What Ko-Net is
Ko-Net sells AMD EPYC virtual servers hosted in Stockholm on hardware it says it owns, along with managed DNS and server administration; the site footer names Kodomu Hikari G.K. (Ko Networks) as the operator. Its terms say KYC is not required or expected under any circumstances and that users need not provide any information on signup: the privacy policy describes a User Key issued at registration, with email optional. The terms also say it may have to hand over existing account data or disk contents under a valid warrant or court order, and recommend disk encryption. Payment is in Monero, Bitcoin, Lightning or Litecoin through a self-hosted BTCPay Server, with refunds to crypto within 14 days.
