You can host a server in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia without KYC. OnionVPS operates a VPS location there since 2024, and signup requires only an email address you control. Mongolia is not a member of the Five, Nine, or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances, so intelligence-sharing agreements do not apply.

Why hosting in Ulaanbaatar looks the way it does

Ulaanbaatar sits in an independent Central Asian jurisdiction with cheap cold-climate cooling, as our editorial notes. It is outside the Five, Nine, and Fourteen Eyes alliances, and GDPR does not apply to personal data processed here. The facility offers a 10 Gbit/s uplink, DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6 /64, and NVMe storage. Estimated round-trip times are 72 ms to Singapore, 91 ms to Frankfurt, and 142 ms to Ashburn, making it a useful edge location for Asian coverage and a midpoint between Europe and North America.

People deploy latency-sensitive services for East and Southeast Asia, including gaming servers, VoIP relays, and real-time trading proxies. The 72 ms path to Singapore and 34 ms to Almaty suit regional CDN origin nodes and VPN endpoints. Independent hosting for blogs, mail servers, or blockchain nodes also lands here, benefiting from low cost and no intelligence-sharing obligations.

Frequently asked questions

Is Mongolia a good place to host a server?

Independent Central Asian jurisdiction with cheap cold-climate cooling.

Is Mongolia in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?

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

Does the DMCA apply to a server in Mongolia?

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

How fast is Ulaanbaatar from Europe and North America?

Estimated round trips are approximately 91 ms to Frankfurt and 142 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 Ulaanbaatar?

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.

Is a court order required for content takedowns in Mongolia?

Yes, generally. Local copyright law applies and typically requires a court order for content takedown, unlike the DMCA's notice-and-takedown system. We cannot advise on specific cases, but we process valid legal requests as required by law.

How do I pay for a Ulaanbaatar VPS?

Payments are cryptocurrency only through OxaPay, with invoices denominated in US dollars. Plans are billed monthly, quarterly, annually, or biennially. No fiat, cards, or PayPal are accepted. The entry price is $4 per month.
