Tor VPS Hosting - Anonymous Virtual Private Servers

An AnubizHost Tor VPS gives you complete control over a virtual server that is accessible only through the Tor network. You get full root access via SSH over Tor, with your own dedicated .onion address for both SSH and any services you choose to run. Install any software, configure any service, and run any workload - it is your server.

Unlike shared hosting, a Tor VPS provides dedicated CPU cores, guaranteed RAM, and isolated storage. Your applications run in a fully virtualized environment with KVM, providing hardware-level isolation from other customers. No other tenant can access your memory, storage, or network traffic.

We provision Tor VPS instances on Debian or Ubuntu with minimal packages pre-installed. Tor is configured and running at boot, with your .onion address active immediately. From there, you can install web servers, databases, application runtimes, or any other software from the standard repositories or custom sources.

Our Tor VPS plans range from lightweight instances suitable for personal blogs and small services to high-performance configurations capable of running demanding applications. Entry-level plans start with 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, and 30 GB NVMe storage - enough for a WordPress site, a lightweight API, or a personal communication server.

Mid-range plans offer 2-4 vCPUs, 4-8 GB RAM, and 60-120 GB NVMe storage, suitable for database-backed applications, development environments, and medium-traffic websites. High-end plans provide 8+ vCPUs, 16-32 GB RAM, and 240+ GB storage for resource-intensive workloads like data processing, machine learning inference, or high-traffic web applications.

All plans include high-speed bandwidth over Tor, one IPv4 address for outbound Tor connectivity (never exposed to visitors), and our Tor-accessible management panel. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time through the control panel, with changes taking effect immediately and data preserved across transitions.

Each Tor VPS is deployed behind a strict firewall that blocks all inbound clearnet traffic by default. The only way to reach your server is through its .onion address. Outbound traffic is routed through Tor by default, though you can configure clearnet access for specific applications that require it, such as fetching software updates.

We provide an iptables-based firewall configuration tool through our management panel that lets you control which .onion services are exposed and on which ports. You can run multiple services on different ports, all accessible through your single .onion address. Rate limiting and connection throttling are configurable to protect against abuse.

For advanced users, we support custom kernel parameters, swap configuration, and IPv6 networking over Tor. We also offer optional DDoS mitigation at the Tor layer using proof-of-work challenges for incoming connections, which is particularly effective at protecting hidden services from the flood-based attacks that sometimes target .onion sites.

A Tor VPS is the most flexible option for hosting on the Tor network. Run a secure communication server with XMPP or Matrix accessible only via .onion. Host a private code repository with Gitea or GitLab. Deploy a personal cloud with Nextcloud. Set up a VPN gateway that chains Tor with WireGuard for layered anonymity. The possibilities are limited only by your server resources.

Organizations use our Tor VPS hosting for SecureDrop installations, providing whistleblowers with a safe submission channel. Privacy tool developers host their update servers and documentation on .onion addresses. Research institutions run honeypots and network measurement tools that need to operate anonymously on the Tor network.

Developers appreciate the Tor VPS for building and testing .onion-native applications. With root access and a full Linux environment, you can develop Tor-integrated software, test hidden service configurations, and deploy prototypes without maintaining local Tor infrastructure. Our VPS gives you a persistent, always-on development environment accessible from anywhere through Tor Browser.
