GhostVPS — anonymous VPS, pay with Monero, no KYC (intro + AMA) - GhostVPS

AI Generated Fake Reviews are not really a good look, are they?

I get my smaller VPS'es for $5/mo and without DMCA breathing down my neck. I don't think your doubled price and censorship-heavy locales meet that bar.

@Shecp Monerica reviewed that and has now acted. The note
is gone, both reviews were deleted, and the listing is back to Admitted status.
Anyone can check: https://monerica.com/site/ghostvps

For completeness, since I said I'd report either outcome: we did not post or
commission those reviews, and Monerica told us the two reviewers had supplied
XMR transactions with them — so they may well have been real customers who used
an AI tool to write their text. We didn't ask for anyone to be punished for
that. We asked for the note attributing them to us to be reconsidered, and said
we'd rather show no rating at all than one we can't vouch for. We have not
solicited reviews on any directory and we won't.

@ancap_objectivist
your point stands and I'm not going to argue it away.

On price: you can absolutely get a VPS for $5/mo. We resell DigitalOcean and
now OVHcloud at a markup, and we're not going to beat a small host running
oversold or NAT boxes. What you're paying the difference for is real cloud
infrastructure, in-house per-chain payment processing with no third-party
processor, and not having to identify yourself. If the lowest monthly number is
the priority, we're the wrong choice and I'd rather say so than pretend.

On jurisdictions and DMCA: also fair. Our locations are mainstream EU/US/APAC
datacenters with real acceptable-use policies, and Tor exit nodes are not
allowed. We are not a DMCA-ignored or bulletproof host and we don't market
ourselves as one. Our privacy model is that we don't know who you are — no KYC,
no email, crypto payment — not that we ignore abuse complaints. Those are
different products and it's worth being clear about which one this is.

Two things that are new since July and are checkable rather than claims:
PGP key at https://www.ghostvps.shop/legal/pgp-key.txt, and a signed warrant
canary at https://www.ghostvps.shop/legal/canary/ that you can verify with it.

Also since this thread was posted: OVHcloud was added alongside DigitalOcean,
so it's now 15 cities across 10 countries rather than the 9/8 in the first post.

The reviews were removed because they seemed fake and the timing was weird. But we still have the 2 transaction IDs which we can provide if there is a debate about it. There was no actual order ID supplied however.

@monerica @ghostvps Seems obvious to me that this is just damage control, I rarely see anything like this on monerica, bitlist was another good example though for having unrealistic quantities of reviews for a newly listed service (that suddenly stopped when someone said something), so why would someone random come and make two fake reviews for no benefit of their own?
It sounds to me like ghostvps is feigning innocence so they can pretend like it wasn't them.

so its proxy vps like njalla who proxied the domain registration to them?

@UsualCat Basically just resellers, considering there is so many good options for Monero VPS services, there is no reason to pay them a massive commission to resell you the same thing you could buy elsewhere for the same or less.

@Shecp i see, maybe all he need was just gain and keep the reputation. since its vps, they had more worth to it more than the price, its the data
