Hosting a Peer-to-Peer Crypto Marketplace
You are building a P2P crypto-fiat marketplace - users post offers to buy or sell crypto for fiat (or other crypto), the platform matches them, escrow holds the crypto during the fiat leg, and dispute resolution handles edge cases. LocalMonero, Bisq, and the now-departed LocalBitcoins are the canonical examples. This page covers hosting such a platform on an Anubiz offshore VPS substrate.

We implement, you ship. Async, documented, done in days.
Architecture
Typical P2P marketplace: web frontend, application API, Postgres database, Redis cache, escrow signing service (often multisig per currency), notification service for off-platform comms, admin dashboard, dispute resolution UI, and per-currency node connections (Bitcoin Core, monero-wallet-rpc, etc). Privacy-preserving marketplaces also typically offer onion access. Total: 3-5 VPS for a small platform.
Sizing
Web and application: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM. Database: 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, NVMe storage. Escrow signer: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, isolated network. Bitcoin node: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 600+ GB storage for a full node. Monero node: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 250+ GB storage. Add capacity per additional currency. The Anubiz VPS catalog covers all these slots in single-digit dollars per VM per month.
Anubiz binding
Anubiz offshore VPS plans from $17.90/mo. Marketplace-grade plans with NVMe and 4 vCPU+ from $39.90/mo. Dedicated server options for the database tier. Iceland and Romania are recommended jurisdictions; Netherlands works for performance-prioritized European deployments. Crypto payment, no KYC.

Compliance reality
P2P crypto-fiat marketplaces face strict regulatory attention in most jurisdictions. Anubiz provides hosting; we do not provide regulatory cover. You will need legal counsel familiar with money services business law in every jurisdiction where you accept users. Some operators choose to restrict the platform to crypto-crypto trades to reduce exposure. Anubiz takes no position on your compliance strategy and is not a defense against it.
