Deploy at https://fyrhost.com/deploy/. ## NiceVPS at a glance: an offshore catalog merchant NiceVPS operates as an offshore catalog merchant: a wide shelf of jurisdictions and plan names, sold the way a wholesaler sells anything - fast, broad and a little opaque. That model works until you try to compare two line items and discover the comparison columns stop at price. FYRHost stocks the same kind of shelf, but prints SKU-level CPU and network detail on every row, because a spec you cannot read is a spec you cannot plan around. Read any FYRHost row and the numbers sit on the label: Scout carries 1 vCPU, 2 GB of ECC RAM, 40 GB of NVMe and a 1 Gbps port for $5.49 monthly, $3.00 effective on annual. The top of the VPS ladder, Sentinel, says 12 vCPU, 32 GB, 640 GB and 10 Gbps at $33.50 list, $26.80 annual. Nothing hides behind the words 'up to', and nothing changes at renewal without a paper trail. This page treats NiceVPS fairly: the catalog breadth is real, and breadth has its own value. What follows is a checklist for auditing any catalog merchant, an honest payment-rail comparison, the spots where NiceVPS genuinely wins, and a migration runbook if you decide printed specs fit you better than catalog fog. Every figure below comes from a published sheet, so you can verify rather than trust. Hold us to the same sheet you hold anyone; a published number that cannot survive your questions was not worth printing. VPS from $3* (fund $50+), storage 1–5 TB NVMe from $24/mo annual-eff, dedicated with IPMI from $30.80/mo. Crypto invoice, no KYC.

The checks take ten minutes and work on any offshore shelf, ours included. Do them with the checkout open, and refuse to pay until each line has a written answer you can keep. - Open the exact SKU and read the CPU model, the RAM type and the port speed; if a field says 'shared' or 'burstable' only, ask what it shares and when it bursts. - Ask which of the catalog's locations run on their own racks and which are resold; resellers are fine until an abuse mail needs a human on a Friday. - Get the log policy in writing: payload logs yes or no, the metadata window, and the jurisdiction where the contract entity sits. - Count the coins on the payment page itself, not on a feature list; drawers shrink quietly and you deserve to know before the invoice. - Ask whether DDoS filtering at L3/L4 ships with the plan or arrives as an upsell with a meter. - Test the signup: an inbox or token plus a 12-character password should finish it; an ID upload ends the experiment. FYRHost answers those lines up front: WESTFALL AND CO. in Saint Kitts and Nevis holds the contract, payload logs do not exist, metadata lives at most 24 hours, nineteen coins sit in the drawer, and L3/L4 filtering ships on every plan. The AUP bans CSAM, phishing, spam and attack traffic in plain words, and the jurisdiction page explains how abuse is handled under facility law. ## Payment rails compared, catalog versus drawer Offshore catalogs tend to keep a conservative till: card processors where they can get them, Bitcoin where they cannot, and a couple of stablecoins if the audience pushes. FYRHost prints all nineteen instead: BTC, XMR, ETH, BNB, SOL, LTC, TRX, XRP, DOGE, DASH, ADA, GRAM on TON, plus USDT on seven rails - TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, SPL. Nineteen matters because your funds rarely sit where a checkout happens to demand. Settlement times, from the published sheet: Monero at 10 blocks, XRP at 3 ledgers with no destination tag, TRC-20 USDT at 19 blocks or roughly 1-3 minutes, DOGE at 3 blocks, BNB at 15, DASH and ADA at 3, and BTC at 2 confirmations, 10-60 minutes in practice. The Bitcoin developer documentation covers why confirmation counts are a policy choice rather than a law of nature, if you want the primary source behind the slow lane. The qualitative difference with a catalog merchant is not coin count for its own sake; it is failure modes. If your usual exchange pauses withdrawals on the one coin a shop accepts, a two-coin till turns payment into a two-day problem and a support thread. Nineteen rails with minute-scale settlement on several of them turn the same event into a non-event, and the no-KYC signup path stays intact whichever rail you pick. ## Where NiceVPS genuinely wins Breadth is the honest win. A catalog that spans many jurisdictions lets an unusual requirement - a specific small country, a specific legal climate - find a row that fits without the buyer changing providers. FYRHost's forty sites cover a lot of ground, but no map covers everything, and pretending otherwise would be marketing. If your requirement is a location we simply do not field, the right answer is to buy the location that exists. Catalog pricing also has its own logic: shelf-wide promotions, long-horizon discounts and bundles that a printed-spec shop rarely matches. If you have audited the SKU, know exactly what 'burstable' means there, and the price beats the label, the win is yours and you should take it. Verification is the price of that bargain, and the checklist above is how you pay it. If a promotion expires and the renewal doubles, the same checklist tells you how to leave gracefully, which is the real value of having terms in writing. One more credit where due: niche offshore shelves often carry exotic shapes - huge storage rows, odd bandwidth pools - that mainstream ladders skip. FYRHost's Storage Depot covers the storage case with 1-5 TB of NVMe at $24 per TB on annual terms, but a truly exotic row may still be theirs. Compare with the sheet open, and let the rows decide. ## SKU detail is the honesty test The reason FYRHost prints per-SKU detail is practical, not philosophical. When the CPU model is on the label, you can predict build times; when the RAM type is printed, ECC versus consumer changes what you dare to run; when the port speed is explicit, capacity planning stops being guesswork. Scout to Sentinel reads as one sentence: 1/2/40/1G up to 12/32/640/10G, with 2.5 and 5 Gbps steps marked in between. Metal gets the same treatment. The Shield lists an 8-core E-2388G with 32 GB, two 500 GB drives and IPMI at $38.50 list, $30.80 annual; the Citadel lists dual EPYC 9474F, 96 cores, 512 GB, 25 Gbps and L3/L7 filtering at $298.50 list, $238.80 annual. Between them sit the Vault, Bastion and Fortress, each with the CPU spelled out rather than hinted at, so you can benchmark before you buy. Apply that lens to any catalog row before paying, and the 'same shelf' claim resolves itself: the shelf may match, the labels rarely do. If a seller resists printing the CPU, the reason is seldom pride. The Linux proc manual shows how much a kernel reveals about real hardware once you have shell access; honest sellers spare you the archaeology. ## Migration and dual-homing: moving off a catalog row Plan the move as an overlap, not a cliff. Provision the replacement beside the old row, run both for several days, and move pieces in order: data, then services, then DNS, then the cancel button. A Scout at $3.00 annual-effective makes the overlap nearly free, and it boots in about 60 seconds, so the replacement exists before you finish reading this paragraph. For mail, the order matters most: bring the store across first, then the transfer agent, then the delivery agent, and only then touch MX records. RFC 5321 defines the SMTP conversation both old and new servers must speak, and Postfix and Dovecot each document their migration notes; read both before the first rsync. Lower record lifetimes a day early so resolver caches expire on your timetable instead of the move's. Keep the old row alive through one full mail cycle - weekend included - before canceling, because delayed bounces surface late and you want somewhere to catch them. For file-heavy moves, archive-mode rsync as documented on OpenBSD's openrsync manual plus a checksum pass beats control panels; for full-system insurance, dd the old disk to an image and shelve it for a month. Both machines answering until the last minute is the whole trick. ## Trying FYRHost beside NiceVPS Start at the small end: Scout, 1 vCPU, 2 GB ECC, 40 GB NVMe, 1 Gbps, $5.49 list or $3.00 on annual. Step up through Sentry ($7.50/$6.00, 2 vCPU, 4 GB) and Ranger ($12.50/$10.00, 4/8 GB, 120 GB, 2.5 Gbps) until the workload fits; the VPS index carries the whole ladder to Sentinel's 12/32/640 with 10 Gbps at $33.50 list. Need bare metal? The Shield starts at $38.50 with IPMI on board. Signup asks for an inbox or an access token and a 12-character password; nothing else joins the file. Choose from nineteen coins, and the VPS is up roughly 60 seconds after credit lands, metal in 2-4 hours. Payload logs are never written and metadata is dropped within 24 hours, which is the posture you presumably came to an offshore shelf to find in the first place. Two documents close the loop: the AUP , which bans CSAM, phishing, spam and attack traffic, and the jurisdiction page , which explains SKN incorporation and facility-level abuse handling. Read both before paying anyone - FYRHost, NiceVPS, or anyone on the shelf. Comparisons age; written policies age slower, and you can hold either one up to the light. Is the CPU on every FYRHost plan really documented? Yes: each VPS tier and each dedicated model lists core count, CPU model, RAM type, NVMe size and port speed on the page you buy from. Scout, for example, is 1 vCPU, 2 GB ECC, 40 GB NVMe, 1 Gbps - printed, not implied. How fast can I pay and boot? TRC-20 USDT settles in 19 blocks, often 1-3 minutes; XRP needs 3 ledgers with no destination tag; Monero 10 blocks; BTC 2 confirmations, 10-60 minutes. A VPS boots about 60 seconds after credit; metal takes 2-4 hours. Do you match a catalog promotion I found? There is no matching desk to petition. The printed price is the price: Scout from $5.49 monthly or $3.00 effective on annual, and Storage Depot's annual rate works out to $24 per TB. What you give up is shelf promotions; what you keep is a label you can plan against, printed on the same page you buy from, so the check takes seconds. What happens if the rail I want is congested? Use another. Nineteen coins are accepted, and several - XRP, TRC-20 USDT, DOGE, DASH, ADA - settle in minutes on normal days, so a stalled withdrawal on one rail is a route change, not a support ticket. Can you migrate my mail server? Support will advise, but the runbook above is the real answer: dual-home, move storage first, then Postfix, then Dovecot, cut MX records last, and keep the old row through a weekend of bounces. Plan the overlap in days, not hours, and nothing user-visible breaks. ## Primary sources - [RFC 5321, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol](https://datatracker.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5321) - [Postfix official documentation](https://www.postfix.org/) - [openrsync manual](https://man.openbsd.org/openrsync) ## Related guides - [Minimum-data no-KYC checkout](https://fyrhost.com/guides/anonymous-vps-crypto-no-kyc/) - [Buy a VPS with crypto](https://fyrhost.com/buy-vps-with-crypto/) - [No-KYC VPS: requirements and limits](https://fyrhost.com/no-kyc-vps/) - [Pay with Monero](https://fyrhost.com/monero-vps/) - [Offshore VPS](https://fyrhost.com/offshore-vps/) - [VPS vs dedicated bare-metal](https://fyrhost.com/guides/vps-vs-dedicated/) - [Best no-KYC VPS 2026](https://fyrhost.com/best-no-kyc-vps-2026/) - [FAQ: crypto VPS](https://fyrhost.com/guides/faq-crypto-vps/) ## Checkout facts - **Price** VPS from $3/mo.
