Where can I buy a London (UK) VPS with crypto?

What does a crypto-paid VPS cost in London?

From $5.61 a month at the smallest size to $84.59 at the largest, with a wide spread between hosts. The table gives, for each size, the least expensive London plan that met every rule, the next host, the median and the dearest. With so few hosts, one plan can move the median a long way: at 8 vCPU and 16 GB, the median of 5 hosts was $110.00.

Why do so few hosts qualify in London?

Fewer of these hosts run a London site, and several that do had nothing orderable there that day. The survey found 19 hosts selling a VPS in London. 11 of them took crypto without ID and had a plan that met the survey's size and network rules; all of them are counted in the table above. The others dropped out for reasons that had nothing to do with price:

• Cloudzy answered that the selected plan was "currently unavailable in this region", and AlphaVPS marked every London configuration out of stock.
• SurferCloud runs its London bundles on ports of 30 Mbps or slower.
• Five more missed another rule: a traffic allowance not stated, containers instead of KVM, no crypto at all, stock and billing that cannot be checked without logging in, or a $1,000 first deposit.

Three names hold second place at every size. Evoxt comes after Evolution Host at the smallest size; its pricing FAQ lists Bitcoin and USDT on Tron. HostHatch follows Bit.Hosting at 1 vCPU / 3 GB / 40 GB; the public settings of its order panel list BitPay. MivoCloud is second at the three larger sizes and shows a "Pay with Bitcoin" icon in its footer. Higher up the field narrows: 8 hosts at 4 vCPU / 8 GB / 160 GB and 5 at 8 vCPU / 16 GB / 320 GB, the fewest of the six cities at both sizes.

Does UK data-protection law depend on where the server is?

Mostly not: like the EU text it was copied from, it follows the organisation and the people whose data it handles. The UK GDPR is Regulation (EU) 2016/679 "as it forms part of the law of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland" (Data Protection Act 2018, section 3(10)). Its Article 3(1) covers a controller or processor established in the United Kingdom "regardless of whether the processing takes place in the United Kingdom or not", and Article 3(2) reaches organisations elsewhere that offer goods or services to people in the UK or monitor them there. Section 207 of the Act applies the rest of the Act on the same lines.

What a London server does change is the map for EU businesses: the data then sits outside the European Union, and moving personal data there from the EU falls under the transfer rules of Chapter V of the EU GDPR (Article 44). The texts were read on 3 November 2026. This is a summary, not legal advice.

What do OVHcloud and the US clouds charge in London?

OVHcloud is the price to watch in London, and it takes no crypto. Its VPS-1 cost £3.90 a month before VAT, about $5.23, for 2 vCPU, 4 GB and 40 GB with unmetered traffic at 500 Mbps, less than any no-ID crypto host in the city that day. Its London data centre is in Erith, in Greater London. OVHcloud's payment terms list cards, PayPal, bank transfers and a prepaid account. Vultr, DigitalOcean and Akamai (Linode) sell in London at their usual worldwide prices; Hetzner has no UK site.

Who should pick London?

Projects whose users are in the UK and Ireland, and work that has to keep its data in Britain. By distance, London is the nearest of our six cities to Dublin, Manchester and Edinburgh. A client contract or an internal policy that names the United Kingdom as the place for the data is the clearest reason of all.

Your VPS runs in a data centre in the city you pick, on IP addresses registered in that country (US, GB, NL or DE in the registry whois). Geolocation databases and websites decide for themselves where a data-centre IP address is; we make no promise about how they label yours.
