Short answer
Yes, you can host a server in Nassau, Bahamas, without KYC. The Bahamas is outside the Five, Nine, and Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances, so your traffic is not subject to their surveillance frameworks. The DMCA does not apply, as it is US statute and local copyright law requires a court order. OnionVPS offers VPS in Nassau from $4 per month.

Why hosting in Nassau looks the way it does
OnionVPS has operated in Nassau since 2023, with a 10 Gbit/s uplink and DDoS scrubbing. The jurisdiction sits outside the EU legal perimeter, so GDPR does not apply to personal data. Estimated round-trip times are 23 ms to Ashburn and 105 ms to Frankfurt, with a 6 ms hop to Miami. There is no income tax and no data-retention statute, making it a clean offshore position for US-facing workloads.
People deploy mail servers, seedboxes, and privacy-focused proxies in Nassau. The low latency to the US East Coast (23 ms to Ashburn) suits US-facing services, while the absence of DMCA takedowns makes it a haven for content that faces aggressive takedown elsewhere. NVMe storage and native IPv6 /64 support demanding network services.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bahamas a good place to host a server?
No income tax, no data-retention statute, and a 45 ms hop to Miami for US-facing latency without US jurisdiction.
Is Bahamas in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
No. Bahamas is not a member of the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances, which is one reason it appears in our offshore tier.
Does the DMCA apply to a server in Bahamas?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Bahamas is governed by Bahamas copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Nassau from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 105 ms to Frankfurt and 23 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 Nassau?
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 are the laws on data retention in the Bahamas?
The Bahamas has no data-retention statute, per OnionVPS's editorial note. This means there is no legal requirement to hold connection logs. OnionVPS itself retains connection logs for 0 days, and signup requires only an email address, no identity documents.
How do I pay for a Nassau VPS without fiat?
Payment is cryptocurrency only through OxaPay. Invoices are in US dollars. You can pay monthly, quarterly, annually, or biennially. There is no card, PayPal, or fiat option. Signup requires only an email address you control, with no identity verification.
