Short answer
Yes. OnionVPS offers VPS hosting in Cairo, Egypt, without KYC. Egypt is not a member of the Five, Nine, or Fourteen Eyes intelligence alliances, so your data is not subject to those states' surveillance-sharing arrangements. The DMCA does not apply because it is US law; local copyright law governs and generally requires a court order. Entry price is $4 per month.

Why hosting in Cairo looks the way it does
Cairo sits directly on the Suez corridor, which carries most Europe–Asia fibre, giving you proximity to key routes and low-latency links to nearby regions: Tel Aviv (7 ms), Amman (9 ms), Nicosia (10 ms), Athens (17 ms). The facility offers 20 Gbit/s uplink, DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6 /64, and NVMe storage. OnionVPS has operated this region since 2023, and the legal posture—outside major intelligence alliances and the DMCA—makes it a strategic choice for privacy-focused workloads.
Cairo is a strong choice for serving audiences across Africa, the Middle East, and Southern Europe with lower latency than northern hubs. It suits latency-sensitive applications like VPN endpoints, ad filtering, IoT telemetry aggregation, and web services targeting Arabic-speaking users. The jurisdiction's position outside Western intelligence alliances also appeals for secure communications relays and data storage.

Frequently asked questions
Is Egypt a good place to host a server?
The Suez corridor carries most Europe–Asia fibre; Cairo sits directly on it.
Is Egypt in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
No. Egypt 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 Egypt?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Egypt is governed by Egypt copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Cairo from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 41 ms to Frankfurt and 129 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 Cairo?
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 actual physical location of the server?
OnionVPS's Cairo facility operates at coordinates 30.04, 31.24, which places it within the city. The infrastructure uses 20 Gbit/s uplink and includes DDoS scrubbing and NVMe storage. Uptime is guaranteed at 99.99% with service credits if missed.
Can I pay in Egyptian pounds or with a local card?
OnionVPS accepts payment only in cryptocurrency through OxaPay. Invoices are denominated in US dollars, and you can pay with crypto. No fiat, cards, or PayPal are accepted. This keeps the signup and billing process fully anonymous.
