Why VPSRento exists

In late 2020, the four of us ran infrastructure at a mid-sized European hosting provider. One Monday in February 2021, legal forwarded a bulk DMCA package: 1,900 domains, one spreadsheet, one demand — suspend everything within 24 hours. No court order. No individual review. Most of the sites were legal where they were hosted. The provider complied anyway. It was cheaper than arguing.

We watched legitimate customers lose years of work to a form letter. Three weeks later we resigned. In March 2021 we rented our first rack in Chisinau, Moldova, wired it ourselves, and opened VPSRento with a rule set written in one evening: no identity collection, no card rails, no compliance with foreign takedown templates, no logs we would later be tempted to monetize or be forced to surrender.

Five years later, none of those rules has bent. We still answer only to valid court orders from the jurisdiction a service actually runs in. We still store no email addresses, no names, no phone numbers — accounts are 24-character tokens, shown once. We still publish a PGP-signed warrant canary every month. And we are still small, on purpose.
