Short answer
Yes. Kingston, Jamaica, is outside the Five, Nine, and Fourteen Eyes alliances, so intelligence-sharing does not apply. The DMCA, a United States statute, does not bind a host here; local copyright law applies and generally requires a court order. OnionVPS offers VPS instances from Kingston starting at $4 per month, with no KYC required — only an email address.

Why hosting in Kingston looks the way it does
OnionVPS opened the Kingston region in 2024 on a 10 Gbit/s uplink with DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6 /64, and NVMe storage. The site sits at 17.97, -76.79 with several regional cable landings, keeping round trips to Santo Domingo, Nassau, Miami, and Panama City in the teens of milliseconds. That positions Kingston as an edge node for Caribbean latency, not a core hub.
People deploy low-latency relays and regional API endpoints for Caribbean-facing services. A Mastodon server or mail relay benefits from the 34 ms path to Ashburn, while the unmetered IPv6 /64 suits research crawling or exit nodes. The data locality is a cleaner fit for Jamaican users than a Miami instance, without paying for core-metro bandwidth.

Frequently asked questions
Is Jamaica a good place to host a server?
Caribbean edge with several regional cable landings.
Is Jamaica in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
No. Jamaica 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 Jamaica?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Jamaica is governed by Jamaica copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Kingston from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 112 ms to Frankfurt and 34 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 Kingston?
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.
Can I get a static IPv4 address in Kingston?
Yes. Each instance comes with an IPv4 address, and you can add an extra one at $3 per month with no justification form. The route is announced locally, so your traffic stays within the Caribbean rather than hairpinning through a distant transit point.
What if the Kingston region has an outage?
Uptime is covered by a 99.99% SLA with service credits when missed. You can also take three free snapshots and restore them instantly, without pausing the instance. For higher resilience, move to a neighbouring region like Santo Domingo (12 ms) — but that would be a deliberate choice, not a backup.
