No-Log Hosting - Zero Data Retention Servers

Most no-log hosting providers focus exclusively on network traffic logging. While that is important, it is only one piece of the puzzle. AnubizHost takes a comprehensive approach to data minimization that covers every system that touches your account.

Our billing system retains only your account ID, plan type, and cryptocurrency transaction hashes. Support tickets are automatically purged after resolution. Control panel session data is kept in memory only and discarded when your session ends. Even our internal infrastructure monitoring is designed to prevent data from being attributed to specific customers.

This holistic approach to no-log hosting means there is no side channel through which your activity or identity can be reconstructed. It does not matter if network logs are clean if your billing records, support conversations, or control panel activity create a detailed profile of who you are and what you do.

Many countries have enacted mandatory data retention laws that require hosting providers to store customer information and traffic data for extended periods. These laws create a legal obligation that directly conflicts with no-log hosting principles.

AnubizHost addresses this challenge by operating in jurisdictions where data retention mandates are either absent, limited in scope, or have been struck down by courts. We carefully evaluate the legal landscape of every jurisdiction where we operate and select locations that provide the strongest possible framework for minimal data retention.

Where legal obligations do exist, we comply with them in the narrowest possible interpretation. Our legal team works with privacy-focused attorneys to ensure that our data minimization practices are defensible under applicable law while still providing the strongest possible protections for our customers.

Our no-log architecture is built on three principles: do not collect, do not store, do not aggregate. At the network layer, our switches forward packets using hardware-accelerated routing tables without exporting flow data to any collector. There are no span ports, no packet brokers, and no deep packet inspection devices in our network path.

At the compute layer, our KVM hypervisors are configured with minimal logging. Libvirt logs are set to ERROR level only, capturing hardware failures but not operational events. The host kernel uses a minimal iptables ruleset without connection tracking logging. ARP tables and neighbor caches use short timeout values.

At the application layer, our management platform runs with structured logging that explicitly excludes customer-attributable data. Log entries reference internal system identifiers rather than customer accounts, and even these operational logs rotate every 24 hours with no archival.

No-log hosting is the right choice whenever the confidentiality of your server activity matters. This includes hosting privacy tools like VPNs and Tor relays, running communication platforms for at-risk populations, operating journalistic or whistleblower infrastructure, and any application where an adversary could benefit from access to your hosting provider's records.

It is also the right choice if you simply believe that your hosting provider has no business tracking what you do with the resources you pay for. Privacy is a right, not a privilege reserved for those with specific threat models. You should not need to justify wanting no-log hosting any more than you need to justify wanting curtains on your windows.

AnubizHost makes it easy to get started. Choose a plan, pay with cryptocurrency, and deploy your server. Every plan includes the same no-log protections - there is no standard tier that logs and a premium tier that does not. No-log is the only way we operate.
