**Short answer** Where a no-KYC host stops and your OPSEC starts: IP windows, email policy, payment records, log classes. Scout at $3/mo annual in 21 locations.

VPS from $3* (fund $50+), storage 1–5 TB NVMe from $24/mo annual-eff, dedicated with IPMI from $30.80/mo. Crypto invoice, no KYC.

[Launch now](https://nulnet.com/deploy/?kind=vps&plan=business/) NulNet: VPS from $3/mo and dedicated from $30.80/mo annual. The map spans twenty-one locations — Reykjavik (Iceland) and Zurich (Switzerland) among them, plus Singapore, Dubai, Cape Town and fourteen others. Signup is email plus a 12-character password, or token-only. No KYC. Checkout is crypto-only across BTC, XMR, ETH, BNB, SOL, LTC, TRX, XRP, DOGE, DASH, ADA, GRAM (TON), and USDT (TRC-20/ERC-20/BEP-20/SPL). No payload or guest traffic logs; connection metadata ≤24h. DDoS included. One SKN company, one crypto checkout. Deploy at https://nulnet.com/deploy/.

## Short answer

A VPS is exactly as traceable as its signup paper. Conventional providers tie a mailbox, a card or an ID file, and long-lived access records to the machine. NulNet collects none of those: **32-character token-only** signup with email optional, or email plus a 12+ character password; the bill arrives as a crypto invoice or draws down a prepaid balance. Scout sits at **$3/mo** on the annual term, identical in twenty-one locations. Everything left after that is your own OPSEC — wallet reuse, named domains, leaked origin IPs — not a provider form.

## Traditional hosts see vs NulNet sees

| | Traditional hosts see | NulNet sees |
|---|---|---|
| IP | Captured at signup, across the panel, and again at the payment processor | Connection metadata kept at most 24 hours, then discarded (privacy policy) |
| Email | A working inbox is mandatory for account creation and recovery | Optional — token-only accounts hold no address at all |
| Payment | Card and bank records on file, plus processor-side KYC | Invoice rows only: amount, coin, address, txid. Cards do not exist in this checkout |
| Logs | Payload or access logs are routine; retention windows are rarely published | No payload or guest-traffic logs. Billing and panel events persist with the account; the 24-hour figure applies to connection metadata |

## Token-only vs email

**Token path:** the panel issues a 32-character hex string; store it offline like a recovery code, because it is the credential. **Inbox path:** an email plus a password of at least 12 characters reaches the same plans at the same prices.

## What still traces you

No checkout repairs operator habits: a wallet address reused across forums, a domain registered under your legal name, an origin IP pasted straight into DNS. The payment flow stays identical whether you order a [Gitea box without a KYC file](https://nulnet.com/anonymous-git-server-vps-gitea/) or a [self-hosted Mastodon instance](https://nulnet.com/self-host-mastodon-no-kyc-vps/). Both failure modes get full treatment in the [OPSEC guide](https://nulnet.com/anonymous-vps-opsec-guide/) and on [limits of no-KYC anonymity](https://nulnet.com/limits-of-no-kyc-vps-anonymity/).

Do you require email? No. Token-only registration stores no address; the email route exists for people who want a recovery handle and nothing more.

What is the cheapest plan? The Scout slice: one EPYC vCPU, 2 GB of ECC memory, 40 GB NVMe, an unmetered 1 Gbps port and one IPv4 — $3/mo on the annual term, identical at all twenty-one facilities.

Is hourly billing available? Yes. A prepaid balance tops up from $10 and debits hourly; monthly crypto invoices are the flat-rate alternative.

Does Monero make the server itself anonymous? It closes the payment graph and nothing beyond that. Identity leaks come from reused addresses and personal domains, and the AUP still sets the hard content limits.
