Hosting for the open internet.
Privacy, free speech, no surveillance.
Anubiz Host is an offshore hosting provider founded in 2023. We exist for one reason: keeping legal speech, independent projects, and privacy-sensitive workloads online when mainstream providers will not.
Why we exist
The web is shrinking. We are pushing back.
Over the last decade, hosting consolidated into a handful of US-anchored cloud providers. Their abuse desks now serve as de-facto global content moderators. A single complaint, a single payment-processor flag, a single automated takedown, and an entire project disappears overnight. There is no appeal, no due process, no human at the other end.
Anubiz Host exists for the projects that fall through that crack: researchers publishing inconvenient findings, journalists working in hostile jurisdictions, security tooling, Tor relays and exits, mirrors of censored content, harm-reduction sites, archival efforts, independent media, and builders who simply do not want their entire operational identity stored in a US KYC database.
None of that requires breaking the law. It just requires a host that reads the law carefully, picks its jurisdictions on purpose, and refuses to take everything down at the first email from a party with a grievance.
Our story
Started in 2023. Still small on purpose.
Anubiz Host was founded in 2023 by independent operators with a background in offshore infrastructure, payment systems, and network operations. Operations are headquartered in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, with infrastructure presence in Iceland through long-standing partner relationships. Production servers live in the jurisdictions where they make sense for clients, not where they make sense for tax optimization.
We started with a single dedicated server, a payment processor that did not require us to fingerprint every customer, and a short rule: if a request to take a client offline does not pass a real legal review, we do not take the client offline. Everything since then has been an extension of that rule.
We deliberately stay small. Smaller fleets mean we know every client, every abuse pattern, every legal contour of every jurisdiction we operate in. It also means we do not need billion-dollar margins to keep the lights on, which means we do not need to make moderation decisions that protect a stock price.
Mission and values
Four things that do not move.
Free speech first
We host journalists, dissidents, researchers, and builders who get deplatformed by mainstream providers for legal but inconvenient content. If it is legal in the host country, we keep it online.
Privacy by default
No KYC. No mandatory ID. No selfie verification. No phone number required. You sign up, pay, and get a server. The same way the internet used to work.
Jurisdictional clarity
Every node sits in a jurisdiction we chose for predictable legal posture. We publish where each service runs so you can make informed decisions about your own threat model.
Censorship resistance
DMCA notices, frivolous abuse reports, and political pressure get filtered through real legal review, not a panicked compliance bot. We push back when pushing back is correct.
Where the servers live
Jurisdictions we picked on purpose.
We publish exactly where every node sits. No vague "global cloud" marketing. You should know whose courts can compel what before you upload your data.
Romania
Bucharest
Live production fleet. EU jurisdiction with strong free-speech precedent.
Iceland
Reykjavik
Renewable energy, strong privacy law. Rolling out next.
Finland
Helsinki
Stable EU jurisdiction, low latency to RU and CIS.
Netherlands
Amsterdam
High-bandwidth carrier-neutral DCs. AMS-IX peering.
Rollout order is driven by client demand and supplier maturity, not press releases. New locations are announced only after the first production node is live and tested.
Why crypto only
Cards and PayPal are a censorship vector.
Payment rails are the soft underbelly of every hosting provider. The fastest way to take a host offline is to convince Visa or Stripe that one of its clients is unacceptable. We sidestep that chain entirely by accepting Bitcoin, Monero, and other major cryptocurrencies through privacy-respecting processors.
We do not store full billing identities. We do not sell, share, or correlate client data across services. We do not run behavioral fingerprinting in the dashboard. Every layer of the stack is built around the principle that the host should know the minimum required to deliver the service.
The team
Small team. Long hours. Direct line.
Owner and operator
Sets jurisdiction strategy, reviews abuse escalations, signs off on every supplier contract. The buck stops here.
Ops and infrastructure
Provisioning, network, monitoring, and incident response. A small bench that covers each timezone we operate in.
Support and abuse
Ticket triage, legal review of takedown requests, and the human you reach over Telegram or email. No outsourced call-center scripts.
We do not publish individual names. Team members live in jurisdictions where attaching a real-name byline to a privacy hosting brand creates avoidable risk. If you need to verify a specific control, ticket, or incident, ask in writing and we will answer in writing.
