VPS Hosting Built for Journalism and Source Protection
Journalism in 2026 carries operational risk that did not exist a decade ago. Source documents, drafts, and contact lists need infrastructure that resists casual disclosure requests and is run by a provider that does not respond to fishing expeditions. AnubizHost serves journalists with offshore VPS in Iceland, Switzerland, and other privacy first jurisdictions, paired with crypto billing and a no logs operational posture.

Why Hosting Choice Is an Editorial Decision
The provider hosting your CMS, your document store, or your communication tooling is part of your editorial workflow whether you treat it that way or not. A provider that quietly cooperates with informal requests, mirrors logs to third parties, or sells access to telemetry is a vulnerability that no encryption layer on top can fully fix. AnubizHost is set up for journalists who treat the hosting decision as an editorial one and want a provider whose defaults align with source protection.
We accept crypto for billing, do not require identity verification, and locate infrastructure in jurisdictions with explicit constitutional press protections. The combination of those defaults is what matters - any single feature in isolation is easy to undermine.
Iceland and Switzerland for Editorial Operations
Iceland has a long tradition of press freedom legislation, including the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative that codified source protection and limited prior restraint. Switzerland combines strong privacy law with a banking secrecy culture that extends to journalistic source protection in practice. Both jurisdictions require formal court process to compel data disclosure, and both have track records of resisting informal requests.
Picking your hosting jurisdiction based on the legal regime where your data lives is one of the highest leverage decisions an investigative team can make. AnubizHost makes that choice explicit at checkout.
Operational Practices That Matter More Than Hardware
Hardware specifications matter less than operational habits. Full disk encryption with strong passphrases, SSH key only authentication, separation of staging and production, and minimal logging on the application layer all do more to protect sources than any single product feature. We provide the substrate that lets you implement those practices without provider side telemetry undermining them.
For teams that need a dedicated tooling environment for sensitive projects, a separate VPS per project gives you blast radius isolation. Crypto billing means each project can be billed independently without creating a traceable account portfolio that ties projects together for an outside observer.
