Yes, you can host a server in Tbilisi, Georgia, without KYC. OnionVPS operates there since 2021, outside the EU legal perimeter and every intelligence-sharing alliance (Five, Nine, Fourteen Eyes).

Why hosting in Tbilisi looks the way it does

Tbilisi sits in the South Caucasus, outside the EU's GDPR and the Eyes-alliance frameworks, making it a genuinely offshore jurisdiction within Europe's vicinity. The facility runs on a 20 Gbit/s uplink, cheap hydroelectric power, and a liberal telecoms regime, as our editorial notes. It is 4 ms from Yerevan and within 20 ms of Nicosia, Istanbul, and Amman, giving regional resilience without EU entanglements.

Common deployments are crypto node infrastructure and payment processors, given the non-alliance posture and absence of DMCA takedowns. Latency of 41 ms to Frankfurt and 102 ms to Singapore suits trading bots and regional mirrors. The KVM virtualisation with native IPv6 and NVMe storage handles continuous blockchain synchronisation.

Frequently asked questions

Is Georgia a good place to host a server?

Non-EU, non-alliance, with a liberal telecoms regime and cheap hydroelectric power. A favourite for crypto infrastructure.

Is Georgia in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?

No. Georgia is not a member of the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances, which is one reason it appears in our offshore tier.

Does the DMCA apply to a server in Georgia?

No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Georgia is governed by Georgia copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.

How fast is Tbilisi from Europe and North America?

Estimated round trips are approximately 41 ms to Frankfurt and 128 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 Tbilisi?

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 backups stored locally in Tbilisi?

No. Optional nightly encrypted backups store in a second jurisdiction, separate from Tbilisi. They offer seven daily restore points and are encrypted at rest. This protects against regional failures or legal seizures, without us retaining connection logs, which stay at zero days regardless.

Can I get additional IPv4 addresses for a Tbilisi server?

Yes, for $3 per month per extra IPv4 address, routed to your instance with no justification form. Your server includes one IPv4 and a full routed IPv6 /64 subnet. More addresses let you run multiple services on distinct public IPs in this jurisdiction.
