A VPS is a virtualized server that functions like a dedicated physical server but at a lower cost and with isolated resources (CPU, RAM, storage). It’s widely used to host websites, applications, bots, proxies, and more. This means the provider does not require personal details (name, address, government ID) when signing up — and often accepts cryptocurrency payments such as Bitcoin or Monero to enhance privacy. Offshore” means the server and hosting company are located in a foreign jurisdiction chosen for strong privacy laws, reduced government surveillance, and often more relaxed regulation compared to domestic (e.g., U.S.) hosting.
