Copyright-only takedown mail gets filed and closed at these 12 racks; local law governs. Crypto invoices, no KYC, Iceland and Zurich included.
US copyright templates get filed and closed here — they are not process at any of the 12 facilities. Local court orders and evidence-backed abuse reports do move; CSAM never hosts.

Launch nowPolicy in one paragraph
The stance is written, not implied: copyright-only takedown mail is received, filed and closed with no action, because a US notice template has no legal force where these racks stand. The long version lives in Guides and on the DMCA policy page. What does move things is narrow — a court order from the facility's own jurisdiction, or an abuse report carrying evidence. Paying in Bitcoin changes none of that analysis; what it deletes is the merchant account that panics first.
What happens to each kind of notice
| What arrives | Who can send it | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| US DMCA takedown template | any rights holder or agent | filed and closed — a US template carries no legal weight in these jurisdictions |
| Local court order | court in the server's jurisdiction | real process: counsel reviews it, compliance follows if valid |
| CSAM / phishing / attack reports | anyone, with evidence | acted on — the AUP has no copyright exception |
| Private "abuse" letters, forwarded templates | anyone | not accepted as process |

Jurisdictions for DMCA-ignored hosting
| Location | Why pick it | Entry |
|---|---|---|
| Iceland (Reykjavik) | strong free-speech tradition, no US-style takedown regime | VPS from $6/mo |
| Switzerland (Zurich) | civil-law privacy, process stays local | VPS from $6/mo |
| Netherlands (Amsterdam) | peering hub, best EU latency; provider-policy driven | VPS from $6/mo |
| Luxembourg (Luxembourg) | EU data-trust regime, Tier IV / 2N+1 | VPS from $6/mo |
| Dedicated (any of 12) | exclusive metal, IPMI | from $39.20/mo annual |
List prices 2026-09. Base list at eight of the twelve locations; only IS/NO/CH/LU add a premium.
Where the racks sit
Company paper in Saint Kitts and Nevis; hardware in twelve elite facilities. Reykjavik and Zurich lead the speech-law shortlist, Amsterdam and Frankfurt carry the peering, Luxembourg adds the institutional Tier IV pin, and Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taipei cover Asia. Flag choice happens at checkout as a latency-and-law decision — never a surcharge beyond the published IS/NO/CH/LU premiums.
What this policy is not
Not crime hosting, by position and by name. Criminal process that lands where the facility stands gets complied with; CSAM, phishing, spam and paid attacks are acted on with evidence at every tier; and no coin choice — Monero included — alters that. What the stance sells is simple: a copyright form letter is not a kill switch here, and the hard lines are published in the AUP before you order.

Product pairing
The catalog behind the stance: no-KYC VPS from $6/mo list, Titan's 320 GB for archives and mirrors, metal when the workload wants whole cores. The dedicated variant of this page — DMCA-ignored dedicated servers — opens at $39.20/mo annual-eff with IPMI on the invoice, and the Titan tier carries archive-heavy use at $24/mo list.
What actually happens to a copyright notice?
It is filed and closed. A US takedown template holds no legal force at these facilities, so there is nothing to forward and nothing to counter.
Is DMCA-ignored hosting legal?
Yes, in the sense that each jurisdiction picks its own process: renting a server where foreign takedown templates carry no force is a lawful rental. AUP and local law still govern the content.
Will you hand my data to a US rights holder?
No. Nothing moves on a US template; only process issued where the facility stands — reviewed by counsel — moves anything.
Does the policy cover crime reports?
No. CSAM, phishing and attack reports with evidence are acted on everywhere; copyright-only mail is the one category filed and closed.
Iceland or Switzerland?
Iceland for the speech statute and zero retention mandate; Switzerland for FADP and civil-law process. Amsterdam wins when peering latency leads the requirements instead.
Which plans carry this policy?
Every plan at every flag — the stance is contractual, not a tier perk. VPS lists from $6/mo; metal follows from $39.20/mo annual-eff with IPMI.
Can I pay in Monero on these racks?
Yes — the 19-coin invoice runs at all 12 facilities, with XMR and seven USDT networks on the same page.
