Free Speech Vps Providers Put To The Test
Last Updated: June/9th/2025: A slight edit to the Kyun section.
Recently, I found myself in need of a privacy focused VPS provider. Specifically, one that would allow anonymous signups, payment using Monero (or other cryptocurrency) and a heavy emphasis on free speech. Mind you, I didn't really have anything super controversial that I intended on posting, but knowing content far worse than I'd ever be willing to host is allowed, provides me a certain level of ease. It's like when your neighbors blatantly break the rules of your apartment complex, yet never manage to get in trouble for it. It sort of makes you feel better about your position there, since your neighbors make you look like an angel in comparison to them.
Not to mention, with this type of service, you are putting in a lot more risk. Paying with cryptocurrency means that if I pay and the service doesn't like me, they can just take down my site and refuse to refund me, or if I don't like the service they can refuse to refund me.
After literal weeks of searching, looking through list after list of "The Top X Anonymous VPS Providers" usually filled with outdated information from companies which have since gone out of business or were clearly paid promotion, I decided I needed a new approach.
I needed a template that I could send to providers that would give me an idea on their policies and also give me plausible deniability as not a shitty person. 8chan was my answer.
I formed a little template basically saying that I intended on hosting a site much like 8chan where there would be extremely light moderation and ideally people would be allowed to post whatever they wanted, even opinions that I disagreed with.
I gave a list of things that I could perceive a user posting, which got gradually worse (in my opinion) with each question.
The list contained 4 things in this order:
Pornography including controversial kinks such as Furry & ABDL
Loli/Shota/Cub
Hateful/Offensive Speech such as the N-word
Hateful/Offensive imagery such as the Nazi Swastika
My logic here was if they allow this type of content, they'll certainly allow anything; however, I later realized there might be some bias and I did my best to remedy this by creating a second list which mentioned things like
Gun Control
Abortion up to the point of birth,
Speech and Imagery Promoting Communism and Communist Beliefs
Dismantling of the Patriarchy and Systematic Racism
Though these seem to be generally more accepted opinions, I felt they were worth putting in there to try and detect any biases. I sent this secondary list using a different alias, email, IP and with a different story to go along with it.
I created a disposable anonymous email and went to work filing support tickets and sending emails to see how various Anonymous/Free Speech VPS providers would respond to me.
Furthermore, I have put together a nice little table showing the results, with further details explained a little further down.
Clicking the name of the provider on the table will send you to their section for more information.
