Short answer
Budapest, Hungary, is a no-KYC hosting location. OnionVPS operates a site here since 2022, with 20 Gbit/s uplink, DDoS scrubbing, and native IPv6 /64. Hungary is not a member of the Five, Nine, or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances. The DMCA does not apply, as it is a U.S. statute; local copyright law generally requires a court order. Plans start at $4 per month.

Why hosting in Budapest looks the way it does
OnionVPS's Budapest region sits in a jurisdiction outside the intelligence-sharing alliances, meaning data processed here is not automatically shared with those allies. Geographically, it is central to Europe, with low latency to nearby regions like Bratislava and Vienna. The site offers NVMe storage and native IPv6, making it a solid choice for latency-sensitive workloads. As an Edge-tier location, it complements larger footprints, and the editorial note highlights competitive transit pricing.
Deploy proxy endpoints, mail relays, or VPN gateways here for central-European coverage, or run latency-sensitive services that benefit from sub-5 ms hops to Slovakia and Austria. The legal posture suits projects that prefer a jurisdiction outside intelligence-alliance data sharing, such as privacy-focused analytics or data processing roles.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hungary a good place to host a server?
Central-European capacity with competitive transit pricing.
Is Hungary in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
No. Hungary is not a member of the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances, which is one reason it appears in our edge tier.
Does the DMCA apply to a server in Hungary?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Hungary is governed by Hungary copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Budapest from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 13 ms to Frankfurt and 101 ms to Ashburn. These are computed from great-circle distance rather than measured, so treat them as a floor.
Do I need to identify myself to order in Budapest?
No. Every OnionVPS location has the same signup: an email address you control and a cryptocurrency payment. No name, no address, no document, no card.
What is the latency between Budapest and Frankfurt?
The estimated round-trip time from Budapest to Frankfurt is about 13 ms, based on a great-circle estimate. This is suitable for services that need to respond quickly to central-European clients. Actual latency will vary with network path and load, but the site's 20 Gbit/s uplink provides ample capacity.
Does Hungarian law require data retention?
FACTS do not specify any Hungarian data retention laws. However, GDPR applies to personal data processed in Hungary, which sets data protection standards. For specific retention obligations, legal advice is recommended. OnionVPS retains connection logs for 0 days, and no identity verification is ever required.
