The stance is written, not implied: copyright-only takedown mail is received, filed and closed with no action, because a US notice template has no legal force where these racks stand. The long version lives in Guides and on the DMCA policy page. What does move things is narrow — a court order from the facility's own jurisdiction, or an abuse report carrying evidence. Paying in Bitcoin changes none of that analysis; what it deletes is the merchant account that panics first.
What happens to each kind of notice
| What arrives | Who can send it | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| US DMCA takedown template | any rights holder or agent | filed and closed — a US template carries no legal weight in these jurisdictions |
| Local court order | court in the server's jurisdiction | real process: counsel reviews it, compliance follows if valid |
| CSAM / phishing / attack reports | anyone, with evidence | acted on — the AUP has no copyright exception |
| Private "abuse" letters, forwarded templates | anyone | not accepted as process |

Jurisdictions for DMCA-ignored hosting
| Location | Why pick it | Entry |
|---|---|---|
| Iceland (Reykjavik) | strong free-speech tradition, no US-style takedown regime | VPS from $5.49/mo |
| Switzerland (Zurich) | civil-law privacy, process stays local | VPS from $5.49/mo |
| Netherlands (Amsterdam) | peering hub, best EU latency; provider-policy driven | VPS from $5.49/mo |
| Romania (Bucharest) | East-EU latency, cost balance | VPS from $5.49/mo |
| Dedicated (any of 21) | exclusive metal, IPMI | from $30.80/mo annual |
List prices 2026-09. Base list at nineteen locations; only IS/CH add a premium.
Where the racks sit
Company paper in Saint Kitts and Nevis; hardware in twenty-one facilities. Reykjavik and Zurich lead the speech-law shortlist, Amsterdam and Frankfurt carry the peering, Ashburn, Dallas, Mexico City and Sao Paulo span the Americas, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo cover Asia, and Riga alongside Bucharest rounds out eastern Europe. Flag choice happens at checkout as a latency-and-law decision — never a surcharge beyond the published IS/CH premiums.
What this policy is not
Not crime hosting, by position and by name. Criminal process that lands where the facility stands gets complied with; CSAM, phishing, spam and paid attacks are acted on with evidence at every tier; and no coin choice — Monero included — alters that. What the stance sells is simple: a copyright form letter is not a kill switch here, and the hard lines are published in the AUP before you order.
What DMCA-ignored metal costs elsewhere

Metal alternative: DMCA-ignored dedicated server from $30.80/mo annual with IPMI.
Product pairing
The catalog behind the stance: no-KYC VPS from $5.49/mo list, storage tiers for archives and mirrors, metal when the workload wants whole cores. The dedicated variant of this page — DMCA-ignored dedicated servers — opens at $30.80/mo annual-eff with IPMI on the invoice, and the storage line carries archive-heavy use from $24/mo annual-eff.
What actually happens to a copyright notice?
It is filed and closed. A US takedown template holds no legal force at these facilities, so there is nothing to forward and nothing to counter.
Is DMCA-ignored hosting legal?
Yes, in the sense that each jurisdiction picks its own process: renting a server where foreign takedown templates carry no force is a lawful rental. AUP and local law still govern the content.
Will you hand my data to a US rights holder?
No. Nothing moves on a US template; only process issued where the facility stands — reviewed by counsel — moves anything.
Does the policy cover crime reports?
No. CSAM, phishing and attack reports with evidence are acted on everywhere; copyright-only mail is the one category filed and closed.
Iceland or Switzerland?
Iceland for the speech statute and zero retention mandate; Switzerland for FADP and civil-law process. Amsterdam wins when peering latency leads the requirements instead.
Which plans carry this policy?
Every plan at every flag — the stance is contractual, not a tier perk. VPS lists from $5.49/mo; metal follows from $30.80/mo annual-eff with IPMI.
Can I pay in Monero on these racks?
Yes — the 16-coin invoice runs at all 21 facilities, with XMR and four USDT networks on the same page.
