BuyVM

Frantech's BuyVM brand — VPS provider (acquired by Cloudzy Jan 2025) with locations in Luxembourg, NYC, Las Vegas, and Miami. Anonymous accepted (no real-name required), payment via BTC/XMR/PayPal. Free 1 Gbps DDoS protection bundled. Smaller fleet than Hetzner but more permissive on content (within legal limits).

2026 update. Two verified changes since the initial listing: (1) BuyVM was acquired by Cloudzy in Jan 2025 — founder Francisco stayed on and told the community at the time there would be *"no change in pricing… no reduction in resources… no downgrades in hardware."* (2) In May 2026 BuyVM announced its first-ever price adjustment, effective 2026-07-01, of roughly 15-25% across all KVM Slice plans (e.g. 4 GB slice $15→$17 for existing customers, $20 for new). Operator's stated reason is >15% upstream DC and bandwidth increases over the preceding six months. The pricing move breaks the letter of the acquisition-time promise, though the reasoning is disclosed publicly. Grade held at B — the operator's transparency in explaining the increase, and the fact that even post-hike pricing stays competitive with the peer set, keeps this above C; but the *"independent"* framing has been dropped from the tagline.
