Short answer

Yes, you can host a server in New York with OnionVPS without providing identification. The United States is a Five Eyes member, so intelligence-sharing agreements apply, but this does not restrict hosting. The DMCA notice-and-takedown regime applies here, so you must respond to copyright complaints. The entry price for any OnionVPS plan is $4 per month.

Why hosting in New York looks the way it does

OnionVPS has operated this region since 2020, anchored on a 100 Gbit/s uplink with direct connectivity to major exchanges. Estimated round-trip times are 86 ms to Frankfurt, 7 ms to Ashburn, 209 ms to Singapore, and 106 ms to São Paulo. On site you get DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6 /64, NVMe storage, custom ISO upload, Anycast capability, GPU instances, and Windows licensing. No personal data is processed under GDPR here, and no logs are retained.

New York is a transit hub, so real-world deployments include low-latency proxy nodes for European and US traffic, Anycast DNS clusters, and GPU instances for rendering or inference. The 7 ms hop to Ashburn makes it ideal for data exchange with major cloud ecosystems, while the proximity to Canada suits North American content delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Is United States a good place to host a server?

The transatlantic cable head and the lowest-latency US point for European users.

Is United States in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?

Yes — United States is a Five Eyes member. That is a legitimate consideration if state surveillance is in your threat model; it says nothing about the quality of the connectivity, which is why we operate here.

Does the DMCA apply to a server in United States?

Yes. This is a United States location, so the DMCA notice-and-takedown procedure applies in full and we operate a standard process for it.

How fast is New York from Europe and North America?

Estimated round trips are approximately 86 ms to Frankfurt and 7 ms to Ashburn. These are computed from great-circle distance rather than measured, so treat them as a floor.

Do I need to identify myself to order in New York?

No. Every OnionVPS location has the same signup: an email address you control and a cryptocurrency payment. No name, no address, no document, no card.

Are cryptocurrency payments supported for New York servers?

Yes. OnionVPS accepts cryptocurrency only through OxaPay, with invoices in US dollars. No fiat, cards, or PayPal. This applies to all regions, including New York.

Can I get a Windows licence on a New York VPS?

Yes, New York is a Windows-licensed region. A Windows Server Datacenter licence costs $12 per month per instance, and you also get full administrator access to customise it.
