What do people ask before buying a VPS with no KYC?

No. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process.

No. Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never. Adding one gives you a way to recover a lost account number, and nothing else.

Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. Store it in a password manager; the How do I self-host Vaultwarden on a VPS? guide shows one way.

No. No identity check, now or later: no ID upload, no selfie, no proof of address, no card and no phone number. There is no spending threshold that changes this.

Adults outside the excluded countries. Accounts are for people aged 18 or over. People and companies from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, China, Yemen and Western Sahara, and from the occupied regions of Ukraine, cannot use the service.

BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR, with Monero first. The minimum top-up is $25.

A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. Bitcoin and USDT follow their own networks' confirmation times, shown in the payment steps on the pricing page.

On the blockchain, yes: Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. Inside your account, no: 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.

No. Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. The Do crypto payment processors ask for KYC? page explains why that matters.

Send the exact amount on the exact network shown on the payment page. If something went wrong, write to [email protected] with the transaction ID; A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with SSH keys, reinstalls and firewall rules.

No. Before a payment is credited, the address that sent it is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses whenever its blockchain makes that address public; money from a listed address is never credited.

Ember $3.74, Dusk $5.25, Gloam $8.25, Night $13.50, Aurora $20.62, Halo $25.87, Nebula $42.04 and Zenith $116.25 a month on the 12-month term ($7.48, $10.50, $16.50, $27.00, $41.24, $51.74, $84.08 and $232.50 a month on 1 or 3 months; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least). Each plan is described with its use on the How much does a Gloamport VPS cost? page.

Pay for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months (20% off) or 12 months (50% off) at a time; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least. A term costs the monthly price times its months, minus its discount, rounded down to the cent: Gloam is $16.50 for 1 month, $49.50 for 3, $79.20 for 6 and $99.00 for 12, and Dusk is $31.50 for 3 months or $63.00 for 12. A renewal repeats the term of your order at the same price unless you choose another term for the next one in your dashboard.

Against a named plan from a dated survey. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, the median monthly price of a 2 vCPU / 4 GB / 80 GB VPS among 29 no-KYC crypto hosts was $31.29; Gloam costs $8.25 a month on 12 months.

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.

If a VPS cannot be built, or goes down and support cannot restore it, each day it was out of service goes back to your balance. The balance never expires. Top-ups are not paid back out unless a law requires it, except the part paid only to reach the minimum top-up, which is returned on request in USDT or USDC within 30 days of payment if it is still unspent.

Reykjavik (Iceland), Bucharest (Romania) and Amsterdam (Netherlands): every plan in every city, at the same price.

Linux only: Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux images. No Windows: Debian 13, Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, AlmaLinux 10, Rocky Linux 10.

Root over SSH. Paste a public key at checkout and password login stays switched off; leave it empty and the team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard, that you change at first login.

No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. A simple way to keep encrypted copies off the VPS is to send them to another machine you control.

Outbound port 25 is closed on every VPS and is not opened on request; ports 465 and 587 towards a mail provider stay open.
