Cheap Bulletproof VPS Hosting

Are you looking for a cheap bulletproof VPS hosting provider for an anonymous project?

My top pick is FlokiNET: its VPS starts at €7.99 per month, signup needs only an email address, it accepts Monero, and it runs its own network in Iceland, Romania, the Netherlands and Finland.

AlexHost is the runner-up at €6 per month from its own underground data center in Moldova, and Privex is the cheapest month-to-month option at $4.99 per month, with signup by name (an alias is fine) and email only.

One thing to know before you compare them: none of these hosts is "bulletproof" in the sense of ignoring every complaint. All of them ban phishing and illegal content such as child abuse material, most also name malware, botnets and spam, and all of them can suspend accounts that break those rules.

What they do offer is privacy-friendly signup, crypto payments, offshore jurisdictions and a higher bar before they act on foreign copyright complaints.

8 Cheap Bulletproof VPS hosting

People choose a privacy-focused VPS to keep their identity off a hosting account, to publish journalism, activism or criticism that may attract takedown pressure, or simply for freedom of speech, which is the main reason. A VPS gives your website its own isolated virtual server and full root access. However, that alone is not enough to host a website anonymously.

To select a bulletproof host, you need to consider the server location, the signup requirements, the payment methods and the host's abuse policy. To make things easier for you, I created a list of 8 cheap VPS-based bulletproof hosting providers covering their features, plan pricing and limitations.

I ranked them on how well they protect privacy (signup data, payment options, complaint handling, jurisdiction and DDoS protection), weighed against the price of the entry plan. All prices were checked on the providers' own websites on October 22, 2026, and Impreza's on October 25, 2026.

Let’s begin.

FlokiNET

Established in Iceland in 2012, FlokiNET is the best bulletproof VPS host on this list, and the one I recommend when you need Tor hosting. The company was started to encourage freedom of speech and support whistleblower projects and a free press.

FlokiNET is a RIPE and ISNIC member, a cPanel-authorized partner, and runs its own network (AS200651).

Signup needs only a valid email address: it does not ask for ID documents, and you can pay with Monero or even cash by post. Its formal privacy policy still lists name and billing details among the data it may collect, so treat "email only" as the minimum it asks for rather than a guarantee of anonymity.

The cheapest offshore VPS, Romania VPS I, costs €7.99 per month for 1 CPU core, 1 GB of RAM, 20 GB of NVMe storage and 3 TB of traffic on a 1 Gbit uplink. Monthly billing adds a one-time €5 setup fee. The same plan costs €8.99 in Finland, €9.50 in the Netherlands and €10.99 in Iceland, where it includes 1 TB of traffic.

Key Features

• FlokiNET has VPS servers in Romania, Iceland, the Netherlands and Finland, with Norway, Canada and Singapore listed as coming soon.
• Copyright complaints are handled under the law of the country where the server is located and need proper documentation. FlokiNET says it will not act on DMCA or copyright complaints against whistleblower websites and pushes back on false takedown requests.
• Tor is allowed: you can host .onion sites and run relays, and exit nodes in selected locations.
• All VPS plans include DDoS protection (1 Tbps+), KVM virtualization, NVMe storage, a virtual IPMI console and your choice of operating system.
• FlokiNET also offers a managed Proton encrypted email service for teams (priced per team size, plus a setup fee).
• You can get managed investigative journalism tools such as GlobaLeaks (from €180 per month), OpenAleph and Liquid Investigations for an additional monthly charge.
• This anonymous host accepts Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, ZCash, Dash, Dogecoin, Ether, Tether, USDC and other cryptocurrencies without fees, plus cash by post, Paysafecard, bank transfer, PayPal and cards.
• The acceptable use policy bans spam, port scanning, outgoing DDoS attacks, botnets, carding, phishing and malware, and adult content is not allowed on Icelandic servers. Accounts that break these rules are suspended without warning or refund.

AlexHost

Founded in Moldova in 2008, AlexHost is my runner-up. It runs its own data center in Chisinau, built 5 meters underground in a former bomb shelter of a military plant, on its own network (AS200019).

AlexHost no longer markets "DMCA ignored" hosting: its old offshore pages now redirect to its regular VPS page. Copyright complaints go through an abuse form with a 72-hour response target, and complainants must identify themselves and prove their claim. AlexHost says it does not hand over information about its clients without a conviction and an official request from the law enforcement agencies of Moldova.

Signup is not anonymous anymore. An older AlexHost blog post says it does not ask for identity cards, but its current privacy policy (August 2026) lists your name, phone number, postal address and, for invoicing, a national ID or tax number among the data it collects.

The entry-level U1 plan costs €6 per month in Moldova for 1 vCore, 1.5 GB of DDR4 RAM, 10 GB of NVMe storage and a shared 100 Mbps port. U2 costs €10 per month with 2 vCores, 4 GB of RAM and 40 GB of NVMe storage.

Key Features

• The host owns its data center in Chisinau, the capital of the Republic of Moldova. VPS plans are also available in the Netherlands, Sweden, Bulgaria, Switzerland, France, England, Romania and the US, where they get a shared 1 Gbps port.
• All VPS plans come with NVMe storage, a dedicated IPv4 address and full root access.
• AlexHost says anti-DDoS protection is active by default on all servers, and its SLA promises 99.99% uptime.
• 24/7 support, with a 30-minute target for the first ticket reply, helps you fix problems quickly.
• AlexHost accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and other cryptocurrencies, as well as cards. It announced Monero payments in 2021.
• New accounts get a 30-day money-back guarantee, except for AUP violations and orders placed with a promo code.
• The acceptable use policy bans spam, botnets, phishing, carding, malware and Tor exit relays. Server and access logs are kept for 90 days.

Privex

Privex is a privacy-focused host registered in Belize since 2017, with its own hardware and network (AS210083) in Sweden and the Netherlands. It is the cheapest month-to-month VPS on this list with a public IPv4 address.

Signup is as light as it gets: Privex asks only for a name, which can be an alias, and an email address. It says it does not log your IP address when you order, and you can order over Tor or I2P.

In its own Swedish and Dutch locations, abuse reports go directly to Privex, and unless they come from the police or a court in Belize or the server's country, it decides on its own whether to act on them. In its rented German, Finnish and US locations, complaints go through the upstream provider, which can suspend a server that isn't dealt with in 12 to 72 hours.

The cheapest plan, VMINI-SE-SSD, costs $4.99 per month in Sweden for 1 core, 512 MB of RAM, 10 GB of SSD storage and a 100 Mbps port with a 0.5 TB monthly traffic cap (speed is throttled, not cut, above it), with no setup fee.

V1-SE-SSD doubles the RAM to 1 GB with 25 GB of SSD and 1 TB of traffic for $7.49 per month. In the Netherlands, the entry plan costs $5.99 with 10 GB of NVMe storage and a 300 Mbps port.

Key Features

• Privex owns the hardware in its Swedish (Stockholm) and Dutch locations, and also sells servers in Germany, Finland and the US through upstream providers.
• Payments are crypto first: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Monero, Dogecoin, EOS, HIVE and HBD through its own payment gateway. Bank transfers are possible from $100, and cards and PayPal are not accepted.
• Tor relays are allowed in all regions, and Tor exit nodes are allowed in Sweden with prior permission (from $50 per month, 3 months prepaid).
• Legal adult content is allowed in Sweden and the Netherlands if you contact Privex first.
• Port scanning, DDoS attacks, phishing and illegal content are banned in every region.
• DDoS protection is not advertised, and the 512 MB entry plan is small: plan on V1 or larger for anything beyond a light website.
• Privex has no formal terms of service document, and its pages give different refund periods (7, 10 or 14 days). On Trustpilot it has a 3.7 rating from 33 reviews (checked October 2026), with a few recent reports of outages.

Impreza

Impreza is a privacy-focused host that operates from Seychelles and sells offshore VPS plans in Ukraine, Romania and Russia. It has the lightest signup on this list: its site says it needs no KYC and no email address, and its VPS page promises no documents and no personal information.

Its terms say that on services marked DMCA Ignored, which includes all three offshore VPS locations, it runs a DMCA Forward policy instead of acting on foreign takedown notices. The same terms still ban malware, spam that gets its IP space blacklisted, and material that sexually exploits minors.

Ukraine Server I costs $9 per month for 1 CPU core, 1 GB of RAM, 20 GB of SSD storage and 5 TB of bandwidth. That is $4.01 more than Privex's entry plan for twice the RAM and storage and ten times the traffic, and $1.51 more than Privex's 1 GB plan.

Key Features

• Every offshore VPS includes a .onion domain, an unlocked port 25 and KVM virtualization.
• DDoS protection against volumetric and layer-7 attacks is included at no extra cost.
• The Swap Location feature moves your server to another Impreza location with a new IP address from the client area, for $5 per swap.
• Tor nodes, including exit nodes, are allowed. Impreza recommends a dedicated server for exits and may suspend a VPS that goes beyond its fair-use traffic, and it donates $5 a month per offshore VPS to the Tor Project.
• Impreza Pay takes Bitcoin, Monero, USDT (TRC-20) and TRX. More coins are available through CoinPayments and Cryptomus, whose verification rules can differ, and PayPal, cards and bank transfer are accepted too.
• New VPS plans come with a 7-day money-back guarantee and a 99.9% uptime SLA.

Shinjiru

With 25 years in offshore hosting (since 2000), Shinjiru is the most established provider on this list. It sells OpenVZ and KVM VPS plans in eight locations and operates under Malaysian law.

Shinjiru does not publish a DMCA policy. Complaints go through a formal procedure in its acceptable use policy: the complainant must send a signed document with passport details and proof of their rights, and Shinjiru says it does not act as a court or a law enforcement agency.

Its marketing promises that no personal details are required, but its terms let it cancel an order if documents it requests are not supplied within 90 days.

Shinjiru has many hosting add-ons to further enhance the security of your server, including paid server hardening and firewall services that help block hacking attempts.

The cheapest OpenVZ VPS costs $12.90 per month on monthly billing, or $9.90 per month if you prepay 24 months, for 1 vCPU, 1 GB of RAM, 25 GB of storage and unmetered bandwidth on a shared 1 Gbps port. The KVM VPS Basic plan below costs $11.90 per month on a 24-month term and $14.90 month to month.

Key Features

• Shinjiru delivers VPS plans immediately in Malaysia, Bulgaria, Holland and Germany, and within 2 to 24 hours in Hong Kong, Lithuania, Russia and Singapore.
• The hosting provider also offers StrongBolt private email services with OpenPGP encryption. It encrypts your messages so they stay private in transit.
• Every VPS includes 1 Gbps of DDoS protection (layers 3 and 4), with upgrades to 5 Gbps for $100 per month. An IP under attack can be null-routed for 24 to 48 hours, and repeated attacks lead to suspension.
• It is possible to add LiteSpeed Cache technology to your VPS, which can noticeably speed up your website.
• The host accepts Bitcoin directly or via CoinPayments, plus Ethereum and USDT on the ERC-20 network, cards and PayPal. Monero is not listed, and crypto refunds are paid as account credit.
• The acceptable use policy bans Tor hosting servers, spam, phishing, malware and IRC.

OrangeWebsite

Founded in Reykjavik in 2009, OrangeWebsite has some of the most privacy-friendly terms on this list. All of its servers are in Iceland, the company says they run on 100% renewable geothermal and hydropower energy, and its terms state that hosted sites are regulated only by Icelandic law.

OrangeWebsite says signup needs only a valid email address, and you can pay with crypto. It also says it ignores complaints about sites that contain nothing illegal and don't break its terms, informs you whenever a third party contacts it about your site, and removes content or discloses subscriber information only with a valid Icelandic court order or a similar order from Icelandic authorities.

It is the most expensive host on this list, though. VPS Level 1 costs €29.90 per month for 2 CPU cores, 1 GB of RAM, 20 GB of disk space and 200 GB of monthly traffic, with no setup fee. The advertised €22.40 per month requires paying 3 years upfront.

Key Features

• All VPS plans use KVM virtualization, include a dedicated IP address and full root access, and are self-managed.
• DDoS protection is not included: it costs €79.90 per protected IP, and an unprotected IP under attack may be null-routed.
• Backups cost €24.90 extra, and the 30-day money-back guarantee only applies to shared hosting.
• Port 25 is blocked by default on VPS plans, and OrangeWebsite opens it only for a valid reason on older or larger servers.
• Its crypto page lists Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Monero (processed through BitPay and CoinPayments, which may ask for KYC themselves), and it also accepts PayPal and cash by mail.
• The terms ban phishing, carding, network scanning, stress testing and online pharmacies, and providing false contact information can lead to account termination.
• The VPS network uptime guarantee is 99.9%, with prorated credit.

TheOnionHost

The Onion Host sells KVM virtual servers in Sofia, Bulgaria and Kyiv, Ukraine, with Moldova and Iceland listed as coming soon. Its marketing still mentions "DMCA-ignored" jurisdictions, but its written DMCA policy is more careful: foreign copyright notices are assessed under the law of the server's jurisdiction, usually forwarded to the customer as information, and acted on unilaterally only with a valid local court order.

If you are short on time or have limited technical knowledge, you’ll be glad to know that The Onion Host also sells managed offshore VPS plans as a separate product.

The cheapest KVM VPS plan, VPS Alpha, costs $19.99 per month for 1 vCPU, 1 GB of RAM, 20 GB of NVMe storage, unmetered bandwidth and a 1 Gbps port, with no setup fee and no discount for longer terms. Offshore shared hosting starts at $5 per month in Ukraine.

Key Features

• The FAQ says standard plans need only a working email address, but the registration form also asks for your name and postal address.
• The host accepts Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum, USDT and Litecoin, as well as cards, PayPal and wire transfers. Crypto refunds are paid as account credit.
• The website advertises 500 Gbps of DDoS protection, but the order form includes 10 Gbps for free, with up to 100 Gbps for $10 or up to 200 Gbps for $20 extra.
• You will get custom server solutions with The Onion Host VPS where you can choose your control panel, operating system, and other server aspects.
• Despite its name, The Onion Host bans Tor relays and anonymity services. Its terms also ban adult content, gambling, crypto mining and bulk email.
• The order form lists a "LiteSpeed Cracked" add-on, which is a red flag for software licensing and is one reason I rank this host lower.

Black Host

Black Host is a Geneva-based provider (Swiss law) with cheap KVM VPS plans in Europe, the US, London, Amsterdam, Chicago, Vienna and Tokyo. Its branding looks bulletproof, but its own help center says plainly that it is not a bulletproof hosting operator, and that it works with government and private organizations against illicit actors.

For copyright complaints, Black Host runs a DMCA takedown form and lists a copyright agent, and its Unmetered VPS plans show "DMCA Policy: Forward". That makes it a privacy-friendly host for lawful projects, not a host that ignores complaints. Black Host promises not to sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

The cheapest plan, Mini VPS, works out at $2.49 per month but is only billed annually ($29.90 per year) for a shared vCore, 512 MB of RAM, 10 GB of NVMe storage and unmetered traffic at 100 Mbps.

The Unmetered VPS range below starts at $11.99 per month for 1 vCore, 2 GB of RAM, 20 GB of NVMe storage and unmetered traffic on a 1 Gbps port.

Key Features

• Black Host operates under Swiss law, with all VPS locations available at no extra cost.
• All VPS plans include unmetered traffic and NVMe storage.
• The uptime SLA promises 99.95% per month, with a credit of ten times the downtime.
• Daily VPS backups are kept for 48 hours.
• The host accepts Bitcoin (including Lightning), ERC-20 and BEP-20 tokens, PayPal, cards, bank transfers and Google or Apple Pay. Monero is not listed.
• DDoS protection is sold as a separate dedicated server product (from $429 per month), not included with the cheap VPS plans.
• The acceptable use policy bans botnets, phishing, spam, hacking tools and anonymizing proxy scripts.

Buying guide for a Bulletproof VPS

Not all bulletproof VPS hosting providers are capable of offering 100% anonymity, and none can guarantee it. So it is important to check a few things when choosing the best offshore VPS for your hosting needs.

Here is what to check before you buy to protect your privacy:

Offshore locations

The DMCA is a United States law. A host outside the US handles copyright complaints under its own local law, so a US notice alone usually isn't enough to remove your site. Your own government also has less reach over the site, since the servers are located outside its jurisdiction.

That doesn't mean complaints are ignored or that anything goes: every host on this list follows the law of its own country and acts on local court orders.

So pick a bulletproof VPS host with its data center in a privacy-friendly offshore location like Iceland, Romania, Moldova or Bulgaria, and check how that host treats foreign complaints.

Signup and payment

Paying with cryptocurrency does not make hosting anonymous on its own. Check what the signup form asks for, whether the terms let the host request ID later, and whether the payment processor runs its own KYC checks.

Monero is the most private payment option among the hosts here. FlokiNET, Privex, Impreza, AlexHost, OrangeWebsite and The Onion Host accept it (AlexHost announced it in 2021).

Domain name

I recommend purchasing your web hosting and domain name from different sellers since it is always safer not to put all your eggs in one basket.

Ditch the popular .com extension and consider using .io or .co domains instead.

Look for a domain registrar offering cryptocurrency payment options. One reliable registrar that does this is Njalla, started by a co-founder of The Pirate Bay.

Terms of Service

It is always a good practice to go through the terms and conditions of the bulletproof host before buying a VPS. Not all hosting providers allow the use of their servers for all activities.

Every host on this list bans phishing and illegal content such as child abuse material, most also ban malware and spam, and several ban Tor, adult content, proxies or bulk email.

So be sure to learn what your preferred host allows on its VPS. If you are unsure, contact them and explain what you plan to run to find out whether they allow it.

Conclusion

Finding the right bulletproof VPS host is essential for the long-term success of your anonymous project. Of the hosts on this list, FlokiNET is the best all-round offshore hosting provider and the best VPS for Tor hosting.

It is cheap, takes Monero and only needs an email address to sign up.

At the same time, AlexHost is a strong runner-up with its own underground data center and DDoS protection included, and Privex is the cheapest month-to-month option, with alias-friendly signup and its own hardware in Sweden and the Netherlands.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is a bulletproof hosting provider?

Traditionally, a bulletproof hosting provider is one that ignores abuse complaints and takedown requests. The hosts in this list are privacy-friendly offshore hosts instead: they protect free speech and handle foreign copyright complaints under their local law, but they still ban illegal activity such as phishing and malware.

Is Bulletproof Hosting actually anonymous?

Not completely. The level of anonymity differs from host to host: some need only an email address and accept Monero, while others ask for your name, address or even ID. So check the buying guide above before you choose.

How much does it cost to host a website with Bulletproof Hosting?

Depending on the host you select, a bulletproof VPS on this list costs from $4.99 to €29.90 per month on monthly billing. Black Host's Mini VPS is cheaper at $2.49 per month, but it is billed annually.

How secure is a VPS?

A VPS is among the most secure hosting options. Each virtual server is independent of others and secured in a separate shell with all its resources.
