See the quoted policy ↓Our verdict
Cloudzy is a VPS-only host with servers in the US, several European countries, the UAE, Singapore and Australia, aimed at buyers who want fast, crypto-payable virtual servers without handing over documents. Its anonymous VPS page says signup needs only a working email and a successful payment, with no ID or phone check. The terms add a caveat: the provider says it complies with applicable anti-money-laundering laws when there is a clear case for a compliance review. ID requests or held funds therefore remain possible if a payment gets flagged.
Cloudzy accepts Monero alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT, and for private payments Monero matters more than the card, PayPal or bank options. It says it does not run on-chain analysis on incoming crypto and issues a unique address per invoice. Only one account per customer is allowed without approval from support. Recovery without identity verification is deliberately limited, so losing access to the account email may mean losing the account.
Cloudzy keeps its lineup simple, running from entry-level instances under 1 GB of RAM up to 12 GB. Every plan gets a dedicated IPv4, a routable /64 IPv6 block and volumetric Layer 3/4 DDoS mitigation at no extra cost. Images cover Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux, and custom ISO upload works on every tier, which opens the door to other systems. Traffic beyond the monthly allotment is metered rather than cut off. Servers are provisioned about 60 seconds after payment confirms, and the provider advertises a 99.95% uptime SLA.
Cloudzy offers a 14-day full refund, with crypto returned to the sending address at the original USD-equivalent value, so a coin that has risen in price comes back as fewer coins. Suspensions for AUP violations forfeit the refund, and a chargeback freezes the whole account while the dispute is open. Credible abuse complaints, including copyright ones, lead to suspension. Tor middle and guard relays are allowed, exit relays are not. The provider logs abuse signals such as SSH brute-force attempts and network anomalies, and says it responds to lawful requests under UAE law.
Cloudzy makes sense for developers and privacy-minded buyers who want a Monero-payable VPS in many regions with DDoS filtering and IPv6 included by default. Its no-ID marketing sits beside an AML clause, abuse logging and a ban on exit relays, so anyone who needs a firm guarantee against document requests, or wants to run a Tor exit, is better served by a stricter host. Customers who do sign up should guard the account email carefully, since recovery options are thin.
