Short answer
Yerevan, Armenia, offers offshore VPS hosting outside the EU legal perimeter and any intelligence-sharing alliance; the country is not a member of the Five, Nine, or Fourteen Eyes. The DMCA does not apply, as it is US law; local copyright law requires a court order. Hosting starts at $4 per month.

Why hosting in Yerevan looks the way it does
Armenia's small, independent jurisdiction has become a hub for relocated tech teams and crypto infrastructure. OnionVPS has operated here since 2023, with a 10 Gbit/s uplink, DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6 /64, and NVMe storage. Latency is competitive: about 42 ms to Frankfurt and 129 ms to Ashburn, with Tbilisi just 4 ms away.
People deploy relay nodes, light wallets, and privacy-focused infrastructure, leveraging the jurisdiction's non-Eyes status and absence of DMCA takedowns. The region also suits low-latency applications serving the Caucasus and Middle East, with rapid links to nearby regions.

Frequently asked questions
Is Armenia a good place to host a server?
Small, independent jurisdiction that has become a hub for relocated technology teams and crypto infrastructure.
Is Armenia in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
No. Armenia 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 Armenia?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Armenia is governed by Armenia copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Yerevan from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 42 ms to Frankfurt and 129 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 Yerevan?
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.
What is the legal basis for hosting in Armenia without KYC?
OnionVPS requires only an email address you control—no name, address, or document. Armenia is not subject to EU data protection rules, so GDPR does not apply to personal data processed there. Local copyright law requires a court order for takedowns, not a simple notice.
Can I install a custom kernel or boot my own ISO?
Yes. Every OnionVPS plan includes full root access, true KVM virtualisation (not a container), custom ISO upload, and nested virtualisation. You can boot OpenBSD, NixOS, Whonix, or any image you build. An out-of-band VNC console lets you recover from network misconfigurations.
