You should be able to rent a computer with money, and not much else. No scan of your passport, no card that ties the box to your name, no phone number to "verify." That is the whole idea here: a Windows Server 2022 VPS you reach over RDP, paid for in Bitcoin or Monero, running a couple of minutes after the payment confirms.
This is a plain how-to. What you get, what it costs, how to pay privately, and — the part most pages skip — where "no KYC" stops helping you.
What you're renting
A real Windows desktop on a server, not a stripped-down container. You log in over RDP as Administrator and get the full graphical Windows Server 2022 environment: install software, run a terminal or a trading platform, leave it on. Every plan has a 150 Mbit/s port and unmetered traffic.
There are four plans, and the only real decision is NAT versus a dedicated IP:
- Windows-Small — $11/mo. 4 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB NVMe. NAT: RDP arrives on a personal port, the price stays low. The default choice.
- Windows-Medium — $19/mo. 6 vCPU, 6 GB RAM, 60 GB NVMe. Same NAT networking, more room for several apps at once.
- Windows Small-IP — $28/mo. 4 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB NVMe, your own public IPv4 with RDP on the standard port 3389.
- Windows Medium-IP — $36/mo. 6 vCPU, 6 GB RAM, 60 GB NVMe, dedicated IPv4.
If you just need a desktop you connect to, NAT is enough and cheaper. Pick a dedicated IP only when something has to reach the server on a fixed public address. The full grid is on the Windows VPS page, and the image details live on the Windows Server 2022 OS page.
Paying in Bitcoin or Monero
Sign up with an email — that is the only identifier we ever ask for. At checkout you pick the coin and network:
- Bitcoin — on-chain, the address and QR are shown on the invoice.
- Monero (XMR) — private by design; amounts and addresses aren't public the way Bitcoin's are.
- Stablecoins — USDC and USDT on Base, Ethereum, Solana, Tron, BNB Chain or Polygon. Base is usually the cheapest and fastest.
No wallet? You can buy crypto with a card right at checkout and pay from there. Nothing auto-charges: there is no card on file, and renewals are invoices you choose to pay. When the payment confirms, provisioning starts and the dashboard shows your RDP details.
Bring your own licence (BYOL)
The one honest catch. The image is Windows Server 2022 Evaluation — perfect for getting started, but not a licence for real use. You activate it with your own key, which is not included in the price:
slmgr /ipk YOUR-WINDOWS-KEY
slmgr /ato
If your key is for a different edition, switch first:
DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:YOUR-KEY /AcceptEula
Holding a valid licence with hosting/mobility rights is on you. We give you the machine and a clean image; the key is yours. There is a fuller walkthrough in BYOL Windows Server licensing.
Connecting the first time
The dashboard shows the exact host:port, the Administrator user, and a one-time password. From Windows:
mstsc /v:HOST:PORT
From macOS or Linux:
xfreerdp /v:HOST:PORT /u:Administrator
On a NAT plan the port is a personal one shown in your dashboard; on a dedicated-IP plan RDP answers on 3389. If RDP ever locks you out — a firewall rule, a wrong password — there is a graphical console (noVNC) in the dashboard with a Ctrl+Alt+Del button, so you can always get back in. Step-by-step: connect to a Windows VPS over RDP.
Where "no KYC" stops
This matters, so it's not buried at the bottom. Paying privately keeps the rental from being tied to your legal name. It does not make you invisible, and it is not permission to do harm:
- Your usage still identifies you. Log into your accounts, visit your usual sites, and the server knows what your laptop knows. No-KYC is about not collecting your ID to sell you a server — not anonymity for whatever you run.
- The AUP still applies. Spam, mass mailing, malware, botnets, credential-stuffing and attacks get a server suspended no matter how you paid. There is no "bulletproof" tier here.
- Your licence is real. BYOL means a genuine key. Evaluation is for evaluating.
Within those lines, a Windows box you rent with an email and a bit of Monero is a genuinely clean way to have a remote Windows desktop that isn't wired to your identity.
Ready?
Pick Windows-Small ($11/mo) if you want the cheapest way in, or a dedicated-IP plan ($28/mo) if something needs to reach RDP on a fixed address. Pay in the coin you like, and you'll be at a Windows desktop in a couple of minutes.
