Frequently asked questions

No. NoctHost is a no-KYC VPS hosting service: you only need an email address to register. We never ask for documents, selfies, phone numbers or card details.

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDT, Litecoin (LTC), Monero (XMR) and 300+ other coins - pick any of them on the checkout. You top up an account balance once and deploy as many servers as you need from it.

Around 60 seconds. Once your crypto deposit is confirmed and credited to your balance, every deploy is instant - pick a plan and a location, and your VPS boots with a dedicated IPv4 and full root access.

We deduct the hourly price of each server from your balance only while the server exists. Destroy a server at any moment and you stop paying that same hour. There are no monthly contracts and no minimum commitment.

Your servers are suspended, not deleted. You get a grace period to top up before anything is removed, and we send warnings well in advance.

Small deposits are usually credited after one confirmation. Larger amounts may need a few more - the exact number is shown on the payment page before you send anything.

Unused balance can be refunded in the same cryptocurrency you paid with, minus network fees. Hours already consumed by servers are non-refundable.

Ubuntu LTS by default, with Debian, Rocky Linux, Fedora and other popular distributions available at deploy time. You get full root access over SSH from the first minute.

Vultr and DigitalOcean today, with Hetzner and Linode coming next. You pick the provider when you deploy, and manage everything - and pay - through one crypto balance regardless of the underlying provider.

Neither. NoctHost is a no-KYC, crypto-funded layer over top-tier clouds: it provisions real cloud servers on those providers (Vultr and DigitalOcean today) through their APIs, with hourly billing and a REST API - the same model as services like BitLaunch, not a Proxmox reseller, and billing is hourly rather than a fixed monthly plan.

Yes. Everything in the dashboard is available over a REST API: deploy up to 10 servers in one request, check your balance and hourly spend, poll server statuses and IPs, and destroy servers programmatically.

Yes - personal VPNs (WireGuard, OpenVPN), Tor relays, game servers, bots, web apps and CI runners are all welcome as long as they comply with our acceptable use policy and the law.

Outbound port 25 is blocked on every server, so you cannot run a mail server that delivers directly to Gmail or Outlook. On Vultr servers ports 587 and 465 are open, so sending through a relay (Resend, Postmark, Mailgun, Amazon SES or your own provider) works normally. On DigitalOcean servers all three ports are blocked - pick Vultr if outbound mail matters. Worth knowing either way: a fresh datacenter IP has no sending reputation, so relaying is the practical setup even where port 25 is open.

Yes, and you do it yourself: open the server's page in the dashboard and fill in the Reverse DNS (PTR) field. This works on Vultr servers. DigitalOcean derives the PTR record from the droplet name and exposes no API for it, so the control is not shown there.

Spam, phishing, malware distribution, botnets, DDoS attacks, port scanning and any other illegal activity. We are privacy-friendly, not abuse-friendly: violating servers are suspended.

For non-critical reports you get an email and 24 hours to remove the content or respond. If you do nothing, the server is deleted - but we keep a full disk backup for 7 days, and you can restore it onto a new server in one click. After 7 days the backup is permanently deleted.

We do not inspect your traffic or files. We act on abuse reports and standard network-level signals, which keeps the platform clean without invading your privacy.

Big clouds require a credit card, billing address and often a phone number. NoctHost gives you the same top-tier infrastructure with crypto payments, no KYC, hourly billing and one balance across multiple providers.
