About nokyc.host

Who we are

nokyc.host is run by a small editorial team focused on privacy tooling and infrastructure. We are not a hosting provider and do not resell hosting. Our goal is simple: make it easy to see which providers will actually let you rent a server without handing over identity documents, and how firm that promise is.

How we verify providers

1. Read the terms. We read each provider's terms of service, acceptable use policy, privacy policy, and payment pages, and quote the exact clause the KYC level is based on.
2. Score the KYC level. Each provider gets a level from 0 (identity checks guaranteed never) to 4 (mandatory), with a confidence rating. The scale is defined on the methodology page.
3. Measure reliability. Support reply times and uptime are measured by us, not copied from marketing pages. Missing measurements are left blank rather than guessed.
4. Re-check and log changes. Data is refreshed regularly. Changes to key facts (KYC level, crypto payments, no-logs policy, jurisdiction, starting price) are recorded in a public change history on each provider page.

Independence and sponsorship

Some providers pay for sponsored placement. Sponsored listings are always labeled AD, may be pinned near the top of lists or shown in "similar providers" blocks, and their outbound links are marked as sponsored. Sponsorship affects position only. It never changes a provider's KYC level, price score, reliability score, or overall rating, and it cannot buy a better KYC level.

Some "Visit" links are affiliate links: if you buy through them, nokyc.host may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Every outbound link passes through a short redirect page that tells you whether the link is an affiliate link before you leave the site. Commissions work the same way as sponsorship: they never affect rankings, KYC levels, or scores.

Corrections policy

If a provider's terms change or we got something wrong, tell us. We re-check the source, update the listing, and the change appears in that provider's public change history with the date it was made. Providers can request a re-review the same way; we only change a score when the provider's published terms support it.

Email corrections to [email protected], or use the submission form.

Rating badges

Every provider page includes an embeddable badge showing its current star rating and KYC level. Badges update automatically when a score changes, so they are always accurate. Grab the code from the "Embed this rating" box on any provider page.

Your privacy on this site

We don't use cookies for tracking, analytics scripts or ads. The only thing we count is how many times each provider's "Visit" button is clicked, as a daily total per provider. We don't store your IP address or browser details to do this.
