The case
Why offshore for hosting for journalists & investigative reporters
Source protection is a function of jurisdictional friction. Placing sensitive components in Iceland, Switzerland, or Panama puts legal access several treaties deep, and the cost of compelling disclosure usually exceeds the editorial value of any single story. Anonymous signup plus crypto payment closes the obvious civil-process loops.

Geography
Best jurisdictions for this workload
Pick the location that matches your latency, privacy, and legal-posture requirements.
Built for people who actually care about privacy.
Four commitments that hold across every plan, every jurisdiction, and every payment method — including when you host hosting for journalists & investigative reporters. They're what makes offshore offshore.
We don't process DMCA takedowns
The DMCA is a US statute. None of our 8 operating jurisdictions are inside US territorial scope. Boilerplate, automated, or speculative takedown notices go to /dev/null. Substantive complaints under local law route through counsel, with a 5-business-day customer-response window.
No KYC. Ever.
No name, no phone, no government ID, no proof of address — at any point, regardless of order size. Sign up with a pseudonym and a password. Email is optional. You pay in crypto, straight to our wallets, so no bank or card statement carries your name either.
Zero logs. Nothing to hand over.
We don't keep server-side logs of customer activity — no access logs, no IP logs, no command-history logs. Tax / billing records follow Seychelles law (7 years, billing-only — never linked to traffic). No third-party trackers, no analytics linked to your account, no data brokerage on any tier. See our transparency report for how many subpoenas this has translated into 'nothing to produce'.
Crypto-native checkout, refunds included
Crypto goes straight to our wallets — no Coinbase Commerce, BitPay or other processor in the loop. 10 options at checkout: Monero, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Solana, TRX, and USDT and USDC on ERC-20 and TRC-20. 7-day money-back guarantee, refunded in the coin you paid with.
FAQ
Hosting for Journalists & Investigative Reporters questions
We log only what is needed to operate the platform: edge NetFlow for abuse and DDoS triage, retained 14 days, with no per-customer correlation. We do not maintain per-account access logs and do not retain payment metadata after invoice settlement.
Yes. Every plan supports outbound Tor without restriction, and Onion services run cleanly on KVM VPS plans. We can also route a dedicated IPv4 to a Tor-only listener on request.
Court orders go through our local counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. We do not preserve, disclose, or hand over data without a properly served local order; foreign requests are not auto-honored. Our retention is engineered so there is little to disclose to begin with.
Yes. Monero is the default privacy-preserving option; Bitcoin via Lightning is a strong second. Accounts can be opened with a working email and nothing else.
SecureDrop runs well on our VPS-4 or VPS-8 plans in Iceland, Switzerland, or Panama. The journalist workstation should remain on a separate, hardened machine that you control directly.
All plans include scrubbing up to the rated capacity for the tier. Cloudflare in front is recommended for public-facing pages. Premium scrubbing add-ons extend up to 400 Gbps for sustained pressure.
Yes — see our Acceptable Use Policy. We refuse CSAM, malware command-and-control, doxing platforms, and incitement to violence. Investigative reporting, even on hostile subjects, falls firmly within accepted use.
