That is simply not true. I have used a variety of hosting companies and none of them have asked for any document information. At worst they just ask you for your name and address so that they can put it in your invoice.

For certain providers like e.g. Netcup you also need to add a phone number and they do a quick check-up if you're a real person. Sounds a bit strange at first, but their servers are top notch, so its worth the hustle imo.

Have you ever used this before: https://aeza.net/protection

Nope, didn't use that protection service yet. All I did was buying their cheap root/vps servers to run a few blockchain nodes.

If you check those other features, please leave a small review, if its worth it.

Netcup is the absolute opposite to anonymous hosting Cheesy

. I have never seen a hosting company taking KYC that serious!
But their service quality is fine, that is true.

(Even though the fees for crypto payments are quite high).

Nevertheless i prefer regular providers like Netcup or Contabo which are more reliable imho.

Interesting.

It seems like it's Cloudflare-style DDoS protection and not bare metal DDoS protection as I thought it might be.

But the free tier does not look very inciting. Cloudflare can already do a lot more stuff than this at the free plan.

They also appear to offer free virtual machines for 15-minute sessions - https://terminator.aeza.net/en/ I have just tried this one for a few minutes and I'm a bit impressed. Going to see if you can install apps on it.

I have been using Azea in the past for several root servers I used to run nodes for different projects:

I didn't need any KYC and paid via Crypto and their servers are decent.

There are not many trusted hosting companies which accept crypto currency and I have no idea that everyone need KYC.

There are not many trusted hosting companies which accept crypto currency and I have no idea that everyone need KYC. I have seen here many says about Namecheap which is my life saving as my country do not allow to purchase international products or service by international card so crypto currency helps me to run my business. Namecheap is very high quality hosing and domain selling company without any doubt. I completed all my payment in btc to re-new my domain name and hosting service.

You may want to check this thread, Sharing for Bitcoin Core download: the cheapest pay-per-hour VPS I found..

I don't want to risk hosting multiple e-commerce websites via hosting provider that god knows when will disappear, I am looking for trusted and reliable provider. Btw this doesn't mean hostvds is a bad company but from my experience, many companies come and go on lowendtalk and that's why I don't want to risk, I don't want to backup and migrate things back and forth.

I understand, but as reminder that thread mention many provider which has been around for long time.

I bought a 15$ VPS plan on buyvm.net, they also offer a free DirectAdmin license and accept Bitcoin payments. At the moment, this is the best price-to-offer ratio that I found online that also offers crypto payments and doesn't ask for KYC submission.

I just checked their ToS/privacy policy and it looks good compared with most provider. Although the ToS state they expect you enter few personal information (name and home address). And 1 dedicated CPU core isn't that attractive offer (i assume you choose slice 4096) for that price.

Zak Servers https://zakservers.com/ also do not ask for KYC, and also accept crypto including bitcoin.

Thank you but I am not looking for dedicated server, a basic VPS plan is enough for me.

Namecheap, as your first responder said. I even renew for the max 10 years, not so much as a name requested (email only required) and no fuss, if slightly more expensive on tier 1 domains. Pretty decent deals for the bottom of the barrel domains if you like testing sites like you should.

Never been tempted to try anything else.

I have heard about Contabo but many people say that their response time is not reliable and many people don't recommend their service. I checked buyvm/frantech but what I want is not available in any location.

On other side, some member on Starting a Bitcoin Node using a VPS mention good experience with Contabo.

Quote from: shield132 on March 11, 2024, 04:04:35 AM

Or if there are good cheap VPS alternatives? There are many cheap VPS when I google but I want advice and recommendations from someone who had a good experience with certain cheap VPS providers. Many of you run many tools on VPS, so I hope I'll hear good suggestions. Crypto payments are a huge bonus for me but not mandatory.

I host multiple websites and traffic grew on all of them. As I said, I am using Flokinet but when it comes to prices and resources, it's hard to beat Hetzner. I can get 2 vCPU, 8GB RAM and 80GB Disk space for € 12.49 on Hetzner. I wanted to buy Hetzner's cloud server and asked my friend to register for me (they asked me for KYC documents). The same happened to my friend, I have no idea why they asked for it. I want to warn you, to be careful with Hetzner if you care about your privacy.

I have heard about Contabo but many people say that their response time is not reliable and many people don't recommend their service. I checked buyvm/frantech but what I want is not available in any location.

Does anyone know how I can find Hetzner resellers? Or if there are good cheap VPS alternatives?

Hi,
You can add zakservers.com to the list too, do not ask for KYC and bitcoin is accepted as a payment method, though only fully dedicated offshore servers are available along with domain names.

I just checked your website and i'm not sure OP need dedicated server for fresh/new e-commernece which probably has relative low traffic. Anyway, while your website doesn't mention KYC, this part of your ToS might bother few people.

Quote from: https://www.zakservers.com/terms-of-service.php

At any time Zak Servers may demand Customer to provide proof of its identity. Failure to cooperate with this process is a reason for immediate termination of the agreement.

@zakservers should address this issue it's deceptive to recommend a platform that claims that they do not ask for KYC but on their terms, there are circumstances which they can ask for KYC.
I recommend that OP to just prioritize reputation,uptime and good support when choosing a hosting company to host your e-commerce, you can use one of your team members to do KYC in case you don't want to, KYC is very important when it comes to hosting it validates that you are the real owner of your site in case there is a dispute, its a mean of protection to your account.

I want to create an e-commerce website on WordPress and was thinking of buying a domain and hosting a website on Hetzner but I have heard that they ask for KYC verification, is that true? Does anyone know any good and cheap hosting website that will let me buy a domain and host a website without KYC documents? It will be good if they accept Bitcoin and altcoins but that's not mandatory. Don't suggest a random list, recommend one that you have used successfully.

I have used and already had an account on Namecheap for 5 years and they never ask me for any documents, they will only ask if there are illegal activities on the sites that you are hosting on their server, Namecheap is a very friendly hosting company, they will give you the best service.

I don't know why the decision that you don't want KYC, doing KYC is actually for your own protection and there's a big risk of losing your account and your domain if the host can't verify that you are the real owner of the account if ever there is a breach, all legal and reputable hosting companies want their owners to protect themselves and they can do that if they have your document the reasons are

The same thing applies to Vultr, I never had any issues with them but I did see a couple of users here saying they did ask them for personal info before.

Vultr requires to do one payment/deposit with Paypal or credit card first before you can use crypto payments what results in an indirect KYC. I don't know if this may not have been the case in the past, but it was the case a few months ago when I wanted to test Vultr.

You are constructive enough, and if this is true, then it means that Vultr is indirectly doing KYC as you said but this is still not how it is supposed to be. Every company knows how it operates and the law that binds it which it must obey, which might give some a kind of soft landing. But nothing can be as thorough as the company itself allowing the KYC and using its own standards that ensure that it is done and the customer complies.

Fine, PayPal is somewhat good with their verification, but in some countries, they are too light, or you should I say careless. Not even these days that people are now buying verified PayPal accounts which makes it still careless on the part of Vultr to indirectly rely on another company for their KYC.
