Run your own benchmark

Deploy anything, run whatever suite you trust, and if the numbers disappoint you, ask for your money back within 72 hours. No form, no reason required.

Benchmarks are honest and therefore boring: they were run on production hosts carrying real customer load, not on an empty box at 3 a.m.

Footprint

31 countries. 42 sites. One flat price.

We do not charge a regional premium. A server in São Paulo costs the same as one in Frankfurt — the only thing that changes is the round trip.

Identity

What we ask for, and what we never will

What we ask for

  • 01Email address
  • 02Cryptocurrency, settled in minutes

An email address that reaches you, and a payment. That is the complete list.

What we never ask for

  • 01Government identity documents
  • 02Selfies or liveness checks
  • 03Utility bills or proof of address
  • 04Phone number verification
  • 05A card on file or a billing name
  • 06Social accounts or referrals

Why we work this way

Data you never collect cannot be leaked, subpoenaed, sold or lost. We keep an email address, an invoice, and 72 hours of connection logs for abuse handling. Everything else is deleted at termination, and we publish what we hold in the privacy notice.

Where the line sits

No KYC is not no rules. Phishing, spam, botnet command-and-control, CSAM and outbound attacks get terminated without refund and without appeal. Our acceptable use policy is two pages long and we mean all of it.

Payment

Cryptocurrency, settled in minutes

Checkout runs on OxaPay. Pick an asset, send the exact amount, and the server provisions on the first network confirmation.

Timeline

A small company that sells servers

  1. 2014

    Four racks in Frankfurt, then Amsterdam

    Two engineers, a purchase order for eight Opteron hosts, and a decision not to ask customers for documents. The first instance was sold in November for €4 a month on a six-month term; Amsterdam followed six weeks later.

  2. 2019

    Crypto becomes the only way to pay

    Card processing is retired after a fourth acquirer demands customer identity documents. Payments move entirely to crypto, and the last stored personal data is deleted.

  3. 2023

    Genoa, DDR5, Gen4 NVMe

    The current hardware standard lands. Single-thread throughput rises 38% against the previous generation and storage latency halves.

  4. 2026

    Console v4

    A full rebuild of the customer console, the fifteen-language site you are reading, and per-second resource graphs on every instance.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Twelve years of support tickets, distilled. If yours is not here, the help centre has the runbooks and support answers in about eleven minutes.

View all
01Do I really not have to verify my identity?
Correct. Ordering requires an email address and a payment, and that is the whole list. There is no document upload, no selfie, no phone verification, no address check and no card on file. We have never run identity verification and we do not plan to start — the cheapest way to protect customer documents is to never hold any.
02What do you actually store about me?
Your email address, your invoices, the configuration of your servers, and 72 hours of NetFlow-level connection metadata used only for abuse investigation. Nothing else. When you close the account, all of it is erased within 24 hours except invoices, which accounting law makes us keep for ten years — those hold an invoice name of your choosing and no verified identity.
03Why can I only buy six or twelve months at a time?
Because it is what makes the price possible. Monthly billing means churn, idle capacity kept warm for people who might come back, payment retries and support load. Selling in terms removes all of it, and lets us buy hardware against known demand rather than a forecast. The saving goes straight into the rate card — a twelve-month Base works out around 20% below the six-month rate, and both are below what monthly billing would cost us to offer.
04How do I pay?
Cryptocurrency, through OxaPay. Forty-two assets are accepted, including Bitcoin, Monero, Litecoin, Ethereum, TON, Solana, Tron and USDT on several chains. You are quoted in euros, the invoice locks a rate for the payment window, and provisioning begins on the first network confirmation — typically under two minutes on Monero or Litecoin.
05What if the server is not what I expected?
Ask for a refund within 72 hours of provisioning and you get the whole amount back, in the asset you paid with, at the rate on the day of purchase. No form, no reason, no retention call. Run every benchmark you like inside that window — that is precisely what it is for.
06How can it be this cheap and still be fast?
Three reasons, none of them exciting. We buy last-generation-plus-one EPYC hosts outright instead of renting capacity from a hyperscaler. We sell terms, so a host is full the day it is racked instead of three months later. And we do not employ a sales team. What we do not do is oversubscribe past 3:1 on fair-share plans or past 1:1 on dedicated-core plans — the numbers on the performance page come from production hosts under real load.
07No KYC — so anything goes?
No. No identity checks means we do not care who you are; it does not mean we do not care what leaves our network. Phishing, spam, malware distribution, botnet command-and-control, credential stuffing, outbound attacks and material involving minors get the instance terminated immediately, without refund and without appeal. The acceptable use policy is two pages, written in plain language, and we apply all of it.
