Is there a storage VPS that does not ask for ID?

What does Coffervale ask for when you sign up?

Nothing that identifies you. No KYC: no ID document, no selfie, no card and no phone number is asked at signup. You sign in with an account number alone; an email address is optional and serves only to recover that number.

The flow is short: the dashboard gives you an account number, you choose a plan, a rental length, a city and a system, and you top up your balance in crypto. If you want a way back in after losing the number, add an email; if you would rather not, skip it. The account number is the only key to your account: with an email on file it can be sent back to you, without one a lost number cannot be recovered by anyone.

No KYC is about not handing over documents you do not need to hand over. It is not a licence: Store what is yours or what you have the right to keep. Spam, attacks, malware, mining and abuse material are banned; the acceptable use policy has the full list. Residents and companies of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, China, Yemen and Western Sahara, and of the occupied regions of Ukraine, cannot order.

What does Coffervale still know about you and your data?

Less than most hosts, but not nothing, and we would rather list it than leave it to guesswork.

• Your payments: the amount, coin, network and transaction ID of each top-up. A blockchain is public, so a transaction can be traced back to the wallet that sent it.
• Your server: its plan, term, city, system, IP addresses and dates, and the SSH public key you gave, or the temporary root password we set if you gave none.
• Your files: Whoever runs a hypervisor can technically read an unencrypted virtual disk, at any VPS host. We do not open your files, and data you encrypt before it leaves your machine takes the question off the table.

The complete account of what is kept, for how long and who can ask for it is in how we work and the privacy policy.

How do other storage VPS hosts handle ID?

Many hosts that take crypto ask for no document at signup but keep the right to ask later, usually after an automatic fraud check. According to Coffervale's survey of 2 November 2026, which read the terms of the 18 storage VPS sellers that take crypto without an ID document at signup, 8 name no case in which they would ask for one, 10 name triggers, and 16 require an email address. The table covers those with a storage plan in stock in Europe that day.

Why would someone want storage without KYC?

Because a copy of your passport stored by a host is one more copy of your identity that can leak. People who choose a storage VPS without KYC are mostly the ones who think about where their data lives: self-hosters keeping family photos away from big clouds, small teams holding backups outside their own country, people who have had an account frozen and do not want to depend on one provider's paperwork.

For them the useful questions are concrete. Does the host need my name to run a server? No. Does it need my card? Not if I pay in crypto. Does it need to read my files? Not if I encrypt them first: KVM gives your server its own kernel, so you can put LUKS on the data disk or run ZFS with native encryption, and the keys never leave you. For backups, encrypt on your own machine before upload (Borg, restic and Kopia all do it), so the server only ever holds ciphertext.

What should you check before you trust a no-KYC host with your data?

Who runs it, what happens to the disk at the end, and whether the host keeps copies.

• The operator: Coffervale is run by DomaineGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama; see about us.
• The end of a server: When a server ends, deleted by you or left unpaid past its 7-day hold, its disk is wiped and nobody can bring the data back, us included.
• Copies on the host side: We take no backup of your server and keep no copy of your data anywhere else, so what sits on a Coffervale storage VPS should be one of your copies, never the only one.
• The price of the exit: No setup fee: an order and each renewal cost exactly the price of the chosen term. The days left on a term you end early are not paid back, so start with one month if you are unsure.
