Questions, answered.
What buyers usually need to know about uNode, crypto payments, billing cycles, supported images, support, and account balance.
Anonymity & KYC
Do I have to verify my identity to sign up?
No. uNode does not collect ID, selfies, address, or government documents at any tier. You use the console entry point and pay with cryptocurrency.
Is no-KYC VPS hosting legal?
Yes, in the United States and most jurisdictions. Hosting providers are not generally required to KYC customers. You remain responsible for complying with the laws that apply to what you run.
Can I sign up over Tor or a VPN?
uNode does not block Tor or VPN traffic for marketing-site access. Authentication and payment flows in the console may still be subject to provider-level abuse controls.
Payments & billing
Which cryptocurrencies do you accept?
uNode is crypto-only and supports a broad set of assets through the console payment flow, including major coins and stablecoins.
Do you accept credit cards or PayPal?
No. Fiat payment rails would add identity collection obligations that conflict with the launch product model.
How does billing work?
Choose Pay-as-you-go, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year. Longer billing cycles lower the monthly equivalent. All servers are metered by the hour internally for fairness, so you only pay for time the server existed. Billing applies to running and stopped servers because disk and IP resources remain reserved.
See the pricing page for billing-cycle examples.What happens if my balance runs out?
We warn when projected runway reaches 24 hours, suspend resources at a zero balance, and terminate 24 hours after suspension. Keep enough balance to cover the billing cycles and resources you choose.
Can I get a refund?
Crypto top-ups are generally non-refundable once confirmed on-chain. Unspent balance remains available for future servers and resources unless otherwise required by law.
Deployment & infrastructure
How fast can I deploy a VPS?
Most servers should provision in under 60 seconds once the account has balance and the selected package is available.
Where are your servers located?
The launch region is US-East in Vinthill, Virginia, United States. More locations will be published only when they are actually available.

Browse OS image pages.Do you support Windows VPS?
Yes. Windows VPS plans are available alongside Linux and BSD plans. Windows pricing includes the Microsoft license cost, so it carries roughly a 30% premium for the same CPU, memory, disk, and transfer. The same dashboard and billing cycles apply.
Do I get full root access?
Yes. Linux & BSD images include full root access; Windows images include Administrator access. We do not install a managed software stack on your server.
Can I set reverse DNS / PTR records?
Reverse DNS is in scope for the VPS product. The console owns the exact workflow for setting PTR records.
Use cases & policy
What can I host on a uNode VPS?
Anything legal and within the acceptable use policy: websites, apps, databases, VPN endpoints, bots, self-hosted services, CI workers, and other normal VPS workloads.
Can I run a Tor relay or exit node?
Non-exit relays are the expected privacy-network use case. Exit nodes create abuse and IP reputation risk and should not be assumed allowed without written approval.
Can I send email from my VPS?
Mail workloads require careful configuration and reputation management. Reverse DNS helps, but spam or abusive mail will trigger enforcement.
Where is the acceptable use policy?
The public AUP page is available at /aup as a launch stub. Until the full policy is published, email support@unode.net with acceptable-use questions.
Support
How do I get support?
Email support@unode.net for account-specific help, or use the official Telegram updates channel at t.me/uNodeHosting for launch notes, status updates, and quick coordination.
Do you have a status page?
The /status route exists as a placeholder while the public status page is being prepared. For incidents, email support@unode.net or follow t.me/uNodeHosting.
Is there an API?
API documentation lives at https://docs.unode.net. The /docs page in this site points there.
