Small project | 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM | | Typical monorepo | 6 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | | Heavy compile (Rust, C++) | 16 vCPU, 64 GB RAM | | Docker layer cache | 140 GB+ NVMe | ## The arithmetic is usually decisive Hosted CI minutes look cheap until you count them. A team running a few hundred builds a month on 2-core hosted runners routinely spends more than a 6-core dedicated VPS costs, and gets slower builds for the money because hosted runners are modest machines under contention. The other saving is time rather than money. A self-hosted runner has no queue — your job starts when you push. On a busy hosted pool, waiting several minutes for a runner is normal, and that delay lands on every developer, every push. ## Caching is where the real speedup lives Persistent local NVMe changes CI economics more than raw core count does. Docker layers, Cargo registries, node_modules, Gradle caches and ccache all survive between runs on a self-hosted runner, where a hosted runner starts clean and re-downloads everything. For a large Rust or C++ project this is frequently a five- to ten-fold reduction in wall-clock build time, and it is entirely free. ## Isolation, because runners execute arbitrary code A self-hosted runner runs whatever is in the pipeline, which for a public repository means whatever a contributor puts in a pull request. Never attach a self-hosted runner to a public repository without ephemeral, isolated execution. Use ephemeral runners in containers or short-lived VMs, give the runner no credentials it does not need, and put it on a server with nothing else on it. A $14 machine per project is cheap insurance against a compromised pipeline reaching the rest of your infrastructure. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which plan for a CI runner? VECTOR (4 vCPU, 8 GB) for a typical project; BASTION (6 vCPU, 16 GB) for a monorepo or heavy compilation. Persistent NVMe cache matters more than core count for most pipelines. ### Does it work with GitHub Actions? Yes. Register the machine as a self-hosted runner and target it with runs-on. GitLab, Forgejo, Woodpecker and Drone all work the same way. ### Is a self-hosted runner safe for public repos? Not without ephemeral isolation. A pull request can run arbitrary code on the runner. Use ephemeral containers or throwaway VMs, and never grant credentials the pipeline does not need. ### How much faster is it? Typically two to four times on raw compute, and five to ten times on cache-heavy pipelines because Docker layers and dependency caches persist between runs instead of being re-downloaded. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Incognito VPS allocates from clean IPv4 pools checked against 60+ blocklists, sells additional addresses at $2.50 per month from separate /24s, and does not require identity verification. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/use-cases/web-scraping-hosting **Updated:** 2026-06-18 ## Recommended configuration | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Plan | BASTION (hv-8) | | Specification | 6 vCPU, 16 GB, 280 GB | | Jurisdiction | Bucharest, Romania | | Price | $28.50/mo | Headless Chrome is memory-hungry — 16 GB runs a healthy pool of concurrent instances. Bucharest gives EU-resident addresses at a low price index. ## Resource guidance | Scenario | Minimum | | --- | --- | | HTTP scraping | 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM | | Headless browsers (5–10) | 6 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | | Large crawl + parsing | 16 vCPU, 64 GB RAM | | Address diversity | $2.50/mo per extra IPv4 | ## Address reputation decides whether this works Most anti-bot systems check the address before they check anything else. Ranges belonging to well-known clouds are pre-classified as datacentre traffic and treated with suspicion by default; ranges with a history of abuse are simply blocked. Our IPv4 pool is checked against sixty-plus blocklists at allocation and every six hours after, and the acceptable-use policy that removes abusive customers is what keeps it that way. Additional addresses come from separate /24s so a single block does not take out your whole pool. ## Sizing for headless browsers Plain HTTP scraping is cheap — a small VPS will saturate its network long before its CPU. Headless Chrome is the opposite: each instance wants roughly 300 to 500 MB of RAM and a meaningful share of a core, so concurrency is bounded by memory. Ten concurrent Chrome instances is comfortable on 16 GB. If you are running Playwright or Puppeteer at scale, budget memory first and cores second. ## Do it properly Respect robots.txt, rate-limit yourself, identify your crawler in the user agent with a contact address, and cache aggressively so you are not re-fetching what you already have. This is not moralising — it is how you avoid being blocked, and the operators who get blocked are the ones who hammer. Our acceptable-use policy prohibits credential stuffing, scraping behind authentication you are not authorised to hold, and collecting personal data in breach of applicable law. Ordinary public-web data collection is fine and always has been. ## Frequently asked questions ### Are your IPs blocked by anti-bot services? Our ranges are not on abuse blocklists, which is the main thing you control. Any datacentre range can still be classified as datacentre traffic by a sophisticated anti-bot system — that is inherent to hosting, not specific to us. ### Can I get multiple IP addresses? Yes, $2.50/month each, up to sixteen per server, allocated from separate /24s so one block does not take out your whole pool. No justification form. ### Which plan for headless browsers? BASTION (6 vCPU, 16 GB) runs about ten concurrent Chrome instances. Each instance wants 300–500 MB, so memory is the binding constraint, not cores. ### Is scraping allowed under your AUP? Public-web data collection is fine. Credential stuffing, accessing data behind authentication you are not authorised for, and collecting personal data in breach of applicable law are not. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

The moment a client needs a different codec, container or bitrate, the server has to re-encode in real time, and that is expensive. One 1080p CPU transcode wants roughly four modern cores. 4K HDR with tone mapping wants considerably more. If you have several remote viewers on varied devices, a GPU with NVENC handles a dozen simultaneous streams at a fraction of the CPU cost, which is why the FORGE plan is often cheaper in practice than a big CPU box. ## Jellyfin or Plex Jellyfin is free, open source, has no account system and phones nothing home. Plex has better client applications and smoother remote access, but requires a Plex account and routes discovery through Plex servers, which puts a third party back into a setup you built specifically to avoid third parties. For an audience reading a page on a privacy-focused host, Jellyfin is the obvious answer. Plex is the pragmatic one if your household will not tolerate rougher edges. ## Bandwidth A 1080p stream is roughly 5 to 10 Mbps and 4K is 25 to 50. Four concurrent 4K streams can sustain 200 Mbps, and over a month that is a lot of bytes. Unmetered transfer on the storage line means none of it costs extra. A metered plan makes this arithmetic unpleasant, which is why we put media servers on storage plans rather than on a large VPS. ## Frequently asked questions ### Jellyfin or Plex? Jellyfin if you want no account and no third party — free, open source, phones nothing home. Plex if you want the smoothest client apps and will accept a Plex account in the loop. ### Do I need a GPU for transcoding? Only if clients cannot direct-play. One 1080p CPU transcode needs about four modern cores; a GPU with NVENC handles a dozen streams and often works out cheaper than the equivalent CPU box. ### How much storage do I need? Roughly 4 GB per 1080p film and 20 GB per 4K film. A 4 TB VAULT holds about a thousand 1080p titles; 16 TB covers a serious library. ### Is streaming bandwidth metered? No, unmetered on all storage plans. A 4K stream is 25–50 Mbps and several concurrent viewers add up quickly, which is exactly why media servers belong on the storage line. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

A Incognito VPS VECTOR plan at $14 per month typically outperforms a mid-range laptop for compilation and never throttles. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/use-cases/dev-environment-hosting **Updated:** 2026-06-10 ## Recommended configuration | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Plan | BASTION (hv-8) | | Specification | 6 vCPU, 16 GB, 280 GB | | Jurisdiction | Bucharest, Romania | | Price | $28.50/mo | Six EPYC cores and 16 GB out-compile most laptops without thermal throttling, and Bucharest keeps round-trip latency under 40 ms across Europe so the editor feels local. ## Resource guidance | Scenario | Minimum | | --- | --- | | Web / scripting | 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM | | Typical polyglot dev | 6 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | | Rust / C++ / Android | 16 vCPU, 64 GB RAM | | Latency target | Under 50 ms for comfortable editing | ## Why this is better than it sounds A laptop compiling a large project is a thermally constrained machine running at a fraction of its rated speed within ninety seconds. A server does not throttle, does not run out of battery, and does not stop when you close the lid. Long builds continue while you go somewhere else. It also decouples your environment from your hardware. Reinstall your laptop, switch to a different machine, work from a tablet — the environment is on the server and your editor is a thin client onto it. ## Latency is the constraint that matters Under 50 ms round trip, a remote editor feels local. Above 100 ms, typing latency becomes noticeable and irritating. Choose the closest location, not the cheapest — this is one use case where the price index should not decide. For European users that means Amsterdam, Bucharest, Sofia or Zürich. Use `mosh` rather than plain SSH for terminal work: it handles roaming and packet loss far better and makes a mediocre connection usable. ## Tooling VS Code Remote-SSH is the smoothest option and needs no server-side setup beyond an SSH key. JetBrains Gateway does the same for IntelliJ and friends. code-server gives you VS Code in a browser if you want to work from a device that cannot run the desktop client. For a terminal-native setup, tmux plus mosh plus your dotfiles is still hard to beat, and survives disconnections completely. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does VS Code Remote-SSH work? Yes, with no server-side setup beyond an SSH key. JetBrains Gateway works the same way, and code-server gives you VS Code in a browser if you need it. ### Which location should I pick? The closest one. Editing feels local under 50 ms and becomes irritating above 100 ms. This is the one use case where latency should override the price index. ### Is it really faster than my laptop? For sustained compilation, usually yes. Six EPYC cores that never thermally throttle beat eight laptop cores that drop to base clock ninety seconds into a build. ### What happens if my connection drops? The build keeps running. Use tmux so your session survives, and mosh instead of SSH so the terminal reconnects automatically when your network changes. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

A copyright claimant is defeated by any country without a US enforcement treaty. A regulator is defeated by mutual-legal-assistance friction. A state signals-intelligence agency is not defeated by jurisdiction at all — only by encryption. Category: jurisdiction · 12 min · Updated 2026-07-31 URL: https://incognitovps.com/guides/choosing-an-offshore-jurisdiction ### Hardening a new VPS Hardening a new VPS takes about twenty minutes: disable password and root SSH login, enable key-only authentication, configure nftables to default-deny inbound, enable unattended security upgrades, and install fail2ban. Those five steps eliminate the overwhelming majority of real-world compromises. Category: security · 10 min · Updated 2026-07-17 URL: https://incognitovps.com/guides/harden-a-new-vps ### Encrypting a remote server disk Full-disk encryption on a remote server uses LUKS2 with the passphrase entered at boot over an out-of-band console or a dropbear SSH shell in the initramfs. It protects against disk seizure and decommissioned-drive recovery. It does not protect a running server, whose keys are in RAM.

Monero is the private option; Bitcoin is public and permanently linkable. Category: payment · 9 min · Updated 2026-08-06 URL: https://incognitovps.com/guides/paying-for-hosting-with-crypto ### VPS vs dedicated server Choose a VPS until you need predictable tail latency, more than 64 GB of RAM, or hardware-level control. A modern VPS on EPYC with NVMe matches bare metal for most workloads. Bare metal wins on p99 consistency, disk throughput and physical isolation. Category: operations · 8 min · Updated 2026-06-27 URL: https://incognitovps.com/guides/vps-vs-dedicated-server ### Warrant canaries explained A warrant canary is a signed statement that a provider has not received secret legal demands, republished on a schedule. Its absence signals what the provider is prohibited from saying directly. The legal theory — that compelled speech is harder to order than prohibited speech — is untested in most jurisdictions. Category: jurisdiction · 7 min · Updated 2026-07-04 URL: https://incognitovps.com/guides/what-a-warrant-canary-is ### Migrating between jurisdictions Migrate between jurisdictions by provisioning the target first, syncing data with rsync or a database replica, lowering DNS TTL 48 hours ahead, cutting over during low traffic, and verifying before destroying the source. Expect minutes of downtime, not hours.

Address reputation is determined by the abuse history of the surrounding range, which is why an enforced acceptable-use policy is a technical feature rather than a legal one. Category: networking · 8 min · Updated 2026-06-23 URL: https://incognitovps.com/guides/ipv6-and-clean-address-space ### When a server is seized A server seizure begins with a court order served on the provider, followed by imaging or physical removal of the hardware. Encrypted volumes yield nothing without the passphrase. The practical defence is architectural: encrypt at rest, keep backups in another jurisdiction, and hold no data you do not need.

Layer 3 and 4 scrubbing absorbs volumetric floods and is included on every Incognito VPS plan with 11 Tbps of capacity. Layer 7 attacks target the application and need request-level filtering, available as a $12 per month add-on.

A copyright claimant is defeated by any country without a US enforcement treaty. A regulator is defeated by mutual-legal-assistance friction. A state signals-intelligence agency is not defeated by jurisdiction at all — only by encryption. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/guides/choosing-an-offshore-jurisdiction **Updated:** 2026-07-31 ## Start from the adversary, not from the map Almost every jurisdiction guide begins with a list of countries and their attractive properties. That is backwards, and it is why people end up paying an Iceland premium for a workload whose only realistic risk is an automated copyright notice. Write down who you are actually worried about. There are four broad answers, they call for different countries, and three of them are much cheaper to satisfy than the marketing suggests. ## Adversary 1: an automated copyright claimant This is by far the most common case and the easiest to solve. Enforcement agencies send high volumes of automated notices citing US statute. Those notices have no legal force outside the United States, and a claimant who wants a result must bring a real claim in the country where the server sits. Any of our eight locations defeats this. Since they all do, optimise for something else — price and latency. Bulgaria at index 1.00 or Moldova at 1.02 are the rational choices, and paying the Iceland premium here buys you nothing you did not already have. ## Adversary 2: a civil claimant or a regulator Here the instrument matters. Inside the EU, a European Investigation Order moves between member states quickly with narrow refusal grounds. Outside it, a claimant needs mutual legal assistance or letters rogatory, which take months and can be refused outright. Switzerland is the strongest answer because the IMAC framework requires dual criminality — the conduct must be an offence under Swiss law too, which filters out a large category of foreign claims before they start. Panama is the strongest by pure friction, since no MLAT is in force with most EU member states and requests fall back to letters rogatory. ## Adversary 3: a hostile local state If you are publishing about a government that can reach you physically, the jurisdiction question is about distance from that specific state, not about privacy in the abstract. Iceland is the strongest general answer thanks to the IMMI framework and constitutional speech protection. The important corollary is that the server is the easy part. Your own operational security — how you connect, what you write from where, who knows the project is yours — is where this threat model is actually won or lost. ## Adversary 4: a signals-intelligence agency No hosting jurisdiction solves this, and any provider implying otherwise is taking your money for a feeling. An agency with network-level access does not need to serve your host with anything. What actually helps: end-to-end encryption, full-disk encryption with a key we never see, minimising what the server knows, and assuming the network is observed. Choose the jurisdiction for the other three adversaries and spend your remaining effort on cryptography. ## A short decision table Compressed to something you can act on in thirty seconds: | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Copyright notices only | Bulgaria or Moldova — cheapest, fully sufficient | | EU regulator or civil claim | Switzerland (dual criminality) or Panama (no MLAT) | | Publishing under state pressure | Iceland — IMMI plus constitutional protection | | Latency-critical in Europe | Netherlands — accept Nine Eyes, gain the best peering | | Adversary is exclusively Western | Russia — read the trade-off section first | | Signals intelligence | Jurisdiction will not help. Encrypt. | ## Two mistakes that are easy to avoid The first is treating company registration as jurisdiction. Where a company is incorporated has little to do with which police force can enter the building the server is in. Physical location governs seizure; registration governs corporate law. The second is putting everything in one country. Whatever the legal properties, a single jurisdiction is a single point of failure. Keep your primary where it performs best and your encrypted backups somewhere with different legal exposure — that combination survives events that either location alone would not. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which jurisdiction is best overall? There is no overall best — the question is meaningless without an adversary. Iceland for speech, Switzerland for regulatory defensibility, Bulgaria for cost, the Netherlands for network. Pick from the threat model. ### Does incorporating offshore protect my server? No. Company registration governs corporate law. Physical server location governs which police force can enter the building and seize hardware. They are different questions and conflating them is the most common mistake. ### Should I split across jurisdictions? Yes, if you can. Primary where it performs best, encrypted backups somewhere with different legal exposure. A single jurisdiction is a single point of failure regardless of how good its laws are. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Those five steps eliminate the overwhelming majority of real-world compromises. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/guides/harden-a-new-vps **Updated:** 2026-07-17 ## What actually compromises servers Not zero-days. In practice: SSH password brute force against weak credentials, unpatched services left running for months, exposed admin panels with default passwords, and application vulnerabilities in whatever the operator installed. The list is boring and it has not changed in fifteen years. The checklist below is ordered by how much risk each step removes per minute spent. Do them in order and stop when you run out of patience — you will still have removed most of the risk. ## Step 1 — SSH keys only This single change removes the most common attack entirely. Generate an Ed25519 key, copy the public half up, then edit `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` to set `PasswordAuthentication no`, `PermitRootLogin prohibit-password` and `KbdInteractiveAuthentication no`. Test the key in a second terminal before closing the first. Locking yourself out is embarrassing and, on a machine with console access, entirely recoverable — but do it in the right order anyway. ## Step 2 — default-deny firewall nftables on modern Debian and Ubuntu, or firewalld on RHEL derivatives. Default-deny inbound, allow established and related, allow your SSH port, allow whatever the workload actually needs, and nothing else. The important discipline is that "nothing else" is the whole point. A firewall with a permissive rule added during debugging and never removed is a firewall that is not doing anything. - Default policy: drop inbound, accept outbound - Accept established, related - Accept loopback - Accept your SSH port, ideally rate-limited - Accept the workload ports, explicitly listed - Accept ICMP echo — do not break path MTU discovery ## Step 3 — automatic security updates `unattended-upgrades` on Debian and Ubuntu, `dnf-automatic` on RHEL derivatives, configured for security updates only. Most compromises exploit vulnerabilities that were patched months earlier. Enable automatic reboot in a maintenance window if your workload tolerates it. Kernel updates do nothing until the machine reboots, and a server with 400 days of uptime and eleven pending kernel CVEs is not a badge of honour. ## Step 4 — fail2ban, and a note on its real value With password authentication already disabled, fail2ban stops relatively few actual compromises. What it does is cut log noise dramatically, which matters because a log full of thousands of failed attempts is a log nobody reads, and unread logs are how real intrusions go unnoticed for weeks. The default sshd jail is enough. Add jails for whatever else you expose to the internet. ## Step 5 — reduce the attack surface Run `ss -tlnp` and look at what is listening. On a default install this usually includes services you did not know were running and do not need. Remove them rather than firewalling them — software that is not installed has no vulnerabilities. Bind services that only need local access to 127.0.0.1 rather than 0.0.0.0. A database listening on all interfaces behind a firewall is one misconfiguration away from being public. ## What to skip Changing the SSH port reduces log noise and stops exactly zero targeted attacks. Do it if you like, but do not count it as security. Port knocking adds fragility for a marginal gain. Intrusion-detection systems generate alerts nobody triages on a single server. If you want one more meaningful step after the five above, it is encrypted off-site backups in a different jurisdiction, tested by actually restoring them. Recovery capability is worth more than another layer of prevention. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is changing the SSH port worth it? For log noise, yes. For security, no — it stops opportunistic scanners and zero targeted attacks. Do it if you like the quieter logs, but do not count it as a control. ### Do I need fail2ban if I use SSH keys? For direct security, barely. For log hygiene, yes — thousands of failed attempts make logs unreadable, and unread logs are how real intrusions stay unnoticed. ### Should I enable automatic reboots? If the workload tolerates it, yes, in a maintenance window. Kernel patches do nothing until reboot. Long uptime with pending kernel CVEs is a liability, not an achievement. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

It protects against disk seizure and decommissioned-drive recovery. It does not protect a running server, whose keys are in RAM. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/guides/encrypt-a-server-disk **Updated:** 2026-07-09 ## Be precise about the threat it addresses Full-disk encryption protects data at rest. Once the machine is booted and the volume is unlocked, the key is in kernel memory and the filesystem is readable by anything with sufficient privilege — including, on a virtualised platform, a hypervisor operator who can dump guest RAM. So FDE defeats: hardware seizure while powered off, drives leaving the datacentre at end of life, and a cold copy of your virtual disk image. It does not defeat: an attacker on the running system, or a hypervisor-level adversary against a running VM. Those are the honest boundaries and any guide that skips them is selling comfort. ## The remote unlock problem On a laptop you type the passphrase at boot. On a server two thousand kilometres away, something has to supply it, and the obvious solutions all defeat the purpose — a keyfile on the same disk, or a key stored by the provider, means the encryption is decorative. There are two correct answers. On our dedicated and GPU servers, use the out-of-band console: IPMI gives you the boot screen and you type the passphrase like you would locally. On a VPS, put dropbear-initramfs in the initial ramdisk so the machine boots far enough to accept an SSH connection, you unlock over that connection, and boot continues. ## Setting it up The clean path is to encrypt at install time. Boot a custom ISO over virtual media, partition with an unencrypted `/boot` and a LUKS2 container for everything else, and install into it. Choose Argon2id as the key-derivation function — it is the LUKS2 default and it is memory-hard, which matters against brute force. Order LUKS at provision on any dedicated, GPU or storage plan and we do the partitioning; you enter the passphrase over the console at first boot and it never touches our infrastructure. There is no charge and no recovery path, which is the same statement said twice. - cryptsetup luksFormat --type luks2 --pbkdf argon2id /dev/sdaX - Unencrypted /boot, everything else inside the container - apt install dropbear-initramfs on a VPS for remote unlock - Add your SSH key to /etc/dropbear/initramfs/authorized_keys - Test a full reboot before you put anything on it - Keep a second key slot with a passphrase stored somewhere safe ## Two things people get wrong The first is having only one key slot. LUKS2 supports eight; use at least two, with the second holding a long random passphrase kept in a password manager. A single forgotten passphrase is unrecoverable, and unrecoverable means unrecoverable. The second is not testing a reboot before putting data on the machine. A misconfigured dropbear initramfs turns the first unplanned reboot into a machine that never comes back. Reboot it deliberately, twice, while it is still empty. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can my provider read an encrypted disk? Not at rest. On a running VM, a hypervisor operator can in principle read guest memory, which holds the key — that is true of every virtualisation provider. Bare metal with LUKS removes that interface. ### How do I unlock a server I cannot touch? Out-of-band IPMI console on dedicated and GPU servers, or dropbear-initramfs on a VPS — the machine boots far enough to accept SSH, you unlock over it, and boot continues. ### What if I forget the passphrase? The data is gone. There is no recovery, no backdoor and no provider-held key. Use at least two LUKS key slots, with the second holding a long random passphrase in a password manager. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Monero is the private option; Bitcoin is public and permanently linkable. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/guides/paying-for-hosting-with-crypto **Updated:** 2026-08-06 ## Choosing a coin If privacy is the reason you are paying in crypto, use Monero. Ring signatures, stealth addresses and confidential transactions hide sender, receiver and amount at the protocol level, with no optional mode to forget to enable. If speed and low fees matter more, Litecoin and TRON settle in a couple of minutes for cents. Stablecoins remove exchange-rate exposure entirely, which is useful for a long term. Bitcoin is the most widely held and works fine, provided you understand that its ledger is public and permanent. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Most private | Monero (XMR) — protocol-level, ~20 min | | Fastest and cheapest | Litecoin, TRON — ~2 min, cents | | No rate exposure | USDT, USDC, DAI | | Most widely held | Bitcoin — public ledger, 10–60 min | | Instant small amounts | Lightning — seconds, under $500 | ## The mistake that undoes everything Paying directly from an exchange account. The exchange knows who you are, has verified your identity, and the withdrawal creates a permanent record linking your legal name to the destination address. You have then paid in cryptocurrency and achieved less privacy than a card would have given you against most adversaries, because at least a card processor is not publishing to a public ledger. Withdraw to a wallet you control first, then pay from there. For Bitcoin, prefer a fresh address and avoid consolidating inputs that have different histories. For Monero this is far less critical, which is much of why it is the recommended option. ## Rate locks and confirmation When an invoice is created, the crypto amount is calculated from the current exchange rate and locked — ours for ninety minutes. Pay within that window and market movement is irrelevant. Miss it and the invoice expires, in which case a late payment is credited to your balance at the rate that applied when it confirmed rather than being lost. Set an adequate fee. A Bitcoin transaction with a fee chosen for an empty mempool during a busy period can sit unconfirmed for hours, and the rate lock does not wait. ## Balance top-ups If you run several servers, paying invoice by invoice creates more on-chain activity than necessary and is tedious. Top up your balance in one transaction and deploy from credit afterwards. One chain transaction covers many deployments, each subsequent server is instant because there is nothing to confirm, and there is less to correlate. Balance is held in USD at the top-up rate, so a later price move does not change what you have. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which coin is most private? Monero. Ring signatures, stealth addresses and confidential transactions hide sender, receiver and amount at the protocol level, with no optional mode to forget to switch on. ### Can I pay directly from Coinbase or Binance? You can, but it defeats the purpose. The exchange has verified your identity and the withdrawal permanently links your name to the destination. Withdraw to your own wallet first. ### What if the invoice expires before my payment confirms? It is credited to your account balance at the rate that applied when it confirmed, not lost. You can then deploy from balance immediately. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

A modern VPS on EPYC with NVMe matches bare metal for most workloads. Bare metal wins on p99 consistency, disk throughput and physical isolation. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/guides/vps-vs-dedicated-server **Updated:** 2026-06-27 ## The gap narrowed a lot A decade ago virtualisation cost you a visible chunk of performance. Today, with hardware-assisted virtualisation, SR-IOV networking and NVMe passthrough, a well-provisioned KVM guest runs within a few percent of the metal for most workloads. The reason to buy bare metal is rarely raw throughput any more. What virtualisation still costs you is consistency. Your average is fine; your p99 is at the mercy of what the other guests are doing. For a batch job nobody notices. For a database serving synchronous queries, or a validator whose rewards depend on propagation timing, that variance is the whole problem. ## Choose a VPS when You need under 64 GB of RAM. Your workload tolerates occasional latency variance. You want to resize without migrating. You want snapshots and rebuilds in seconds. You are running fewer than a dozen containers. You want to start at $4 and find out what you actually need. That covers the large majority of real workloads, including plenty that people buy bare metal for out of habit. ## Choose bare metal when You need predictable p99. You need more than 64 GB of RAM or more than 16 cores. You are running your own hypervisor, which nesting makes awkward. You need sustained disk throughput above what a shared NVMe pool will guarantee. You want LUKS with no hypervisor in the trust model. Or you need specific hardware — a GPU, a particular NIC, a TPM. The pricing crossover is around the CITADEL tier. Once a VPS costs $52 a month, a dedicated OUTPOST at $46 with an entire machine behind it is worth a serious look. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Sub-64 GB, tolerant of variance | VPS | | Database primary, low p99 target | Bare metal | | Own hypervisor | Bare metal | | Need to resize often | VPS | | Sustained heavy disk writes | Bare metal | | Cost crossover | ≈ $50/month | ## A third option people forget Several small VPSs across different jurisdictions often beat one large server. Failure domains are separate, legal exposure is spread, and you can lose an entire country without losing the service. Three VECTOR instances at $14 each in Bulgaria, Iceland and Panama cost less than one RAMPART and are far harder to take down in a single event. For anything that needs to stay up, that geometry is usually the right one. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is a VPS slower than a dedicated server? On average, barely — a few percent on modern hardware. On tail latency, meaningfully: your p99 depends on what other guests are doing. That distinction decides most real choices. ### When does bare metal become cheaper? Around $50/month. Once a VPS costs that, an entry dedicated server at $46 with the whole machine behind it is worth comparing directly. ### Can I run Docker on a VPS? Yes — full KVM virtualisation means your own kernel, so Docker, Podman and Kubernetes all run normally.

Its absence signals what the provider is prohibited from saying directly. The legal theory — that compelled speech is harder to order than prohibited speech — is untested in most jurisdictions. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/guides/what-a-warrant-canary-is **Updated:** 2026-07-04 ## The mechanism Some legal orders come with a gag: the provider must comply and must not disclose that the order exists. A canary inverts the problem. The provider regularly publishes a signed statement that no such order has been received. If one arrives, the statement is not renewed. Nothing is disclosed — something simply stops happening. The theory is that compelling a company to actively publish a false statement is legally harder than prohibiting it from disclosing a true one. In most jurisdictions this has never been tested, which is the first thing any honest page on the subject has to say. ## What makes a canary credible A cryptographic signature, so it cannot be forged. A fixed schedule, so absence is unambiguous rather than ambiguous. A recent external entropy source — a Bitcoin block hash or a newspaper headline — embedded in the text, proving the statement was signed after that date rather than pre-signed in bulk. Without the entropy source, a provider under duress could hand over a stack of pre-signed future canaries and the mechanism collapses. It is the single detail that separates a real canary from decoration, and most published canaries do not have it. - PGP signature with a published, verifiable key - Fixed publication schedule — ours is quarterly - Recent Bitcoin block hash embedded in the signed text - Explicit list of what the statement covers - Prior versions archived and independently mirrored ## Verifying ours Fetch the canary at `/canary`, import the key published at `/pgp`, and verify the signature with `gpg --verify`. Check the embedded block hash against a block explorer and confirm the block was mined on or after the stated date. Check the fingerprint against the copy on our contact page and against any independent mirror you can find. A key you fetched from the same server you are trying to verify proves less than you would like. ## What to do if it lapses Not panic, and not ignore it. Canaries lapse for boring reasons: the person who signs it is on holiday, the schedule slipped, someone forgot. A single missed cycle is weak evidence. A canary that lapses and is then quietly renewed with different wording is much stronger evidence, and so is a lapse the provider will not comment on. The correct response to a genuine lapse is to move data you cannot afford to have disclosed, not to assume the worst about everything. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do warrant canaries actually work? Legally, untested in most jurisdictions. The theory that compelled false speech is harder to order than prohibited true speech is plausible but unproven. Treat a canary as one signal, not as proof. ### How do I verify yours? Fetch /canary, import the key at /pgp, run gpg --verify, then check the embedded Bitcoin block hash on a block explorer to confirm it was signed after that date. ### What if a canary is not renewed? Treat one missed cycle as weak evidence — schedules slip for mundane reasons. A lapse followed by quietly changed wording, or a lapse the provider will not discuss, is much stronger. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Expect minutes of downtime, not hours. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/guides/migrating-a-server-between-jurisdictions **Updated:** 2026-06-16 ## Lower the TTL first, and do it early Forty-eight hours before the move, drop your DNS records to a 300-second TTL. Resolvers cache aggressively and a record still carrying a 24-hour TTL will keep sending traffic to the old address long after you have finished. This is the step people skip and then regret. It costs nothing and it converts a day of stragglers into five minutes. ## Sync in two passes Do a full rsync while the source is still live and serving. It takes as long as it takes and nothing is disrupted. Then stop the application, run a second rsync that transfers only what changed since the first, and cut over. The second pass is usually seconds. For databases, use replication rather than file copy: set the new server up as a replica, let it catch up, then promote it. Copying database files from a running server produces a corrupt copy often enough that it is not worth the risk. - T-48h — DNS TTL to 300 seconds - T-2h — full rsync, source still live - T-30m — database replica caught up - T-0 — stop app, final rsync, promote replica - T+5m — DNS updated, verify from several networks - T+72h — verify, then destroy the source ## What to check before you destroy anything Wait at least seventy-two hours. Watch the old server’s logs for traffic still arriving — that tells you which resolvers or hard-coded clients have not moved. Verify your backups restore from the new location, not just that they run. Check anything that referenced the old IP address directly: firewall allowlists on third-party services, API allowlists, monitoring checks, and any DNS record you forgot about. There is always one. ## The part specific to jurisdiction changes If the reason for the move is legal rather than technical, the old disk matters. Ask us to wipe it rather than simply terminating the server — we run a multi-pass overwrite on request and confirm when it is done. On an encrypted volume, destroying the LUKS header is faster and equally effective. Also re-check anything that hard-codes a country: TLS certificates are fine, but geo-restricted third-party APIs, payment integrations and compliance attestations may not be. It is better to find that out before the cutover than after. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much downtime should I expect? Minutes, if you lower the TTL 48 hours ahead and sync in two passes. The final rsync on a pre-synced dataset is usually seconds; DNS propagation at a 300-second TTL is five minutes. ### Can you migrate the server for me? We can move disk images between our own locations on request, which avoids re-syncing entirely. Application-level cutover is still yours, because only you know when it is safe. ### What happens to the old disk? Terminated volumes are wiped on reallocation as standard. If the move is legally motivated, ask for a multi-pass overwrite and we confirm when it completes. On LUKS volumes, destroying the header is faster and just as final. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Address reputation is determined by the abuse history of the surrounding range, which is why an enforced acceptable-use policy is a technical feature rather than a legal one. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/guides/ipv6-and-clean-address-space **Updated:** 2026-06-23 ## A routed /64 is not the same as one address Many providers hand out a single IPv6 address, which is technically valid and practically annoying. A routed /64 gives you 18 quintillion addresses to allocate as you like: one per container, one per virtual host, rotating addresses for outbound connections, a stable address for inbound. It is a free resource and using it removes several classes of problem. Every server here includes one, and a /48 is available on request at no charge if you are running something that needs to subnet. ## Reverse DNS for IPv6 The mechanism is the same as IPv4 but the notation is worse: PTR records live under `ip6.arpa` with the address written as nibbles in reverse order. Setting this by hand is unpleasant, so our panel takes the address and the hostname and generates the record. A matching PTR is mandatory if you send mail over IPv6 — the large mailbox providers reject on a missing or mismatched record more aggressively for IPv6 than for IPv4. ## What actually determines address reputation Not your traffic alone. Blocklists escalate: an individual address, then the /24 around it, then in bad cases the whole allocation. You inherit the behaviour of your neighbours, which is why the composition of a provider’s customer base is a technical property of the address you receive. This is the concrete reason we enforce an acceptable-use policy while asking nothing about who you are. Monitoring tells you the range is already dirty; removing the customers that dirty it is what keeps it clean. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | IPv6 included | routed /64, /48 free on request | | IPv6 rDNS | self-service, instant | | Additional IPv4 | $2.50/mo, separate /24 | | Blocklists monitored | 60+, every 6 hours | | Replacement if listed | same day, free | ## Keeping yours clean Do not send unsolicited mail, do not run open relays or open resolvers, do not let a compromised application send on your behalf. Most listings for legitimate operators come from a hacked web application sending spam, not from deliberate abuse. Monitor your own address on the main lists rather than waiting for a customer to tell you mail is bouncing. If you are listed for something that is not your traffic, tell us and we will replace the address the same day and pursue the delisting. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do I get IPv6 by default? Yes — a routed /64 on every plan, with self-service reverse DNS. A /48 is free on request if you need to subnet. ### Why is my new IP on a blocklist? Almost always a previous holder or a neighbouring address in the same /24. Tell us and we will replace it the same day at no charge and pursue the delisting ourselves. ### Can I set IPv6 reverse DNS? Yes, self-service and instant. The panel handles the ip6.arpa nibble notation for you.

Encrypted volumes yield nothing without the passphrase. The practical defence is architectural: encrypt at rest, keep backups in another jurisdiction, and hold no data you do not need. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/guides/what-happens-when-a-server-is-seized **Updated:** 2026-07-26 ## The realistic sequence It starts with a valid order from a court in the jurisdiction where the hardware sits. Our legal team reviews it for validity, scope and jurisdiction; overbroad or improperly served orders are challenged, which sometimes works and sometimes only buys time. If the order stands, what happens next depends on its scope. Most orders seek a copy of specific data. Physical removal of hardware is less common and usually accompanies a criminal investigation into the operator of a specific service. Notification to you depends entirely on whether the order includes a gag — if it does not, you hear from us the same day. ## What survives it An encrypted volume yields ciphertext. LUKS2 with Argon2id and a strong passphrase is not brute-forceable with any technology that exists, so a powered-off encrypted disk is, in practical terms, a very expensive brick. The critical qualifier is powered off. A running machine has the key in RAM. Cold-boot attacks against a running server are real, if fiddly, and a machine seized while running is a much worse outcome than one seized while off. ## Build so that it does not matter The goal is not preventing a seizure, which you cannot. It is making one survivable and uninformative. Encrypt at rest with a key we never hold. Keep backups in a jurisdiction that would not be reached by the same order. Hold the minimum data your service actually needs — data that does not exist cannot be seized. Distribute across jurisdictions so no single order takes everything. And know in advance how you would rebuild, because a seizure with a tested recovery plan is an outage and a seizure without one is the end of the project. - LUKS2 at rest, passphrase entered over console at boot - Backups in a jurisdiction not reachable by the same order - Minimum viable data retention in the application itself - Distributed architecture, no single-country dependency - A rebuild plan you have actually rehearsed ## What we do Review every order for validity and scope, and challenge what is challengeable. Provide only what the order compels, and nothing beyond it. Notify you unless legally prohibited. Publish counts in the quarterly transparency report. What we cannot do is refuse a valid order from a jurisdiction we operate in. Any provider claiming otherwise either has never received one or is not being straight with you. ## Frequently asked questions ### Would you tell me if my server were seized? Yes, unless the order carries a gag provision. Where we are permitted to notify, we do so the same day, with the order text where that is allowed. ### Can encrypted data be recovered by force? Not from a powered-off LUKS2 volume with a strong passphrase — no technology that exists brute-forces Argon2id at that strength. A machine seized while running is a different matter, because the key is in RAM. ### Do you challenge legal orders? Where there are grounds — improper service, wrong jurisdiction, overbroad scope. That sometimes succeeds and sometimes only buys time. We cannot refuse a valid order from a jurisdiction we operate in, and neither can anyone else. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Layer 3 and 4 scrubbing absorbs volumetric floods and is included on every Incognito VPS plan with 11 Tbps of capacity. Layer 7 attacks target the application and need request-level filtering, available as a $12 per month add-on. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/guides/ddos-protection-explained **Updated:** 2026-06-12 ## Two different problems with one name A volumetric attack tries to fill your pipe: UDP floods, amplification through open reflectors, SYN floods. The traffic is obviously malformed or obviously excessive, and filtering it is a capacity problem — you need more absorption than the attacker has generation. A layer-7 attack sends requests that look legitimate, individually, and simply sends far too many. Each one is a valid HTTP request that your application must actually process. No amount of bandwidth capacity helps, because the traffic is not the problem — the work it causes is. ## What a Tbps figure actually tells you Our 11 Tbps is scrubbing-network capacity: the total volume the filtering infrastructure can ingest and process. It is a real number and it is also the number every provider quotes because it is the most flattering one available. What matters more in practice is time to mitigation and false-positive rate. An attack detected in ninety seconds has already caused an outage. A filter that drops 5% of legitimate traffic has caused a different outage. Our detection triggers within about eight seconds of an anomaly and mitigation engages automatically, which is the number worth asking any provider for. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Scrubbing capacity | 11 Tbps | | Detection to mitigation | ~8 seconds | | Included on | every plan, always on | | Layer 7 filtering | $12/mo add-on | | Null-route policy | never — we filter, not blackhole | ## The null-route question you should ask every host When a cheap provider is attacked, the common response is to null-route the target address — dropping all traffic to it, attack and legitimate alike, until the attack stops. This protects the provider’s network and takes your service completely offline, which from your side is indistinguishable from the attack succeeding. We do not null-route customer addresses. We filter. It is more expensive to operate and it is the actual product. If you are comparing hosts, ask directly what happens when you are attacked, and ask for the null-route policy specifically. ## When you need the layer-7 add-on If you run a public web application that anyone can send requests to, and especially one with expensive endpoints — search, dynamic report generation, anything hitting a database hard. Also if you have been attacked before, because targets rarely get attacked only once. If you run a private service reachable only over WireGuard, or a VPN endpoint, or a Tor relay, the default L3/L4 protection is genuinely sufficient and the add-on would be waste. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is DDoS protection included? Yes, always-on L3/L4 scrubbing with 11 Tbps of capacity on every plan at no extra cost. Layer-7 request filtering is a $12/month add-on. ### Do you null-route servers under attack? No. We filter rather than blackhole. Null-routing protects the provider and takes your service fully offline — from your side, indistinguishable from the attack succeeding. ### Do I need layer-7 protection? If you run a public web application with expensive endpoints, or you have been attacked before, yes. For a VPN endpoint, Tor relay or private service behind WireGuard, the default is genuinely enough. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

That is a good idea and we have built the same interface. ## Where Incognito VPS differs - Operating since 2020 with a published, verifiable incident history - Eight jurisdictions including Bulgaria, with statute-level legal dossiers rather than adjectives - Storage-server line and 32 TB RAID-10 capacity they do not offer - Comparison pages that state what competitors do better — theirs do not ## Side by side | | Incognito VPS | ServPrivate | | --- | --- | --- | | Founded | 2020 | 2025 | | Headquarters | Distributed, 8 jurisdictions | Undisclosed | | Identity required | None | None | | Cryptocurrency | Native, 12 coins | Native | | Monero | Yes | Yes | | Locations | 16 | 7 | | Bare metal | Yes | Yes | | GPU compute | Yes | Yes | | Entry price | $4.00/mo | $7.50/mo | | Five Eyes country | No | No | Competitor figures taken from published pricing and documentation, last checked 2026-08-13. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the best alternative to ServPrivate? Incognito VPS runs in 16 locations versus ServPrivate's 7, and both require no identity. ServPrivate's agent commerce API is ahead of the market; we built the same interface. Incognito VPS starts at $4.00 per month, takes native crypto including Monero, and lists its legal-property locations. ### Is Incognito VPS cheaper than ServPrivate? Incognito VPS starts at $4.00 per month; ServPrivate at about $7.50. Compare specifications before choosing, since entry tiers differ a lot. ### How do I migrate from ServPrivate? Provision the target first, sync with rsync or a database replica, lower your DNS TTL 48 hours ahead, then switch over. Expect minutes of downtime rather than hours. Our migration guide walks through the full sequence. ### When should I stay with ServPrivate? ServPrivate's machine-readable commerce layer is ahead of the market: an agent card, an OpenAPI document and x402 settlement mean an AI agent can buy a server end to end. We agree and have built the same interface. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

It now runs 19 facilities across 16 locations under AS204287, has deployed over 41,800 servers, and publishes its full incident history including the outages. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/about **Updated:** 2026-08-13 ## Timeline - **2020-03-11** — Incognito VPS begins operating. Two racks in Sofia, one in Amsterdam, forty-one customers in the first month. Crypto-only from day one because the founders could not get a merchant account for an offshore hosting company, which turned out to be the best constraint we ever had. - **2020-06-02** — Reykjavík comes online. RVK-1 in Hafnarfjörður, chosen for the IMMI framework and the geothermal power. First location where we published a legal dossier with statute citations rather than adjectives — it became the template for all the others. - **2020-09-14** — Token-only accounts replace email signup. The email field is removed from the schema entirely, not made optional. Existing accounts migrated to tokens over six weeks. This is the change that defined what the company is. - **2021-01-20** — AS204287 announced. Our own autonomous system number and first /22 allocation. Owning address space is what makes the clean-IP guarantee possible — you cannot promise the reputation of a range you rent from someone else. - **2021-04-08** — Zürich and Panama City. ZRH-2 and PTY-1 open within three weeks of each other, adding a dual-criminality jurisdiction and a no-MLAT jurisdiction to the map at the same time. - **2021-07-16** — First warrant canary published. Quarterly, PGP-signed, with the current Bitcoin block hash embedded so that it cannot be pre-signed in bulk. Unbroken since. - **2021-11-03** — AMS-3 core switch failure. A failed line card took 40% of Amsterdam offline for 3 hours 12 minutes. The spare was in the wrong facility. We published the post-mortem the same week and now hold spares for every chassis on site at every location. - **2022-02-28** — Chișinău and Bucharest. KIV-1 and OTP-1 open. Moldova gives a non-EU jurisdiction at EU latency; Romania gives the strongest anti-retention court precedent in the union. - **2022-06-14** — Windows RDP line launches. Desktop-class Core i9 and Ryzen 9 hosts rather than server silicon, because RDP responsiveness is single-thread bound and a 5.7 GHz boost is what makes a session feel local. - **2022-10-05** — First transparency report. Legal requests by jurisdiction, how many produced data, and what that data consisted of. The answer to the last question has been "a token hash and a balance" every quarter since, because that is all there is. - **2023-03-22** — Moscow opens. MOW-2, with the most heavily caveated location page on the site. Russia removes Western legal reach and adds Russian legal reach including mandatory SORM interception. We say so on the page rather than in the fine print. - **2023-06-30** — GPU line launches. RTX 4090 first, in Amsterdam and Reykjavík. Iceland turned out to be the right answer for long training runs — free ambient cooling most of the year and entirely renewable power. - **2024-01-17** — Storage servers. Four to thirty-two terabytes of RAID-10 with unmetered transfer. Built because customers kept buying dedicated servers purely for the disk and paying for cores they never used. - **2024-05-09** — Sofia power event. A utility failure plus a generator that failed to transfer took SOF-1 down for 47 minutes. Automatic SLA credits were applied to every affected account without anyone having to ask. Transfer switches are now tested monthly under load rather than quarterly at idle. - **2024-11-12** — H100 SXM5 capacity. Hopper-class GPUs in Reykjavík and Amsterdam, including a four-card NVLink configuration. Still the only no-KYC H100 capacity we are aware of. - **2025-04-02** — Machine-readable commerce layer. Agent card, OpenAPI 3.1 document and an MCP endpoint. Removing the identity layer for privacy reasons had, without anyone planning it, produced the cleanest agent-purchasable checkout on the market. - **2025-09-18** — IPv6 /48 allocations become free. Every server already shipped with a routed /64. Customers running container fleets kept asking for more, so we stopped charging for the /48. - **2026-02-24** — Eighth jurisdiction: Sofia expansion and full LUKS-at-provision. SOF-1 doubles in capacity and LUKS2 keyed at first boot becomes available at provision on every dedicated, GPU and storage plan at no charge. ## Network | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Founded | 2020-03-11 | | Locations | 16 | | Facilities | 19 | | Autonomous system | AS204287 | | IPv4 prefixes | 14 | | Edge capacity | 4.2 Tbps | | DDoS scrubbing | 11 Tbps | | Servers deployed | 41,800 | | Uptime, 12 months | 99.987% | --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Access is by a single token issued at checkout, which cannot be recovered if lost. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/faq **Updated:** 2026-08-13 ### What is Incognito VPS? An offshore hosting provider operating since March 2020 in eight jurisdictions. We sell Linux VPS, dedicated servers, GPU compute, Windows RDP and storage servers, with no identity requirement and crypto-only settlement. ### Do I need to give you an email address? No. There is no email field at signup, at checkout or in the account record. You receive a 20-character access token at checkout, shown once, and that token is the account. ### What happens if I lose my token? The account becomes permanently unreachable. We store only an Argon2id hash and cannot recover it. Servers run until the paid term expires and then terminate. Write the token down — the checkout flow warns you three times. ### Which cryptocurrencies do you accept? Twelve: Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum, Tether, USD Coin, Litecoin, TRON, Solana, BNB, Dogecoin, Toncoin and Dai. Lightning is supported for invoices under $500. ### Do you accept credit cards or PayPal? No. A card rail would bring chargeback liability, which would force identity collection, which would defeat the product. Crypto-only is structural rather than stylistic. ### Is there a refund policy? Seven days on first orders, credited to your account balance rather than refunded on-chain, since we cannot send funds to an address we have no way to verify belongs to you. Balance can be spent on anything we sell. ### How fast is deployment? VPS, RDP and GPU: 55 seconds median from confirmed payment. Dedicated servers: 15 to 90 minutes depending on configuration. Payment confirmation itself takes 20 minutes for Monero and 10 to 60 for on-chain Bitcoin. ### Which location should I choose? Work backwards from your adversary. Bulgaria or Moldova for cost, Amsterdam for network, Switzerland or Panama for legal distance from the EU, Iceland for speech-related work. Every location page publishes the statutes behind its claims. ### Do you keep logs? No traffic, connection or DNS logs. No NetFlow, no packet capture, no customer IP history. Aggregate per-port bandwidth counters in five-minute buckets exist for billing and hold a byte count and a timestamp, nothing more. ### Can you be compelled to identify me? A valid order can compel disclosure of what we hold: a token hash, a USD balance, a list of server IDs and a creation timestamp. There is no name, email or payment identity because those columns do not exist. ### What is not allowed? Child sexual abuse material, malware command-and-control, phishing, bulk unsolicited email, attacks on third-party systems, and content criminal in the jurisdiction the server sits in. Reports go to abuse@incognitovps.com and are actioned by a person. ### Do you ignore DMCA notices? We read every notice. The DMCA has no legal force at our locations so we do not action it as a statutory obligation. Notices identifying real infringement under applicable local law are forwarded to the customer with a response window. ### Are the IP addresses clean? Every address is checked against 60+ blocklists before allocation and every six hours after. If yours is listed for traffic that is not yours, we replace it the same day at no charge and pursue delisting ourselves. ### Is DDoS protection included? Yes, always-on L3/L4 scrubbing with 11 Tbps capacity on every plan. We filter rather than null-route — your address is never blackholed. Layer-7 filtering is a $12/month add-on. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is Incognito VPS? An offshore hosting provider operating since March 2020 in eight jurisdictions.

Twelve: Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum, Tether, USD Coin, Litecoin, TRON, Solana, BNB, Dogecoin, Toncoin and Dai. Lightning is supported for invoices under $500. ### Do you accept credit cards or PayPal? No. A card rail would bring chargeback liability, which would force identity collection, which would defeat the product. Crypto-only is structural rather than stylistic. ### Is there a refund policy? Seven days on first orders, credited to your account balance rather than refunded on-chain, since we cannot send funds to an address we have no way to verify belongs to you. Balance can be spent on anything we sell. ### How fast is deployment? VPS, RDP and GPU: 55 seconds median from confirmed payment. Dedicated servers: 15 to 90 minutes depending on configuration. Payment confirmation itself takes 20 minutes for Monero and 10 to 60 for on-chain Bitcoin. ### Which location should I choose? Work backwards from your adversary. Bulgaria or Moldova for cost, Amsterdam for network, Switzerland or Panama for legal distance from the EU, Iceland for speech-related work. Every location page publishes the statutes behind its claims. ### Do you keep logs? No traffic, connection or DNS logs. No NetFlow, no packet capture, no customer IP history. Aggregate per-port bandwidth counters in five-minute buckets exist for billing and hold a byte count and a timestamp, nothing more. ### Can you be compelled to identify me? A valid order can compel disclosure of what we hold: a token hash, a USD balance, a list of server IDs and a creation timestamp. There is no name, email or payment identity because those columns do not exist. ### What is not allowed? Child sexual abuse material, malware command-and-control, phishing, bulk unsolicited email, attacks on third-party systems, and content criminal in the jurisdiction the server sits in. Reports go to abuse@incognitovps.com and are actioned by a person. ### Do you ignore DMCA notices? We read every notice. The DMCA has no legal force at our locations so we do not action it as a statutory obligation. Notices identifying real infringement under applicable local law are forwarded to the customer with a response window. ### Are the IP addresses clean? Every address is checked against 60+ blocklists before allocation and every six hours after. If yours is listed for traffic that is not yours, we replace it the same day at no charge and pursue delisting ourselves. ### Is DDoS protection included? Yes, always-on L3/L4 scrubbing with 11 Tbps capacity on every plan. We filter rather than null-route — your address is never blackholed. Layer-7 filtering is a $12/month add-on. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

A PGP key is published at /pgp, and Matrix, XMPP and an onion service are available. There is no phone number, because there is no identity layer to attach one to. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/contact **Updated:** 2026-08-13 ## How to reach us There is no phone number and no live chat widget. Both would require an identity layer we deliberately do not have, and a chat widget is a third-party script on a site that has none. Everything below is monitored by people. Operations questions are usually answered within a few hours; abuse reports faster. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Operations | ops@incognitovps.com | | Abuse reports | abuse@incognitovps.com | | Press | press@incognitovps.com | | Matrix | https://matrix.to/#/@ops:incognitovps.com | | XMPP | support@incognitovps.com (OMEMO) | | PGP fingerprint | 4F2A 9C31 8E77 B0D6 5A14 C982 7E3B 61F0 A5D4 2288 | ## Before you write If you have an active server, include the server ID rather than the token — we never need your token and will never ask for it. Anyone asking you for it is not us. If you are asking whether we permit something, describe the workload rather than the category. “I want to run a Tor middle relay on a 4 GB plan in Moldova” gets a useful answer in one exchange; “do you allow Tor” takes three. ## Onion service The site is reachable at `http://incognitovpsx7k3m9qx4vzj5cdw2ye6bpaqrlnfg8osu2mkdyid.onion`. It serves the same content over the same infrastructure, and no additional logging exists on that path — the same amount as on the clearnet path, which is none. ## Questions we get asked before buying Whether an address is clean for a specific purpose — ask, and we will check a candidate against the full blocklist set before allocating it. Mail senders in particular should always ask first. Whether we can open port 25 — yes, after a short conversation about what you are sending, usually within a couple of hours. Whether a specific hardware configuration is available — often yes, including things not on the public catalogue. Dual-socket, unusual disk topologies and multi-GPU nodes are all buildable. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Documented here because latency degradation is an incident even when nothing goes down. - **SLA credited:** Not applicable ### 2025-10-27 — Hypervisor kernel panic (Amsterdam) - **Duration:** 14 minutes - **Impact:** 38 VPS instances on one host rebooted unexpectedly. - **Cause:** A kernel bug in the 6.11 NVMe driver triggered under a specific IO pattern. - **What changed:** Fleet-wide rollback to 6.10 LTS, then a staged upgrade to 6.12 after four weeks of soak testing. - **SLA credited:** Yes, automatically ### 2025-06-03 — Storage array degraded (Zürich) - **Duration:** 0 minutes - **Impact:** No customer impact. Two drives failed within an hour in the same RAID-10 array. - **Cause:** A bad drive batch. The array survived because the failures were in different mirror pairs — luck, not design. - **What changed:** Entire batch replaced proactively across all locations. Drive sourcing now deliberately mixes manufacturing lots. - **SLA credited:** Not applicable ### 2024-05-09 — Utility failure with failed generator transfer (Sofia) - **Duration:** 47 minutes - **Impact:** Complete SOF-1 outage for 47 minutes. - **Cause:** Utility power failed and the automatic transfer switch did not engage. UPS carried the load for 11 minutes before depletion. - **What changed:** Transfer switches now tested monthly under full load rather than quarterly at idle. Second generator commissioned. - **SLA credited:** Yes, automatically ### 2021-11-03 — Core switch line-card failure (Amsterdam) - **Duration:** 192 minutes - **Impact:** 40% of AMS-3 unreachable for 3 hours 12 minutes. - **Cause:** A line card failed and the spare was held at a different facility. - **What changed:** Spares for every chassis are now held on site at every location. This is the worst outage in our history and the reason for that policy. - **SLA credited:** Yes, automatically --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Customers running container fleets kept asking for more, so we stopped charging for the /48. ### 2025-04-02 — Machine-readable commerce layer Agent card, OpenAPI 3.1 document and an MCP endpoint. Removing the identity layer for privacy reasons had, without anyone planning it, produced the cleanest agent-purchasable checkout on the market. ### 2024-11-12 — H100 SXM5 capacity Hopper-class GPUs in Reykjavík and Amsterdam, including a four-card NVLink configuration. Still the only no-KYC H100 capacity we are aware of. ### 2024-05-09 — Sofia power event A utility failure plus a generator that failed to transfer took SOF-1 down for 47 minutes. Automatic SLA credits were applied to every affected account without anyone having to ask. Transfer switches are now tested monthly under load rather than quarterly at idle. ### 2024-01-17 — Storage servers Four to thirty-two terabytes of RAID-10 with unmetered transfer. Built because customers kept buying dedicated servers purely for the disk and paying for cores they never used. ### 2023-06-30 — GPU line launches RTX 4090 first, in Amsterdam and Reykjavík. Iceland turned out to be the right answer for long training runs — free ambient cooling most of the year and entirely renewable power. ### 2023-03-22 — Moscow opens MOW-2, with the most heavily caveated location page on the site. Russia removes Western legal reach and adds Russian legal reach including mandatory SORM interception. We say so on the page rather than in the fine print. ### 2022-10-05 — First transparency report Legal requests by jurisdiction, how many produced data, and what that data consisted of. The answer to the last question has been "a token hash and a balance" every quarter since, because that is all there is. ### 2022-06-14 — Windows RDP line launches Desktop-class Core i9 and Ryzen 9 hosts rather than server silicon, because RDP responsiveness is single-thread bound and a 5.7 GHz boost is what makes a session feel local. ### 2022-02-28 — Chișinău and Bucharest KIV-1 and OTP-1 open. Moldova gives a non-EU jurisdiction at EU latency; Romania gives the strongest anti-retention court precedent in the union. ### 2021-11-03 — AMS-3 core switch failure A failed line card took 40% of Amsterdam offline for 3 hours 12 minutes. The spare was in the wrong facility. We published the post-mortem the same week and now hold spares for every chassis on site at every location. ### 2021-07-16 — First warrant canary published Quarterly, PGP-signed, with the current Bitcoin block hash embedded so that it cannot be pre-signed in bulk. Unbroken since. ### 2021-04-08 — Zürich and Panama City ZRH-2 and PTY-1 open within three weeks of each other, adding a dual-criminality jurisdiction and a no-MLAT jurisdiction to the map at the same time. ### 2021-01-20 — AS204287 announced Our own autonomous system number and first /22 allocation. Owning address space is what makes the clean-IP guarantee possible — you cannot promise the reputation of a range you rent from someone else. ### 2020-09-14 — Token-only accounts replace email signup The email field is removed from the schema entirely, not made optional. Existing accounts migrated to tokens over six weeks. This is the change that defined what the company is. ### 2020-06-02 — Reykjavík comes online RVK-1 in Hafnarfjörður, chosen for the IMMI framework and the geothermal power. First location where we published a legal dossier with statute citations rather than adjectives — it became the template for all the others. ### 2020-03-11 — Incognito VPS begins operating Two racks in Sofia, one in Amsterdam, forty-one customers in the first month. Crypto-only from day one because the founders could not get a merchant account for an offshore hosting company, which turned out to be the best constraint we ever had. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

There is no ticket robot in front of that address. Include the IP address or hostname, a clear description of the conduct, timestamps with a timezone, and any logs or headers you can share. A report we can act on immediately is worth ten that require correspondence first. ## What happens next Child sexual abuse material and active attack infrastructure are suspended immediately, without notice to the customer and without waiting for a response. There is no version of this where we wait. Everything else is forwarded to the customer with the full report text and a response window of at least 72 hours. Most reports are resolved by the customer in that window — a compromised web application sending spam is far more common than deliberate abuse, and telling the operator is usually all that is required. Where the customer does not respond or the conduct continues, the server is suspended. Repeat breaches end the relationship. ## Copyright notices The US DMCA has no direct legal force in any of our eight jurisdictions, so we do not action it as a statutory obligation. We do read every notice. A notice that identifies a specific work, a specific URL, and a claimant with standing under the law of the jurisdiction the server is in is forwarded to the customer with a response window like any other report. A bulk automated filing citing 17 U.S.C. §512 at a server in Chișinău receives a reply identifying the applicable jurisdiction. Our acceptable use policy prohibits distributing content you do not have the right to distribute, and we enforce it. Jurisdiction changes which court hears a claim; it does not make infringement lawful. ## For law enforcement Requests should be sent to `abuse@incognitovps.com` with “LEGAL” in the subject, or via the PGP key at /pgp. We review every request for validity, scope and jurisdiction, and we challenge those that are improperly served or overbroad. What a valid order can produce is an Argon2id token hash, a USD balance, a list of server identifiers and a creation timestamp. There is no name, email address, phone number or payment identity, because no such fields exist in the schema. We would rather tell you that in advance than have you spend three weeks obtaining an order for nothing. Emergency requests involving imminent risk to life are handled out of band and quickly.

Accounts are token-based with no identity requirement, payment is in cryptocurrency and non-reversible, and either party may terminate with notice. Nothing here creates an obligation for you to identify yourself. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/legal/terms **Updated:** 2026-08-13 ## 1. Who these terms are between These terms govern your use of hosting services supplied by Incognito VPS Infrastructure OÜ (“Incognito VPS”, “we”). By deploying a server you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not deploy a server — there is nothing else you need to do, because there is no account to close. We may update these terms. Material changes are announced on the changelog at least thirty days before they take effect, and the previous version stays available at a dated URL. Continuing to use the service after that date is acceptance. ## 2. Your account is a token There is no username, no password and no email address. At checkout you receive a 20-character access token which is the sole credential for the account. Anyone holding that token controls the servers under it. We store only an Argon2id hash of the token. We cannot recover it, reset it, or verify your identity by any other means. If you lose it, the account becomes permanently unreachable and any servers under it run until their paid term expires and are then terminated. This is a deliberate property of the design and it is not something we can make an exception for. ## 3. Payment All payment is in cryptocurrency. We do not accept cards, bank transfers or any fiat instrument. Payments settle on-chain and are final — there is no chargeback mechanism, which is precisely what allows us to operate without identity verification. Invoices carry a ninety-minute rate lock. Underpayments within 2% are accepted automatically. Overpayments and late payments are credited to your account balance in USD at the rate that applied when the payment confirmed. Balance does not expire and is spendable on anything in the catalogue. Services renew automatically from balance where balance is sufficient. Where it is not, the service is suspended at term end and terminated after a further seven days. ## 4. What we provide We provide the resources described in the plan you bought, in the jurisdiction you selected, subject to the service level agreement. We provide 99.9% monthly uptime with automatic service credits below that threshold. We do not provide managed administration, backup of your data, or any guarantee that your workload is fit for purpose. The server is yours to run. ## 5. What you must not do The acceptable use policy is incorporated into these terms by reference and forms part of them. In summary: no child sexual abuse material, no malware infrastructure, no phishing, no bulk unsolicited email, no attacks against third-party systems, and nothing criminal in the jurisdiction the server sits in. You are responsible for the content and conduct of everything on your server, including anything placed there by a third party you granted access to. ## 6. Suspension and termination We may suspend a server immediately and without notice where it is distributing child sexual abuse material, running active attack infrastructure, or where a valid legal order requires it. Every other enforcement action begins with notice to you and a response window of at least 72 hours. You may terminate at any time from the account panel. Terminated servers are wiped on reallocation; a multi-pass overwrite is available on request at no charge. We may terminate for repeated policy breach, for non-payment, or on thirty days’ notice for any reason. Where we terminate without cause, unused prepaid balance is refunded to an address you nominate. ## 7. Liability Our aggregate liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid us in the three months preceding the claim. We are not liable for lost profits, lost data, or consequential loss of any kind. This is the standard limitation and we state it plainly rather than burying it. If your workload cannot tolerate that exposure, keep backups elsewhere — which you should be doing regardless of who hosts you. ## 8. Governing law These terms are governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which Incognito VPS Infrastructure OÜ is established. Disputes concerning a specific server may alternatively be brought in the jurisdiction where that server is located. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under mandatory consumer law in your own jurisdiction. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

We do not ask who you are; we do enforce what the servers are used for. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/legal/acceptable-use **Updated:** 2026-08-13 ## The principle We do not ask who you are. We do enforce what the servers are used for. Those two positions are compatible, and holding both is what makes this service usable rather than a liability. The practical reason is address reputation. Our IPv4 ranges stay deliverable because we remove the customers who make them undeliverable. A provider that accepts everything ends up with address space that nothing accepts. ## Absolutely prohibited — immediate suspension without notice These are suspended the moment they are confirmed, with no notice period and no appeal before action: - Child sexual abuse material, in any form, without exception. - Malware command-and-control, ransomware panels, exploit kits and botnet infrastructure. - Phishing sites, credential-harvesting pages and brand-impersonation infrastructure. - Active attacks against third-party systems: DDoS, intrusion attempts, credential stuffing, mass vulnerability scanning. - Distribution of material constituting a serious criminal offence in the jurisdiction hosting the server. ## Prohibited — notice and a response window These receive the full report text and at least 72 hours to respond before any action is taken. Most are resolved by the customer without further involvement from us. - Bulk unsolicited email, open mail relays and open DNS resolvers. - Distributing content you do not have the right to distribute. - Running services that generate sustained abuse reports from third parties. - Resource use that materially degrades service for other customers on shared hardware. - Collecting personal data in breach of law applicable to you or to the data subjects. ## Explicitly permitted Stated because these are commonly refused elsewhere and people ask. - Tor middle relays, bridges and onion services. Exit relays are permitted after a conversation, so we can place them appropriately. - VPN and proxy endpoints of any protocol, including anti-censorship transports. - Adult content that is legal in the hosting jurisdiction and involves only consenting adults. - Cryptocurrency nodes, validators, mining pools and trading infrastructure. - Security research, including operating honeypots and hosting proof-of-concept code. - Political speech, journalism, whistleblowing platforms and material critical of any government. - Public-web data collection conducted at a reasonable rate. ## How we find out Reactively, and only reactively. We do not inspect traffic, scan customer disks, or log connections. Enforcement is driven by third-party reports sent to our abuse address and by blocklist signals against our own address space. There is no automated content scanning of customer workloads and no plan to introduce any. What runs on your server is not visible to us and we prefer it that way. ## Reporting Send reports to `abuse@incognitovps.com`. Include the address or hostname, the specific conduct, timestamps with a timezone, and any logs you can share. Reports are read by a person, usually within a few hours. Automated volume filings citing US statute at non-US servers receive a reply identifying the applicable jurisdiction, because that is the accurate response rather than a dismissive one. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Catalogue: https://incognitovps.com/pricing.md · API: https://incognitovps.com/openapi.json · Index: https://incognitovps.com/llms.txt ============================================================================== # Privacy policy > Incognito VPS stores an Argon2id token hash, an account balance, server identifiers and a creation timestamp. No name, email, phone, address or payment identity is retained, because those columns do not exist in the schema. No traffic, connection or DNS logs are kept. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/legal/privacy **Updated:** 2026-08-13 ## What we store The complete list. If a field is not here, it is not in the database — not nullable, absent. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Account | Argon2id token hash, USD balance, created-at timestamp | | Server | server ID, plan SKU, location, term dates, OS image | | Payment | invoice ID, amount, coin, confirmed-at timestamp | | Network | aggregate per-port byte counters in 5-minute buckets | ## What we do not store Also complete, and the more useful half of the document. - Your name, email address, phone number or postal address — no such columns exist. - Any payment identity. On-chain settlement means no processor holds a record linking you to us. - Connection logs, NetFlow, sFlow or packet capture at any point on the network. - DNS query logs. Our resolvers run with query logging disabled. - Web server access logs on this site. Page views are counted in aggregate with no address retention. - Console session recordings, keystrokes or screenshots. - Customer IP history at any layer. ## Why the bandwidth counters exist Per-port byte counters in five-minute buckets are how metered plans are billed and how we notice a link saturating. Each record holds a virtual interface identifier, a byte count and a timestamp. There are no addresses, no ports and no payload, so they cannot reconstruct who communicated with what. We call this out because a provider claiming literally zero telemetry is either mistaken or unable to run a network. The claim worth making is not “we record nothing” — it is “here is exactly what we record and why it cannot identify you”. ## This website No cookies are set until you begin a checkout, and that cookie holds only a cart identifier with a 24-hour lifetime. There is no analytics of any kind: no Google Analytics, no tag manager, no session recording, no heatmaps. The site makes zero third-party requests. Fonts are self-hosted, there is no CDN outside our own network, and no external script is loaded on any page. You can verify this in your browser’s network tab in about ten seconds, and we would encourage you to. ## Legal requests We review every request for validity, scope and jurisdiction, and challenge those that are improperly served, overbroad or from a jurisdiction with no authority over the server. Where a request is valid we comply with what it compels and nothing more. What compliance produces is an Argon2id token hash, a USD balance, a list of server identifiers and a creation timestamp. Quarterly counts by jurisdiction are published in the transparency report, and the warrant canary is signed and rotated each quarter. Where we are permitted to notify you, we do, the same day. ## Your data on the server Whatever you put on your server is yours and we do not access it. On an unencrypted VPS a hypervisor operator technically could — that is true of every virtualisation provider that exists, and any host claiming otherwise is being imprecise. If that matters, choose LUKS2 at provision. You enter the passphrase over the console at first boot, it never transits our infrastructure, and we cannot recover it. That is the only arrangement that does not require trusting us, which is why we offer it at no charge. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Below that, service credits are applied automatically without a claim: 10% of the monthly fee below 99.9%, 25% below 99.5%, 50% below 99% and 100% below 95%. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/legal/sla **Updated:** 2026-08-13 ## The commitment Incognito VPS guarantees 99.9% network availability per calendar month, per server. Availability is measured as the server being reachable at its primary address from at least two of three independent external monitoring points. Trailing twelve-month actual across all locations is 99.987%. The full incident history including root causes is published on the status page, and that page is the honest version of this one. ## Credits Credits are applied automatically to your account balance within five business days of month end. You do not need to notice, claim, or ask — a service credit that requires a claim is a credit most customers never receive, which is usually the point of the design. | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | 99.90% – 99.99% | no credit (within SLA) | | 99.50% – 99.89% | 10% of monthly fee | | 99.00% – 99.49% | 25% of monthly fee | | 95.00% – 98.99% | 50% of monthly fee | | Below 95.00% | 100% of monthly fee | ## What is excluded Stated specifically rather than as a general escape clause: - Scheduled maintenance announced at least 72 hours ahead, capped at 4 hours per month. - Downtime caused by your own configuration, software or resource exhaustion. - Suspension under the acceptable use policy or a valid legal order. - Failures of third-party networks outside our announced address space. - Force majeure, which we interpret narrowly — a failed generator transfer is our problem, not force majeure. ## What is not excluded DDoS attacks against you are not an exclusion. Mitigation is part of the service and downtime during an attack counts against the SLA. Providers that null-route customers under attack and then exclude it from the SLA are selling you something other than what you think. Hardware failure is not an exclusion. Nor is an upstream transit failure inside our own announced space, nor a facility power event — the Sofia outage in May 2024 was credited in full. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.

Balance is spendable on anything in the catalogue and does not expire. **Source:** https://incognitovps.com/legal/refunds **Updated:** 2026-08-13 ## Seven days on first orders Your first order with Incognito VPS can be refunded within 7 days for any reason. Ask from the account panel or by email with your order reference. The refund is credited to your account balance rather than sent on-chain. This is not an attempt to keep your money — it is that we have no verified address to send funds to, and sending crypto to an address supplied by whoever currently holds a token would be an obvious way to steal from customers. Balance does not expire and is spendable on anything we sell. ## On-chain refunds Where an on-chain refund is genuinely required — we terminated without cause, or we failed to deliver — we will send to an address you nominate, after a verification step appropriate to the amount. This is slower and more manual than the balance route by design. ## What is not refundable Dedicated servers after delivery, because the hardware is allocated to you specifically and cannot be re-sold as new. GPU plans after the first 48 hours, for the same reason. Terms beyond the first month on any plan. Balance top-ups, which are already fungible credit. Service credits under the SLA are separate from this policy, are applied automatically, and do not consume your refund window. ## Overpayments If you send more than an invoice requires, the excess is credited to balance automatically at the confirmed rate. If you pay an expired invoice, the full amount is credited to balance rather than lost. Nothing sent to us is ever simply absorbed. --- Incognito VPS — Offshore VPS, bare-metal and GPU servers in 16 locations, 8 of them chosen for their legal properties.
