The ten least expensive of 32 hosts with a comparable plan.
Which small no-KYC VPS plans cost the least?
At the smallest size, the two least expensive plans in the survey are HostSailor Mini Sailor at $4.99 a month and VSYS Host VS-NVME1-1 at $5.00. At 1 vCPU / 2 GB the least expensive is VSYS Host at $7.00.
According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, the median plan at the smallest size is $10.55 a month across 32 hosts, so the least expensive plans cost less than half the median. The full ranking, with more criteria than price, is on What is the best no-KYC VPS in 2026?.
What do you give up on the least expensive plans?
Look at the other columns of the table. The two least expensive plans at the smallest size both require an email, and HostSailor does not state whether it accepts Monero. HostSailor sends crypto payments through CoinGate, and VSYS Host reserves the right to ask for documents that prove you own the paying account.
That is not a flaw in the plan. It is the reason to compare what a host asks, not only what it charges. Servury is the only host in the 1 vCPU / 2 GB table with no email field.
How cheap is a Gloamport VPS?
On the 12-month term, Ember is $3.74 a month and Dusk is $5.25. Each is at least 25% under a named reference plan: Ember against HostSailor Mini Sailor at $4.99, Dusk against VSYS Host VS-NVME1-2 at $7.00.
On 3 months, the smallest term for both, the order flips. Ember is $7.48 a month and Dusk $10.50, both above their references. The price advantage comes from paying 12 months in advance. On the 12-month term, each plan costs at least 25% less than a named reference plan read on 10 November 2026: Ember against HostSailor “Mini Sailor” at $4.99 a month; Dusk against VSYS Host “VS-NVME1-2” at $7.00 a month; Gloam against VSYS Host “VS-NVME2-4” at $11.00 a month; Night against VSYS Host “VS-NVME4-8” at $18.00 a month; Aurora against AliasVPS “Pro” at $27.50 a month; Halo against AliasVPS “Scale” at $34.50 a month; Nebula against Servers.Guru “10Gbps VPS 16 vCPU/32 GB” at €49.99 ($56.06) a month; Zenith against Bit.Hosting “BitInfinity” at $155.00 a month. A reference is a plan with at least the same vCPU, RAM and disk, an IPv4 address included, billed one month at a time and not sold out, at one of the 38 VPS hosts in our survey that take crypto and do not ask every customer for an ID document; for each size it is the one with the smallest monthly price, and two of our plans never share one. We do not claim to be the cheapest at every size. Euro prices use 1 EUR = 1.1214 USD (ECB reference rate of 10 November 2026); the 1-month price is the 12-month monthly price divided by 0.5.

Every plan has one IPv4 address, an IPv6 /64 and a 1 Gbit/s port. One IPv4 address and an IPv6 /64 per VPS, on a 1 Gbit/s port. The traffic of a plan counts outgoing data only, and passing it never creates a bill by itself.
Is Ember or Dusk the better small plan?
Dusk, for most uses. Ember has 1 GB of RAM and 20 GB of NVMe, enough for a WireGuard VPN for a few devices. Dusk doubles both for $5.25 a month and carries the Recommended badge, which is advice, not a sales figure.
If you plan to run more than one service, step up to Gloam: A Matrix server, Vaultwarden and SearXNG together.
What does a cheap VPS leave out?
Plans do not include the extras a larger budget would buy. No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. Outbound port 25 is closed on every VPS and is not opened on request; ports 465 and 587 towards a mail provider stay open. No DDoS protection is sold or promised beyond the standard filtering of the datacenter network. No free trial: the smallest plan, Ember, is sold for 3 months at least, $22.44, or $3.74 a month on the 12-month term.
What you do get is the same on every plan: Full KVM virtualization: your own kernel, your own firewall rules and your own disk encryption if you set it up. NVMe storage on every plan. A reinstall is a request from the dashboard, and it erases the disk.
How do I pay for a cheap VPS without leaving a trail?
Pay with Monero from a wallet you control. The Monero payment is off the public ledger, and A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number.
In every plan: No KYC, email optional · Root over SSH · NVMe storage · IPv4 + IPv6 /64 · Full KVM · No setup fee
