Will my VPS work from inside Iran without a VPN?

Yes. Outbound connections from Iran to our Romania/Netherlands/Iceland nodes work over standard ports. No Iranian filtering rule blocks our IP ranges as of June 2026, though we rotate IPs if anything changes.

Can I pay with Iranian rial or Shetab?

No. We accept BTC, XMR, USDT and LN only. Iranian users typically buy crypto on Nobitex or Wallex and send to our payment address.

Will US sanctions cause my server to be terminated?

Our supplier relationships are with EU and Iceland operators that do not apply US OFAC restrictions. We do not collect nationality data so there is nothing to flag.

Can I run V2Ray, VLESS Reality or Shadowsocks?

Yes. These are common workloads on our VPS and we do not interfere. See our /en/vless-reality-setup guide.

Iran VPS Hosting - Offshore Servers for Iranian Operators

Iranian users face a unique mix of local payment friction, international sanctions blocking AWS and Hetzner, and ISP-level filtering of common services. AnubizHost provisions offshore VPS that accept Bitcoin and Monero (no card, no Iranian ID), route from Tehran in under 90ms to our Romania node, and never appear on the Iranian filtering blocklist by default. Plans start at $5.99/mo.

Why Iranian Users Need Offshore VPS

Mainstream cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Hetzner, OVH, DigitalOcean) routinely block Iranian IPs and Iranian payment methods because of US OFAC sanctions. Even if you sign up with a non-Iranian card, account suspension follows the moment usage patterns are detected. Hosting outside that perimeter is not a preference, it is a requirement.

The second pressure point is local payment. Visa and MasterCard do not operate inside Iran. Shetab cards do not work for international purchases. The only realistic settlement layer is crypto: Bitcoin, USDT, Monero. AnubizHost accepts all three with no KYC and no questions.

Best Locations for Iran-Bound Traffic

Romania (Bucharest) offers 85-95ms RTT from Tehran with stable IRGW peering. Netherlands sits around 110-130ms via Frankfurt-Istanbul fiber. Iceland is the privacy-first choice at 150-170ms - acceptable for web and admin work, less ideal for low-latency gaming or trading.

For Iranian developers running CI/CD or Telegram bots, Romania is usually the right pick. For activists and journalists who prioritize jurisdiction over latency, Iceland or Finland is the sovereign option. See offshore VPS locations.

What You Can Run

Iranian developers commonly use AnubizHost VPS for V2Ray and VLESS servers (Reality, Vision, gRPC), Telegram MTProto proxies, WireGuard endpoints for personal use, Outline servers, and self-hosted Mastodon or Matrix instances for circles that have left Twitter and Telegram.

Commercial use cases include Iranian SaaS startups serving global customers, Telegram channel admins who need a stable IP for bot hosting, crypto traders running Hummingbot or Freqtrade, and academics maintaining mirrors of blocked academic resources.

Payment and Signup for Iranians

Sign up with any email (ProtonMail and Tutanota work without phone verification). Pay in BTC, XMR, USDT (TRC20 is cheapest from Iranian crypto exchanges like Nobitex), or LN. Activation is automatic within 10 minutes of payment confirmation.

No Iranian ID, no Shaparak gateway, no credit card. We do not file CTRs and we do not retain billing identity beyond what is needed for service delivery.

Pricing for Iranian Users

Starter VPS (2 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 40GB NVMe, 1Gbps) starts at $5.99/mo. Mid-tier (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 80GB NVMe) is $14.99/mo. See anonymous VPS plans and crypto VPS for higher tiers. Iranian users get the same price as anyone else - no surcharge.
