Short answer
Yes, you can host a server in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, without KYC. Cambodia is outside the Five, Nine, and Fourteen Eyes intelligence alliances, so no data-sharing agreements apply. The DMCA does not apply here because it is US law and a Cambodian host is not bound by it; local copyright law requires a court order. Entry price is $4 per month.

Why hosting in Phnom Penh looks the way it does
Phnom Penh sits in a light-touch regulatory environment, with transit routed via Vietnam and Thailand. OnionVPS has operated this region since 2024, offering 10 Gbit/s uplink, DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6 /64, and NVMe storage. The facility benefits from excellent regional connectivity: 5 ms to Ho Chi Minh City, 9 ms to Bangkok, 16 ms to Kuala Lumpur and Hanoi. Singapore sits at 17 ms, making this a practical hub for Southeast Asian traffic.
People deploy latency-sensitive services for Southeast Asian users: VoIP trunks, real-time messaging, multiplayer game servers, and financial data feeds that need single-digit millisecond hops to nearby metros. The jurisdiction also suits privacy-conscious workloads—VPN exit nodes, Tor relays, or services handling sensitive user data—where avoiding intelligence-sharing agreements and DMCA takedowns matters more than European proximity.

Frequently asked questions
Is Cambodia a good place to host a server?
Light-touch regulatory environment with transit via Vietnam and Thailand.
Is Cambodia in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
No. Cambodia 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 Cambodia?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Cambodia is governed by Cambodia copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Phnom Penh from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 130 ms to Frankfurt and 196 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 Phnom Penh?
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 ping times to Singapore from Phnom Penh?
Estimated round-trip time to Singapore is 17 ms. This makes the region a strong choice for workloads serving the broader Southeast Asian market, where Singapore is a common interconnect hub. The nearest OnionVPS region, Ho Chi Minh City, is about 5 ms away, so you can build a low-latency mesh across the region.
Can I run my own kernel or boot custom ISOs?
Yes. Every plan gives you full root access, true KVM virtualisation, and custom ISO upload. You can boot OpenBSD, NixOS, Whonix, or a hand-rolled image. Nested virtualisation and raw sockets are available, so you have the same control you would expect from dedicated hardware. The out-of-band VNC console recovers broken network configs without a ticket.
