Use case · survey of 10 November 2026
Most VPS hosts require an email at signup. A few do not. Here is who, what they ask instead, and what you give up.
Quick answer
Can I get a VPS without an email address?
Yes. At Gloamport your account is a random account number and the email is optional, so you can get a VPS without an email address. In the survey of 10 November 2026, only 6 of 42 active crypto hosts had no email field or an optional one; 36 required it. Plans start at $3.74 a month.
| Host | Email at signup | What the signup asks | Monero |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gloamport | Optional | A plan and a coin; the account is a random number | Yes |
| Servury | None | A randomly generated credential only | Yes |
| Kyun | None | A password and a proof-of-work; contact details optional (fields read 2026-10-29) | Yes, the only coin |
| TLDBunker | None (pre-launch) | Plan, billing period, OS; SSH key and email optional | Yes |
| Njalla | Optional | An email or XMPP address, and a password | Yes |
| NiceVPS | Optional | A username, an optional email, a password and a captcha | Yes |
| VPSDEN | Optional | Optional contact details; an access key is issued | Yes |

The six hosts other than Gloamport are the 6 counted in the survey. TLDBunker’s checkout page still said ordering was not configured on 10 November 2026.
Because an email address links a server to a mailbox you probably use elsewhere. A mailbox that receives your receipts, your password resets and your newsletters is a strong identifier.
Dropping the field removes that link at the source. 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.
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.
You can still add an email later if you want one. 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.
You lose the recovery path, nothing else. With no email on file, nobody at Gloamport can bring back a lost account number, so store it in a password manager or on paper.
Other hosts make the same trade. VPSDEN states that it has no email password reset and issues an access key instead. Njalla asks for an email or XMPP address, so it is optional only in the sense that you can choose the second.
Six of them in the survey. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 6 hosts accept Monero and do not require an email, out of 26 that accept Monero in all. Servury names its payment route as its own self-hosted nodes, and NiceVPS says it uses no third-party payment processor.
The full Monero table is on Which VPS hosts accept Monero?, and the steps for paying are on How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?.
Yes, to the account. 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.
Without an email, the account number is the only identifier on our side. A payment on a public ledger is a second one: 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. More on what to expect is in What makes a VPS privacy-focused?.
Leave the email field empty at checkout. You order with a plan, a coin and the account number, and nothing else.
The steps are the same as for any Gloamport order: choose a plan and a term, pay in the coin you picked, wait for the confirmations, then log in over SSH. 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. A person on the team builds each VPS once its payment is confirmed. The dashboard shows the progress, then the IP address as soon as the VPS boots.
Two habits help when there is no email. Write the account number down before you pay, and keep the transaction ID of your payment until the VPS is running.

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. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address.

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.
In the survey, Servury, Kyun and TLDBunker list none. Kyun’s signup fields come from a read of 29 October 2026, and TLDBunker had not opened ordering on 10 November 2026.
The host is free to make the email optional. What you run on the server must still follow the host’s rules: Not allowed: spam and bulk email, phishing, malware and botnet control, DDoS and every other attack, scanning or brute-forcing systems you do not own, booter and stresser services, carding and fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies.
