About Private WebHost
Private WebHost sells cPanel hosting, KVM VPS and RDP, Swiss dedicated servers, colocation, domains and a VPN, and says it has operated since 2016. It takes payment only in cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin, Monero, Litecoin and Ether, through its own BTCPay Server. Its privacy policy says only an email address and password are required, with no name, address, phone, date of birth or government ID collected by default, and login IP data anonymised within 7 to 14 days. Its terms say it does not require real-name registration or routinely ask for identity documents, but may ask for limited verification to fight fraud or abuse or meet legal obligations. Payments are final, and no company name is published.
