Cockbox review
Cockbox offers Linux and BSD VPS hosting, promoting itself as Tor-friendly, with payment accepted in Bitcoin or Monero. To sign up, users provide an email address and a password. While the email address is not verified, important information like server details and support replies are sent to it. According to the abuse policy, no IP logs are associated with customer accounts. A significant point to note is that if a server is not paid for by its expiry date, Cockbox may shut it down and destroy it, sometimes immediately. In our view, Cockbox is suitable for users looking for a small server that can be paid for in cryptocurrency.
ID rule not stated
Cockbox's own pages do not give one answer on when it asks for ID.

How we read the terms
We do not give privacy services a score. We record what each provider's own pages say: when it asks for ID, the limits, who holds your coins and what it costs. Labels come from each provider's terms, never from our guess. How we read the terms
Our process
We take fees, availability, licenses and coin counts from primary sources: Cockbox's own fee schedules, terms and help pages, and the public registers kept by regulators. Every value carries the date we last checked it. The values on this page were checked on October 22, 2026.
