KYUN

Signup and VPS deployment was shockingly fast. They take Monero and spin things up instantly even without confirmations. The bad reviews here don't match my experience at all — naptha's friendly, actually responds, and goes above and beyond especially for under ten bucks a month.

The website looks clean and you can tweak your setup how you want without breaking the bank. Problem is they're tiny, so their support team is basically nonexistent and kind of rude. You'll be stuck waiting forever just to get talked down to like you're an idiot.

Been with Kyun for over two years now, crazy how fast that went. Solid service overall, occasional hiccups happen everywhere, but they're upfront about everything, the interface is slick, and the pricing is hard to beat. Honestly what else do you need?

Really dependable overall, had a few brief outages but the support team more than made up for it and the control panel is super intuitive. Naphtha definitely threw some colorful language my way, still coming back for sure though. VM and storage deals are insane, that 5 euro per TB monthly rate is absolutely unbeatable. Perfect spot for my completely above-board media collection!

People love to complain. Sure this review bombing might tank Kyun's score temporarily, but the actual service isn't going anywhere. A few gripes here are legit, but most are just spamming the same tired nonsense nobody asked for. If you're actually shopping for hosting, check out their Before You Buy guide and fact-check everything these copy-paste reviews claim.

Downgrading from five stars to one. Everything's running again now but losing four days straight is pretty rough, though to be fair they do warn you upfront in their docs that this isn't for mission-critical stuff and there's no uptime guarantee. The support folks aren't the problem, the infrastructure is, though you basically have to spam them to get any response at all. The owner did step up off-platform afterward and helped people recover. My server failed to boot a couple times, staff blamed disk corruption both times, and their AI bot had me convinced I'd need to nuke everything and start over. Glad I pushed for a human instead, they somehow salvaged everything intact both times. I had backups so it wouldn't have been catastrophic, but now I'm automating daily snapshots and you should too. Once my remaining credit's gone, I'm out, they won't refund it. Lesson learned that paying a couple extra bucks for mediocre hosting beats going dirt cheap. Nearly a year of mostly smooth sailing before this mess though, so I genuinely hope they figure their stuff out.

Bumping my score down after seeing how things actually are. Website support takes more than a day to get back to you. Added extra storage to my VPS and it straight up doesn't work at either location since that outage back in mid-May. Their status page is useless, just says "Node Unreachable" so you can't tell what's actually happening with your server. The homepage stutters like crazy if you scroll fast, someone needs to optimize that properly. Also pretty sus how legitimate criticism seems to vanish while glowing reviews that look fake as hell stick around, makes this whole operation seem way more trustworthy than it is. Fine for toy projects where you don't care about reliability, wouldn't trust it with anything that matters. Really hoping they get their act together because otherwise it's getting shelved permanently.

Gave them another shot after being a past customer, huge mistake. Nonstop outages, the website is obviously vibe-coded garbage that chugs even on a high-end Ryzen machine, the person running the show acts like a child, and policy changes drop out of nowhere. They just slashed CPU limits with barely any warning, only announced it in some Matrix room, nothing on the actual site or blog. They've done this before, bending to Crunchbits in the US and forcing the same restrictions on their Romania location through iHostart even though they're completely separate providers. Also wiped data in their US facility because they botched a RAID expansion. The only thing going for them is they're marginally cheaper than competitors, but you absolutely get what you pay for here.

Support could've been tighter but overall I enjoyed working with them, just wish their Romania site had IPv6 available.

Literally made this account to warn people. Uptime is a complete joke. My session dies out of nowhere, server just ghosts me with zero explanation. Last outage dragged on for days with no real reason given. Really wanted to like this service but never again, can't in good faith tell anyone to use it.

The downtime is absolutely brutal, though I guess the low cost is nice. Support just made everything worse honestly.

Things were running smoothly enough until that five-day blackout everyone keeps mentioning. Their Telegram turned into a complete circus with staff just trolling people, and the owner was openly going off on customers too, which they even admitted to in some Mesa blog post. Take their own advice seriously, don't run anything important here unless you're religious about backups and can afford to lose it.

Five days of downtime, are you kidding me? Support is a black hole, and on the rare occasion they do answer they act like middle schoolers. Their whole platform is some homemade vibe-coded disaster where nothing works intuitively and basic stuff like timestamps on tickets is missing entirely. Oh and they jacked up prices recently, so any config change locks you into the new rates. Also super suspicious that two perfect five-star reviews popped up right when they dipped below four stars, definitely not them padding their own score or anything.

Running both a Matrix and Minecraft server on Kyun without any problems whatsoever.

Kyun's affordable and gets the job done. Big fan of them taking Monero too. Just know what you're signing up for, don't park anything crucial there. If being offline for a bit would ruin your day, look elsewhere. Personally I've got some Minecraft and Hytale servers going for my friend group and it's been solid :)

The VPS itself is okay for the money, and yeah, they plaster the "not for critical stuff" warning all over their site, fair play. But being cool with multi-day outages on the regular is basically a requirement here. What actually ruins it is how they handle problems. When the network's dead for everyone, the admins are cracking jokes in Telegram. Ask what's up and they shuffle you off to website support. Then you sit in that chat for hours with zero response while watching the same admins goof around in the group. One of them straight up called half the userbase "retarded" publicly. Sure some people ask dumb questions, but when you've got a real problem and get told "soon" while they go back to memeing, it's beyond frustrating. Cheap, unreliable, and a toxic support culture.

Ordered a VPS, fresh install was already broken, claimed no OS was there but it definitely was. Then their whole node network cratered for three full days. My server was actually usable for maybe five hours total. Support was quick to reply but useless the whole time. I stayed polite and patient throughout, but the instant I brought up getting my money back, radio silence. Never asked them to do any hands-on configuration, just wanted a functional server, that was it. Spent three days requesting refunds, first to my Monero wallet, then even just site credit, got nothing. Worst five bucks I've ever blown. Hard pass. Also IPv6 is completely broken, they blame "DDoS" so you're forced to buy IPv4 for another couple euros. Maybe I just hit bad luck and it's not always this awful. If they'd actually refund my XMR I'd bump this to four stars, that's where it'd be without the three-day outage. Support itself isn't terrible.

Longtime Kyun user here, it's been pretty good overall. Clean interface, cheap VPS with custom images, nice flexibility. Uptime is the weak spot though, most of the year you won't notice anything but those one or two yearly outages can stretch on for hours or even days. Their terms spell it out clearly though, no guarantees on uptime, availability, or performance, not meant for critical stuff. That's on you if you ignore that. Small operation, budget prices, spotty reliability, pick two I guess.

Picked Kyun because the price was unbeatable and I could load my own OS. Lately though there's been random downtime with servers flickering on and off every few hours with zero heads up. Had a DOS thing a few months back too. Even on good days the latency runs higher than I'd like.

Solid performance for what you pay, reasonably stable, feature set is pretty good. That AI summary on kycnot.me is straight up wrong, IPv6 definitely works there. Wouldn't trust it with business stuff or anything essential but for personal projects the value is great. Stay far away from their Matrix and Telegram communities though. Also their warrant canary expired two days ago so if you're paranoid about that kind of thing, heads up.

Multi-year customer here and it's been genuinely great, they actually build features around what users want. Signup is completely anonymous and hassle-free, you get auto-refunded if you kill your server early, and resizing up or down is totally flexible. Only gripes are the occasional problems at their Romania datacenter and the lack of IPv6 there too.

Great deal if you don't need IPv4 — their IPv6-only servers cut the price to just 1.50€ monthly. Hard to beat that value.

Been with Kyun for around two years now. Early on there were some uptime hiccups, which is fair enough for a budget host that's still finding its feet. Adding credit and spinning up VMs has always been smooth though, and Naphtha's actually reachable when something goes wrong — that's rarer than you'd think. Solid choice for the price.

Terrible experience. Everything ran fine for ages, then out of nowhere they wiped $400 from my balance. Tried reaching out to the admin and got completely ghosted. Keep your account balance low — they'll grab whatever you leave sitting there.

Signed up with Monero and it's been pretty much smooth sailing. The interface is stripped-back but gorgeous — seriously, don't ever redesign this. Pricing feels more than fair, and I love being able to tweak specs and IPv4 on the fly from the panel. The FAQ's straight-up about trust and encryption too, which I respect. No downtime personally yet, though I'm still fairly new.

Super cheap, snappy performance, but don't expect any hand-holding from support. Bucharest goes down now and then, stuff breaks occasionally. That slick dashboard will cook your laptop though. Honestly? You pay peanuts, you get monkeys — worth it anyway.

Really solid overall — clean interface, great experience, and I'm hyped for the on-demand Linux containers they're teasing. Uptime's the one thing holding it back from perfection.

Wait, are these guys even operational right now? Website's dead, Matrix's dead, can't reach my VPS either... That said, zero complaints on my US box for the six months it was running. Knocking a star off for going completely radio silent during outages.

Solid service, been on it for six months now. Signup's painless, you can hook up TOP and link mail or Matrix, and you pick your own specs. The catch? Uptime. Romanian servers drop for 1-5 hours every couple weeks, which stings. No idea if the US side's any better. Still pushing it to friends though — they're actively improving and I'm optimistic they'll sort the reliability out.

Jesus christ I just needed a dirt-cheap VPS for an IRC bouncer and this is hands-down the cheapest no-KYC option out there, even if the specs are overkill. Gullo Hosting does NAT VPS at $3.50/year but wants your ID and feels way more legit with their comms and warrant canary. Wish they'd take cash by mail alongside Monero though.
