Run your Lightning node on a VPS built for it
Static addressing, at least 1 TB of transfer a month, Tor permitted, and no KYC. Pay for it with Lightning. We run our own node, so your payment never touches a processor.
Why this VPS for a Lightning node
Static IPv4 and IPv6 on every plan. An announced node needs an address that does not move. Both are included, not an add-on.
Plenty of transfer. A routing node talks to its peers all the time, and that fits easily in the 1 TB a month every plan includes. Need more? Add it when you order or later.
Tor is permitted. Run your node over Tor if you want to. We do not block it, and we do not use Google captchas.
No KYC. No personal information to sign up. Your node, your keys, your business.
Pay with Lightning. There is a certain symmetry to funding your Lightning node over Lightning, and we settle it through our own LND node rather than a third-party processor.
Where
Dublin (IE), London (GB) or Quebec (CA). Dublin has the deepest capacity if you need a large node, up to 64 vCPU and 128 GB RAM.
Sizing
Build exactly what you need. CPU, memory and storage are configured independently, SSD or HDD, rather than forced into fixed tiers.

Running a Nostr relay too? That one does not need a whole server. It is from €1.50 a month as a Managed App.
