Built to hold less of you.
Privacy here is mostly about collecting less in the first place. This page explains the design choices and where their limits are.

Access key instead of an account
You sign in with a random access key in the form ANV-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX. It is generated when you order and shown once. Only a hash is stored. That means we cannot send you a password reset, and it also means a database leak would not reveal working keys. Store the key in a password manager and do not share it.
Contact details are optional
You can complete an order without an email address. If you add one, it is used only to reach you about that order.
RAM-only instances
On RAM-only plans the whole system runs from memory with no local disk. When the instance stops, the data is gone. That is useful for sensitive workloads and for removing the question of what remains on a disk. It also means you must keep your own configuration and data somewhere else and rebuild on boot.
Encrypted storage
On disk-backed plans you can add an off-node encrypted state vault, or encrypt your own volumes with LUKS and unlock them remotely. The guide on LUKS remote unlock shows the steps.
Threat model: what this does and does not protect against
- It reduces the data collected about you and left behind on hardware.
- It does not make a VPS invisible to the host. The host controls the hypervisor and the network.
- It does not hide traffic from your own network observers. Use Tor or a VPN if that matters.
- It does not make illegal activity legal. See the acceptable use policy.
The layers, from outside in
- Purchase: no identity documents, optional contact, access key instead of an account.
- Payment: a coin and network of your choosing. Some are more private than others.
- Hosting: a virtual server on shared hardware that we operate and can in principle inspect.
- Storage: RAM-only plans leave no disk state; persistent plans can use full-disk encryption.
- Your software: everything you run, and the traffic it creates, is under your control.
Practical next steps
- Harden the server with the checklist.
- Encrypt a persistent disk with LUKS and remote unlock.
- Understand RAM-only servers before relying on them.
- Choose a region deliberately. See jurisdictions.
FAQ
Common questions
Can you recover my access key?
No. Only a hash is stored. If you lose the key and have no other way to prove the order (a transaction id, for example), the order cannot be recovered. Save the key when it is shown.
Is a VPS from AnonVPS anonymous?
No service can promise that. The architecture reduces the data collected at purchase and what is left on hardware. Your traffic, your software and your habits still matter.
Why is there an access key instead of a password?
A key is generated for you, shown once and stored only as a hash. It avoids reused passwords and means we hold no secret that unlocks your account.
What if I lose my access key?
It cannot be recovered, because only a hash is stored. Keep it in a password manager or offline.
