What is a good Hetzner CCX alternative that accepts crypto?

What does Hetzner CCX cost after the June 2026 change?

CCX13, the smallest CCX, cost €43.49 a month before VAT in Germany and Finland on 2 November 2026, about $48.59. Hetzner describes the line in these words: "With General Purpose instances, you get dedicated vCPUs that offer predictable and consistently high processor performance." It names the processor only as AMD.

The prices rose for new orders on 15 June 2026. According to heise online, servers already running kept their old price, while new servers and rescaled ones are billed at the new rates. Moving a CCX to a bigger size therefore reprices it.

CCX is Hetzner's dedicated line; its shared CPX line behaves as described in the difference between a shared and a dedicated vCPU.

Which dedicated-vCPU clouds take crypto?

Among the large clouds, Vultr and DigitalOcean take crypto, but each wraps it in an identity step; Hetzner, Linode and netcup take none. On 2 November 2026:

• Vultr accepts several coins through BitPay. Its documentation says a payment method must be added because it "helps verify your identity".
• DigitalOcean accepts stablecoins, but says the option is limited and may not be offered everywhere, and it starts with a one-time $25.00 authorization.
• Hetzner says on its payment page: "We do not accept cryptocurrencies." It may also ask for an ID document or a card prepayment before processing an order.
• Linode lists cards, Google Pay and PayPal, and no crypto.
• netcup takes no crypto and asks new customers to verify their identity after the first order, or to prepay.

If the point of paying in crypto is to skip identity checks, these five are not the answer. The hosts that take crypto without an ID document, and call their CPU dedicated, are listed in what a dedicated CPU VPS costs per core in November 2026.

How do the CCX sizes compare, plan by plan?

At 2 and 4 vCPU, CCX was the most expensive of the six offers below; at 8 and 16 vCPU, Vultr and DigitalOcean cost more. CCX also gives the most memory: 4 GB per vCPU, where Cobaltfell, Vultr, DigitalOcean and Linode give 2 GB.

According to Cobaltfell's survey of 2 November 2026, one CCX13 vCPU cost $24.30 a month, about three times the $8.20 median of a dedicated vCPU on a 2022-or-later processor at hosts that take crypto without an ID document.

Where does Cobaltfell differ from CCX?

The main trade is memory: a CCX plan has twice the RAM of the Cobaltfell plan with the same vCPU count. If your CCX13 uses its 8 GB, the like-for-like choice is Fell 4 (4 vCPU, 8 GB) at $27.84 month to month, still below CCX13's $48.59.

The other differences, side by side:

• vCPU: A vCPU is one hardware thread of the host processor. Yours are pinned one to one to your VPS and never lent to another customer, and the two threads of a physical core stay together, so every 2 vCPU make one whole core that no neighbour shares.
• Processor: Every plan runs on AMD EPYC 9004/9005 server processors (Zen 4 / Zen 5), a family first launched in November 2022; a VPS is never moved to an older node without telling you first.
• Disk: Fell 2 and Fell 4 match CCX13 and CCX23 (80 and 160 GB of NVMe); Fell 8 and Fell 16 have more than CCX33 and CCX43 (320 and 640 GB, against 240 and 360).
• Traffic: CCX includes 20 TB in Europe. Each VPS gets one IPv4 address and an IPv6 /64 on a 1 Gbit/s port. The monthly traffic of your plan counts outgoing data only, and going past it never adds a charge by itself; Fell 2 includes 4 TB.
• Billing: CCX is billed by the hour with a monthly cap. Rent a VPS for 1 month, 3 months (10% off), 6 months (20% off) or 12 months (30% off) at a time. A longer term costs the monthly price times its months, minus its discount, rounded down to the cent: Fell 8 is $54.63 for 1 month, $147.50 for 3, $262.22 for 6 and $458.89 for 12. A renewal repeats the term of your order at the same price, unless you choose a different term for the next one in your dashboard.
• Delivery: A member of the team builds each VPS by hand once the payment is confirmed, a job of minutes rather than seconds: the dashboard shows the progress, then the IP address once the VPS boots. 1 hour at most after your payment is confirmed; most VPS are ready within a few minutes.
• Cities: Amsterdam (Netherlands), Zurich (Switzerland) and Bucharest (Romania): all four plans in all three cities, at one price.
• Backups: Backups are not part of any plan: keep a copy of your data somewhere else.
• Identity: No KYC at any point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card and no phone number.

Which no-KYC hosts sell the same shapes as CCX?

Two hosts in our crypto pool sell plans with exactly the CCX sizes (2 vCPU, 8 GB, 80 GB up to 16 vCPU, 64 GB, 360 GB), on AMD EPYC 7003, a 2021 processor. On 2 November 2026:

• CryptoVPS.host sells a line its own store names "Dedicated CPU - Hetzner Cloud - US/EU": $65 a month for 2 vCPU, 8 GB and 80 GB, and $276 for 16 vCPU, 64 GB and 360 GB.
• Servers.Guru sells "dedicated vCPU" cloud servers in the same five cities as Hetzner's cloud outside Singapore (Nuremberg, Falkenstein, Helsinki, Ashburn, Hillsboro): €69.99 ($78.19) for 2 vCPU and 8 GB.

Servers.Guru costs more than CCX at every size. CryptoVPS.host costs more at 2 and 4 vCPU and less at 8 and 16 ($145.50 and $276, against $155.28 and $308.89). Neither page says who runs the hardware. For dedicated cores on a 2022-or-later processor, paid in crypto without ID, the shortlist is in which is the best dedicated CPU VPS provider in 2026.
