Which dedicated server plans count in the price pool?
The same rules apply to every host:
- Host: takes crypto, is not sanctioned, and asks for no ID at signup or only on stated triggers.
- Plan: bare metal, not a VDS or cloud instance, with one IPv4, a 1 Gbit/s port and 10 TB of traffic or more.
- Billing: payable one month at a time and not shown as sold out.
- CPU: launched in 2018 or later. Xeon E3 and E5, EPYC 7001 and Ryzen 1000 are out.
- Storage: SSD and NVMe only, counted raw.
- Setup fee: one twelfth is added to the monthly price.
The 17 pool hosts: 1Gbits, AbeloHost, AlexHost, Anubiz Host, Bacloud, Cherry Servers, FlokiNET, HostSailor, KoDDoS, MonoVM, NiceVPS, OffshoreDedi, PrivateAlps, Privex, Servers.Guru, SwissLayer and Zomro.
What is cheaper than the pool, and why is it left out?
Old CPUs, hosts that refuse crypto and hosts that ask for ID undercut the pool. According to Ironatoll's check of 30 October 2026, the cheapest dedicated server of 27 of 34 hosts runs on a CPU launched before 2018.
Offers below the pool, and the rule they break
| Offer | Specs | Monthly price | Left out because |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zergrush 2x Xeon E5-2670 | CPUs from 2012, 16 cores, 48 GB, 720 GB SSD | €49.00 ($54.74) | Legacy CPU; port and traffic not stated |
| HOSTKEY bm.v1-max | Xeon E3, 4 cores, 32 GB, 960 GB SSD | €50.00 ($55.86) | ID required (KYC/AML); legacy CPU |
| Hetzner AX41 | Ryzen 5 3600, 6 cores, 64 GB, 1 TB NVMe | €59.00 ($65.91) | No crypto; out of stock |

Which hosts accept Monero, ask for ID, ignore DMCA or allow Tor exits?
28 of the 34 hosts accept crypto. 15 accept Monero and 3 accept Bitcoin Lightning. 13 never ask for an ID document, 16 ask only on stated triggers such as a refund, and 3 ask everyone.
Only 4 of 34 dedicated-server hosts state that they ignore DMCA notices, and only 4 allow Tor exit relays. Both lists name Anubiz Host, AliasVPS, PrivateAlps and SwissLayer. FlokiNET allows exits after a ticket. More on which hosting providers allow Tor exit nodes and can I rent a dedicated server without KYC.
How long does setup take, and who charges a setup fee?
Hosts promised a median setup time of 24 hours, ranging from 30 minutes to 10 business days. Cherry Servers quotes an average of 12 minutes for pre-built servers; 1Gbits and MonoVM write 5 to 10 business days. 9 of 34 hosts charge a setup fee on at least one plan, Zomro and Privex among them.
Where are dedicated servers located?
The Netherlands leads: 19 of 34 hosts sell dedicated servers there. The top five are the Netherlands (19), Germany (15), the United States (14), the United Kingdom (12) and Singapore (11). See which country is best for an offshore dedicated server.
What do these prices mean for a buyer?
At every size, the median dedicated server costs 1.7 to 3.5 times the cheapest credible offer. Compare like with like:
- Match the cores, RAM, SSD and CPU generation.
- Add one twelfth of any setup fee to the monthly price.
- Check that the price is monthly, not a 6- or 12-month rate.
- Read the refund terms: several hosts ask for ID only then.
- Check the processor. Bacloud, MonoVM, 1Gbits and Zomro use Cryptomus or Heleket; Zomro uses nothing else. The UK designated their operator on 8 October 2026.

How do Ironatoll prices compare with the market?
Each Ironatoll plan is priced at least 25% under a named reference server from this pool, read on 30 October 2026. We do not claim to be the cheapest at every size: the pre-2018 servers and AliasVPS that the pool leaves out list less. Atoll 64 costs $72.62, 78% below the median of 14 hosts. See how much does an Ironatoll dedicated server cost.
Its limits: no Monero or Lightning, no IPMI console, no GPU and four countries. Setup takes 72 hours or less from the moment your payment is confirmed.
What does this price index not cover?
It is a one-day snapshot of listed prices and published policies.
- Stock: rarely shown, so a counted plan can be sold out.
- MonoVM: shows no setup-fee field, so it counts with none.

Dedicated server price per month: FAQ
What is the cheapest dedicated server paid in crypto without KYC?
In the pool, Bacloud was cheapest at 4 cores and 16 GB, at $84.91 a month. Ironatoll sells that size for $63.68 per 30 days, priced against that named offer; we do not claim to be the cheapest at every size.
Why is AliasVPS not counted in the index?
Its listed prices are three to five times below every other host, and delivery was not checked with an order. Its prices stay here, marked listed, not counted.
Why are Xeon E3 and E5 servers left out?
Those CPUs came out between 2012 and 2017. The index counts CPUs from 2018 or later, so a 2013 Xeon does not set the price of a 2022 Ryzen.
Does the index measure speed or uptime?
No. It compares listed prices and published policies only. No host was tested.
